Until very recently, this was a page containing fourteen reviews of albums from 1971-76, including

Jethro Tull, AQUALUNG ('71)
Led Zeppelin, IV ('71)
Andrew Lloyd-Webber, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR ('71)
Soft Machine, VIRTUALLY('71)
Yes, THE YES ALBUM ('71)
Gentle Giant, THREE FRIENDS ('72)
Yes, FRAGILE ('72)
Slapp Happy, CASABLANCA MOON ('74)
Slapp Happy, DESPERATE STRAIGHTS ('75)
Crack The Sky, S/T ('75)
Crack The Sky, ANIMAL NOTES ('76)
Area, ARE(A)ZIONE ('76)
Jon Anderson, OLIAS OF SUNHILLOW ('76)
Patrick Moraz, i ('76)

It was easily one of my very best-written pages, one naturally coalescing (due to my tastes) around an examination (and to some degree, indignant defense) of progressive rock: its musical principles, its motivations, where its boundaries were and weren't. Then one day I created a page to be entitled "noncredo.htm". I saved it. Geocities somehow decided to save it under the name "1971.htm"-- even though, had I _chosen_ to name the new file that, it would have asked me "do you want to replace the earlier file with this name?" and I would have said no. Either way, 7000 words of writing gone, kaput. Has this happened to anyone else, that you know of? Ever?

But you know, those _are_ good albums. How 'bout y'all go buy them anyway, okay--- some of them are obtainable through Wayside Music if other means fail. Help make this loss one of those sacrifice in a noble cause thingies. Y'know?
