What’s your biggest gripe with the top 100

Aye, but next mosh will be getting his astrology mixed up with astronomy, easy for post modernists who class both the same anyway with more credence given to the former...naturally😎

Interesting, I told that astronomy astrology anecdote in the boxes thread without looking at this topic which relates to the same thing. It's like the stars aligned or something. Excuse me if I repeat it here:

[Regarding Psychics and Psychologists]

l'm reminded of a story I heard on the radio relayed by an astronomer. This anecdote is to the best of my recollection with some embellishment, no doubt. He was at some sort of function and was approached by a seemingly wealthy Texan. The Texan asked, "What do you do? I'm in oil." The astronomer replied, "I'm the Astronomer Royal". The Texan replied, "Really, wow, so you tell the Queen her fortune? That's fascinating. Hey, got any predictions for me?" The astronomer replied, "Oil prices will continue to fluctuate over time". The Texan looked unimpressed. Feeling awkward, the astronomer said, "You might have misheard me, I'm the Astronomer Royal, not the Astrologer Royal, but we also make predictions... using astronomical data". "Oh, "said the Texan, "All right then", and walked off. I wondered if the Texan was joking and the astronomer didn't get the joke, or, well, I could see that being an easy mistake to make, especially in a crowded room. Royal Astrologer does have a historical ring to it.

My biggest issue is trying to find some titles and find they are out of print or they are asking an exorbitant price for them. Would be nice if they would just offer flac downloads or if there was a way to share some of these titles that are out of print legally...

Aye...im listening to foxtrot now...DSOTM not prog anyway....AOR is it skywalker...

DSOTM is in the same category as Boston, Styx, Asia, Foreigner??? I don’t think so.^^^

This is the best song in the world. it is so good i think it should be the UN's national anthem. I think that Phil Collins should be put as the world Leader because if a man can make a masterpiece like Who Dunnit then he can lead the world in politics. All other forms of media should be destroyed because they distract us from the glorious song that is Who Dunnit.  Hail Who Dunnit, Hail glorious comrade Phil Collins,Hail Who Dunnit, Hail glorious comrade Phil Collins,Hail Who Dunnit, Hail glorious comrade Phil Collins, Hail Who Dunnit, Hail glorious comrade Phil Collins,Hail Who Dunnit, Hail glorious comrade Phil Collins,Hail Who Dunnit, Hail glorious comrade Phil Collins,  J.K or am I Are you one of those listeners that still believes that Phil ruined Genesis, that he is solely to blame for Genesis going pop? If you watch Genesis interviews, you'll see that Rutherford was the first one to be tired of doing progressive, long songs, after all his tearjerker ballad Your Own Special Way is the first proof.  If you look at the song writing credits for Abacab, Collins wrote only one song - Man on the Corner.  Banks - Me and Sarah Jane and Rutherford - Like It or Not. All the other songs are all three of them.  Whodunnit was meant to be a joke, was put on the album as joke, and it started with Banks goofing on the syhths. In the end, it was Banks idea to keep it and put it on the album, instead of You Might Recall. He admits it himself. What has always puzzled me is that they rejected some songs, or used as B-sides that were much better than some of the songs on the album, just listen to the 1976-1992 archives compilation (for example Submarine, You Might Recall, Naminanu).
