With the current price of a barrel of oil, coupled with the political unrest in the Middle East, it would seem that producing alternative means of fuel would be a widely accepted concept, embraced by both consumers and government alike.

I was always under the impression that YES, whose popularity peaked in the seventies, was the most creative and uniquely sounding band from that time period.

Of all the days in the calendar year to be one’s favorite – birthday, anniversary, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas - just to name a few, New Year’s Day remains the most desired and the most anticipated day of the entire year, for many.
