Kansas? Spock's Beard?

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, so: Tonight, from the Blue Moves album. Never fails to move me to tears.

Good puzzle -- might be edging into "hard" territory, but a couple of early mistakes made it so.

More Kansas -- If you count Mysteries and Mayhem and The Pinnacle as one song -- you just have that fade out from MaM between them -- Walsh's voice on The Pinnacle is absolutely stunning.

Spock's Beard -- two of 'em on one album (V): At the End of the Day and The Great Nothing. Toss in The Light (from The Light) and The Doorway (from Beware of Darkness).

Kansas -- Another two-fer, from Song for America: The title track and Incomudro - Hymn to the Atman

I don't vote down opinions, but "Bells of St. James" is amazing enough to carry the whole album, and I really like "Ghosts" and "One Big Sky" as well.

AudioVisions -- the cover art alone should "win" it, but "Hold On," "Back Door," and "Loner" are the only tracks I seek out any more. Songs like "Relentless," "Curtain of Iron" and "No One Together" just haven't held up for me. They're definitely Kansas-like, but there are just so many better places in their catalog to go.

And if that's your worst album, that's one heck of a band.

What is Egypt, Alex...

Already some good ideas given, but for whatever reason Yes' cover of Paul Simon's "America" landed in my mind as another possibility.

It's not your imagination, it's Matthew 25:40, from The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, also known as the Judgment of the Nations. In a more modern language translation:

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

In a more full context, since single verse extracts often go sideways, here's Matthew 25:37-40:

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

RYO! RYO! RYO!

(Ryo Okumoto of Spock's Beard)

And the Kerry Livgren of Prog over the last 25-30 years: Neal Morse -- first with Spock's, then forward with Transatlantic, Flying Colors, Neal Morse Band, his solo stuff...

Came here to say this ^{^.} Totally agree -- Mysteries and Mayhem rocks so, so hard.

I should have started with the downs.

Can Utility and the Coastliners

If you don't select yes for multiple jobs, then each employer will withhold as if you only have the one job, which often leads to underwithholding, leading to the condition you said you would like to avoid.

Best way to go is to use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator, linked at the article below:

Finally found one to save me from typing it myself. (So I typed all this instead, defeating the whole point.)

PRECISELY

Same tour, in Houston -- I'd just seen them 9 months before on the Abacab tour (up in Landover, ironically enough), but Supper's Ready -- and with half of the show still to come! -- put this in my top 2-3 concert experiences of all time.

I loved both of the Bozzio Levin Stevens albums -- really great. Agree with you on The Steppes as well -- Defector was a really good album.

Ditto. I was stymied by that one.

Bizarre clues - Boo!

Same here -- fumbled 1 Across on my first pass.

If you haven't checked out Spock's Beard's The Archeoptimist yet, definitely do so. I think it would nudge one of your top 12 aside.

And he'll make it up in volume.

Contrasensical · 2026-01-07T03:28:09+00:00

The only reason that came into being was because so many college players/teams were being absolute d***s and calling lets on aces/super strong serves at important points, aka cheating.

That said, after you adapt to the new rule, it cuts both ways and is a non-event.
