great classic rock, most people don't even know it's "Argent". they had all those other great songs.
keyboard solo is some classic FM.

Yep, heard this song a million times. Never knew it was Argent. Used to think it was Yes.

Been familiar with it and knew the band for at least 25 years.
Move this to the "Overplayed" thread.

Huh?
If the Portland music scene can be defined by anything, it would be the opposite of "kitsch" (unless you're using a definition I'm not familiar with).
The word "innovation" comes to mind.

seriously? no way. you are the coffee suppers and fixed gear riders in Boulder..........it is kitsch. i saw the minutemen, saccharine trust, suicidal tendencies, husker du, sonic youth in the early 80's. flaming lips, meat pups....but you think, continually, that shit bands like the Decembrists make your takes indie allsome? truth is you are 2nd gen lame about real music. like Portland is, except for lesbo acoustic stuff. i give you the leading edge, there.
please. you are so cool, that you are going to rip on Argent?
and even dumber is that you don't think "kitsch" isn't part of the Portland chic...

without the vitriol of crimson, gotta agree that kitsch is part of the NW indie scene. the scene is old so it was bound to happen.

Gee, here I was thinking that things are continuing to evolve, and just keeps changing and changing all the time.
