2012 – Erwartungen und Eindrücke

Onkel TomImmerhin. Bislang erfreulich wenig Neo Prog aber das wird sich noch ändern (fürchte ich mal).

Hömma!! Willst Du mich jetzt auch schon begrenzen?? Meine Ohren sind offen. Deine immer mehr zu tragen kommende Anti-Neo-Haltung scheint mir bedenklich. Gerade ist das Genre wieder gehörig im Aufwind. Frag den ollen Dengler…………………….;-)
