I mean, I like Britney though, she's a good pop singer.
There's a song for every occasion, although I prefer the Bobby Brown version of "My Prerogative" Smile

Listen to the rest if you are curious. 

I haven't listened to his last three albums though, classical compositions I believe, nor do I plan to anytime soon. 
Tony Banks' classical compositions are a must-listen too, but only if you like classical compositions. Smile

If I want to listen to classical compositions, i go elsewhere. 
That's your prerogative. Wink

I was listening to Tony Banks' three superb classical albums and I couldn't help thinking, if only he'd recorded music like that with Genesis in the 1980's & 90's. Smile
Because it wouldn't have fit in with the sort of music that Phil Collins was doing. I think Tony Banks lost more than the others when Peter Gabriel left the band as those two wrote a lot of music together.

Tony Banks' first album is really the only one worth having, unless you enjoy his three classical albums too, as I do. Smile
