this topic is kind of surreal.
I mostly post in the Music Forum, so I never saw this topic, but noticed JustJen post, just seeing her name feels like a total blast from the past.
As far as Violent Green, I knew him on dt.net, here, 5/8, and rateyourmusic. I didn't know him as well as others, but did well enough to always respect his opinions and taste. I guess I always thought of him like myself and Jen as Marillion fanatics, especially in the early days. I know he later got incredibly passionate about a lot of other music (as many of us), 1 band being King Crimson. I recall his guide to their discography on rateyourmusic was on the Front Page, maybe more than once.
I must admit though, when I'm on rateyourmusic now, I look at certain album ratings from friends, and whenever I see his name pop up it stands out. I kind of feel if he even rated it (whether high or low), it had me curious to check out (for music I had not).
