Also : only from the genres: prog, psych,heavy/hard,pop,popsike. NO country, crooner-shit, soundtracks. You can use lp titles. Also ,in brackets, please indicate source (artist). Here goes then: CLOUDS and CLOWNS (Hoelderlin) (You must build-off either the words “clouds” or “clowns”. In this case must be plural. For instance, Clown (The Flock) would not be accepted. ---
