"LP" You mean there's actually a group left that releases on vinyl?[edit]

Is it ONLY on LP, or is LP an option alongside CD and/or audiocasette.

In this context LP means "long play" or according to that page "A long play album is a music album that is considered a whole, often nearing an hour in total length. Compare EP, which is longer than a single but shorter than an LP." Just a fancy word for a full-length album. Hmm. 69.85.180.47 09:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Also, groups still put out vinyl all the time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_record#Current_status 173.110.47.190 (talk) 20:32, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First paragraph's reference to genre[edit]

It can't be said that they draw influence from emo? Bullshit! I love the band, but they're within that scene and express so many similarities and influences to the scene. Its a scene more than a genre but it is still a genre and their music expresses so many similarities to the genre, making it a total denial to not include that in the long list of genre influences that are included in the article. I'm going to add it, if anyone disagrees, do it here please. Leopold Stotch 06:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Band Name[edit]

I know the page says the band is "Gatsbys American Dream [sic]" but is it really Gatsbys and not Gatsby's? I have the album Gatsbys American Dream, and the artist is labeled as Gatsby's and the album is Gatsbys John R S 20:12, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They were pretty inconsistent with how they used the apostrophe, but I believe didn't use it more often than not (i.e. there are more things out there that say Gatsbys and not Gatsby's). Tdogg241 23:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural references[edit]

I believe there are more cultural references made by the band that are interesting and should be included here. Specifically, the song "The White Mountains" as a reference to the 1967 book by John Christopher (Samuel Youd) and the rest of the Tripod series. 66.241.91.158 (talk) 03:36, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly, it should probably be noted that "Ticktockman" is a reference to the Harlan Ellison short story "'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman." 173.110.47.190 (talk) 20:22, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would someone find a better source for this...[edit]

http://snickerattheswine.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bobgatsby#Bob_on..._Genre

The page has a direct quote from Bobby Darling about the original Gatsby lineup that mentions a bassist named Josh Berg, but I can't find it on a "reliable" source, help me out?

Genres[edit]

I'm trying to find sources to include progressive or math rock in the genre list so that Gatsby isn't simply called "indie". Does this seem reliable?

Prog rock[edit]

I don't think they should be labeled emo. Also. They are very prog rock. They have a lot of time signature changes, and they sing a lot about fantasy topics. Could someone add the prog rock label to them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.168.183.96 (talk) 00:21, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
