What do you think of Tubular Bells as a piece of art?

Probably not much, but it's been a while since I've immersed myself in that genre in that era, so I'm not sure.

Sister Ray was a Billboard Top 100 hit? Wow, never saw that one coming.

Yes, although something tells me Luke doesn't just enjoy that one in moderation (:

True, dat.
