I'll hop back on for a second here.  What you're calling "rock" is 
actually progressive rock, I think, a subset of the messy whole that 
includes dance music, punk, heavy metal, bubble-gum pop and Marilyn 
Manson.  All these things aren't going to diappear because you edit them 
out of your definition.

>Oh, let's hope not! It would be SO MUCH better if it uses only the 
original songs! It was bad enough to add horns to The Who in 1989, and 
don't even get me started about the damned drum machine...but this would 
definitely bring the work down to a lessor level.

Let's hope so.  TED will be awfully bored if they have to go on living 
in 1970.  

BTW, after our recent discussion of WAY, someone pointed out that this 
album may have provided some of the roots of the techno movement.  
Depeche Mode, the first techno band to hit big, were getting their start 
in England about the time WAY came out.
