   I can see the similarities but this applies to a lot of prog bands (start off raw but promising, rise to a peak, perhaps go a bit too far, then tail off). Didn't someone do a similar comparison with Yes and Genesis recently?

	Was thinking the other day, that these 2 bands had almost a parallel career to each other for the first few years. Their early albums stand side by side in stature, popularity and success and were released about the same time. - Let me explain below and apologies if anyone is offended by my comments on the 2 albums at the bottom of the list. This Was & Yes - Both a promising start - raw and energetic. Stand Up & Time and a Word - Improvement, still finding their feet Benefit & Yes Album - Sound has been defined - on their way Aqualung & Fragile - Firm favourites - well established. Thick as a Brick & Close to the Edge - Experimental peak, max success - generally the most popular. Passion Play & Tales From TO - It all just went too far. Any thoughts??
