"simian" rock/pop songs?-a survey
the album "unfinished monkey business" by ian brown of the stone roses. (lousy album for the most part, with a few really good songs)then, on his next and far superior album, "golden greats," there is "dolphins were monkeys."great, strange song.

Anyone using Powered center/surround speaker??
