Bo Rap, has there been any other group to compose a song like this?

it's odd that you know you don't like it - even tho you've never heard it, and have no intention of listening to it. i'm happy for you that you are content within your own small "listening universe"
i'd respect your comments if you'd said that you have heard the album and hate it, but at least you've opted not to argue about it.

if you get time give the DP and Manfred Mann albums a listen - you may be surprised

You see, just because I don't fancy listening to DP, you immediately brand my "listening universe" as small. That's why I don't want to go any further into this.

I guess BR is in a category all its own, as in a rock, opera tragedy.

I was thinking the closest I have heard to rock, and opera mixed was David Bowie's, "Warszawa".

Which is operatic, but not a operatic tragedy like BR.

And, of course Klaus Nomi who didn't write anything [that I know of], but did mix rock, and opera into one, different class of music. Klaus was working on an opera

which was not finished before he died, called, "Za Bak Daz", for which the song Valentines day was recorded.........

I thought this was interesting. I was doing a bit of karaoke to BR, and two words caught my attention.

Of course when we sing to the radio we often never fully know, or can understand the words of what we are singing. With karaoke we can actually see the words which was the reason for this reply.

First word........Scaramouche as in "scaramouche, scaramouche, can you do the fandango".

Which means: " a roguish clown character of the Italian commedia dell'arte who wears a black mask and, sometimes, glasses."

The other word: Bismillah. As in "Bismillah, let him go, Bismillah, let him go".

Which means. "It is sometimes translated as "In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful".

So now you know.
