Rush. Hee. I can see that. Maybe Dream Theater too.

But in Hagrid's case, it would come out sounding more like the 
Pogues. Or *very* drunk early Fairport Convention.

At least you're off the 20th-century Vienna stuff. I'm very fond of 
that, and not at all Snapish, nope, not me.....*uh oh.* I think 
Skinny Puppy and NIne Inch Nails are *far* too teenybopper-goth for 
him, and I can't imagine him keeping up with Muggle trends that much. 
Pistols and Damned, if he was young and in London circa '76-77, 
definitely. Joy Division for sure. I could see Throbbing Gristle, 
early Einsturzende Neubauten, and Swans for sure - that's early/mid-
80s stuff. THough by now at nearly 40, he probably would have gone on 
to really sophisticated, scary stuff. Not so much Schoenberg - he's a 
bit mellow - as Stockhausen and Xenakis.

(sigh....maybe I am.)
