Here's some bands. If you haven't heard them, check them out!


The Beatles started it all. If you haven't listened to their music then you should do so right now.

Pink Floyd is the archetypal psychedelic rock band who picked up where the Beatles left off in defining new boundaries of music and perfected an ambient, ethereal sound that set them well apart from their imitators.

The Moody Blues were the only band who could consistently pull off happy or positive songs, sing about love and peace and the universe and still be taken perfectly seriously while doing so. Theirs was the first successful meshing of rock and orchestral music.

Procol Harum is a musician's band. Most people haven't heard of them except perhaps recognizing A Whiter Shade of Pale. Grounded in straight blues, Procol Harum exerimented with some incredible harmonic progressions and penned some of the most fascinating music this side of King Crimson.

XTC started out as a punk band in the late 1970s and has matured into one of the most intellectual and inspired bands still making music today.

King Crimson is the definitive avant garde band from the 1970s. Each musician a prodigy, the sheer complexity of their music is staggering - one never tires of this music, provided they are able to get into it in the first place.

Robyn Hitchcock - Fegmania, is a page maintained by a friend of mine from college, Rob Woiccak. Robyn Hitchcock has all the brains and humor of They Might Be Giants while still maintaining respectability.

Thomas Dolby is the master of high-tech, perfectly recorded, impeccably engineered electronic rock music. His music is a pure joy to listen to, largely because of how diverse and animated it is.

David Bowie had enough of a gimmick to convince people to listen to him, but it's his raw songwriting skill that kept those fans listening and propelled a 20+ year career of superstardom.

Phish is a quartet out of Vermont and are the purveyors of some of the finest musicianship available today. Their incredible following of 'Phish heads' attest to the wonderful songs and stories they are capable of, and their musical abilities are simply unrivaled in modern rock.

Parsec is a progressive rock band from Albany, New York whom Trout works with closely. They, too, have a new CD called Visions and Trout snuck in on a few songs (Shh! Don't tell!)

The People's Front of Judea is a Death-Core band near Detroit with an attitude and (believe it or not) a guy named Brian. Go check them out.


Here are some other web pages you should see to round out this experience.

The Neurology Residency Program at Hartford Hospital and the University of Connecticut Health Center employs John Rescigno. John also designed and wrote the web page.

TinyTIM is the oldest MUSH in the entire universe, and John is the co-creator.

COWZ is where John's friend Jason has been put out to pasture. This page is a must-see for its artistic design.

OtherMUSH is the other game that John created. The web page for this game was John's first web page. Much of the content is very unusual.

TrippyMUSH is yet another very cool MUSH. What's a MUSH, you say? Well, um, you should go find out!

Ben Henry is a friend of Trout's from college and is also the Very Nice Person who converted everything into .mp3 and .ram formats. Hip, hip, hooray!
