9) All those wonderful hours of debating whether Keith Emerson is better than Rick Wakeman.

8) If by some bizarre twist of nature you somehow manage to see your favourite album on a jukebox somewhere, you can get an entire half-hour of music out of one quarter.

7) You can amuse your friends and neighbours with pithy witticisms like "One cannot achieve the aim without suffering", "mountains come out of the sky and stand there", and "Phil Collins sucks!"

6) Sex is really overrated anyway.

5) You can type your messages to rec.music.progressive in 9/8!

4) The feeling of superiority you get when your mechanic can't tell you what other band Mike played in.
