I grew up in southern Idaho, and some of my friends in the late 70s had “2112” (and in the early 80s, “Moving Pictures.”) So through them, I had heard some of those songs, just didn’t recognize them until I was older. (Again, I didn’t own the albums, so no reference for who was whom, not The Who)

The whole album is good, but the stretch on the B side is outstanding. Territories is a dance bop, with an amazing message about the futility of borders. Middletown Dreams is three simple vignettes about people shifting through life phases. Emotion Detector has a guitar solo to make you cry.

My cousin made me a cassette, that was the Miami Vice Soundtrack on one side, and Power Windows on the other. I had heard of Rush (even early,) but didn’t have lyrics or even a track listing. I just knew that I liked the flow of those songs.

The Prisoner was a gem, and it should have been allowed to stay in its own pocket

Gonna double down on this: I don't care how convoluted the answer was, there shouldn't have been one. If you really want to know what The Prisoner is about, just watch Fall Out so Patrick McGoohan can make fun of you for questioning him.

You are up to date.
