Absolutly! Tomita's Claire DeLune (sp) was one of the first 10 albums I
owned.

P.D.Q. Bach was a fantastic funny album.

Here I thought I was one of the few lunatics on this list that listened
to this kind of stuff. ;-}
Just goes to show how diverse musical tastes can be for people who don't
think "Green Day" is the best band in history ;-}
