This is a quiz.

Please choose the answer you think is the right answer, and write it in the message. 

You can get to the answer by "ear" or for your knowledge, or you can choose at random. 

It doesn't matter, it's a game. 

However, write the answer you choose in the message. 

Ah, I forgot, if you are sure you know the answer, please don't say: Guys, I know the answer, trust me, it's this: because the game would end immediately

We are here for fun.

Congratulations on being possibly the first quizmaster on Prog Archives. This idea could catch on. It's a pity I haven't a clue what the answer to the question is though. Smile

I'm guessing King Crimson but I don't know for sure.

Probably Led Zeppelin. Collins was using mallets on his drums during that song.

I'll go with 21st Century Schizoid Man, but I admit I'm just taking a guess.

Yeah, this seems like the obvious answer.

But I'll guess the Beatles, because why not.

No idea. Maybe it has been written in Armando Gallo's book, I don't remember, but I have not looked up anything yet. I pick Van der Graaf Generator since the bands are related in a way: they were both on the Charisma label.

Barbarian. Do you think Phil would have even heard Starship Trooper yet? I know it was the same year, but I suppose it could have come out earlier than when they were writing for NC.

^ Collins had massive respect for The Beatles and Ringo so that's also my thinking. I can't imagine he cared about ELP or King Crimson for one second.

I don't know this one, but I do know they were all high AF on The Mahavishnu orchestra by the time Foxtrot/SEBTP was put into production.

I think most bands were in 1972 TBH!

I guess Helter Skelter, because the Beatles influenced loads of people. (What kind of argument is that??)
Seriously, my best guess. Although I find The Kettle a very charming proposal.

Gave the only vote to Family, just to spread votes. I didn't re-listen to it first to find out if it's even remotely similar.

My guess is The Barbarian, the speedy drumming that you find on it is quite similar on this middle section of TMB. And I guess Palmer was someone Collins would follow at that time.

Ok, when all the 15 nominations will be voted, I'll reveal the answer. 

The winner will get the drums that Phill Collins played in 1971 for The Musical Box!
