        Actually it was originally an "Imaginative Rock" group covering
BOC/HW/Black Sabbath, Prog Rock, etc (back in the late 80s when you could
have a board topic like that and still get <30 messages a day).  It just
got narrowed to the two main groups based on the list members' (and
Steve Swann's) preferences.
