^Funny you should post that Paul - my next mission is to make an assault on the APP catalogue, as I've mostly overlooked it for various reasons.

All of their albums are well-worth a listen, apart from "The Sicilian Defence", which I haven't included, even though I'm a chess player. Smile

Coming up next..... a bird in the hand, is worth two in the Bush. Wink

As ever when I'm exploring an artist I'll start with their first release and progress chronologically - tho I tend to bear in mind that debut releases* aren't always a reliable indicator of things to come.

[*See: Yes, Genesis.]

I always like to listen to an artist's albums in chronological order too. At one time, "From Genesis to Revelation" was my favourite Genesis album (yes, seriously!). although not any more, but in the case of The Alan Parsons Project, their debut album really IS their best album, in my opinion anyway.

Well I first got into Genesis way back in high school days from Trespass onwards, eagerly awaiting each new release. Their debut was impossible to find even then (the joke was that most of the original pressed copies must have been in Jonathon King's garage), so I only discovered it more recently now we are in the era of re-releases (especially long lost stuff).

I was a relative latecomer to Genesis, not having acquired a taste for them until 2010 when I first heard their albums online, and I've since bought their first nine albums on CD, and on the subject of Acquiring the Taste, I'm still nor a fan of Gentle Giant. Smile

I have to declare that they are one of three bands beloved of many prog fans on here that I just cannot get into, however much I try. The others being Gong, and VDGG.

I became a convert to Gong after listening to all 57 varieties of their albums recently, with "Downwind" (1979) by Pierre Moerlen's Gong being my 5-star favourite. Thumbs Up

^However I do adore Gilli Smyth's albums 'Mother' (1978) and 'Fairy Tales' (1979) - the latter as Mother Gong.  Tho why 'Mother' is not listed here in the archives is a bit of a mystery.
