70's prog rock and Top Gear

[DinoB]

I don't know if any of you watch the show Top Gear, but I think it's awesome. I was watching a show today and it was the episode where they reviewed the BMW M5. The Stig did two track times. On the first one he was listening to Camel's Rhayader , and on the second one it was a Van der Graaf Generator (sp?) song which I wasn't familiar with. I don't know if any of you even care, but I thought it was pretty cool.

I think they also had an episode where they played some Pink Floyd songs when Nick Mason was in the show. I haven't seen it though, just read it somewhere.

I'm sure all of us know that Mason has raced in multiple races. And that he's an avid driver, so it makes sense to have him on the show.

That was a pretty good episode, good show which often has top taste in music.

They've used Sigur Rós aswell.

And Aphex Twin. Many a time I've heard them use Windowlicker.
