Funniest review ever:

• GENESIS "Selling England By The Pound"
  Review (Permanent link) by drain-o
  Posted 12:58:25 PM EST, 2/1/2006
  
     I think that selling England by book is very marvellous. It is not as good as foxtrot and of the crimes of seedbed, but it is always one of best of all the hour, in the top of the twenty-five things. I like to listen it by eating pizza pie with a table of picnic. Gabriel has its voice to do a nice work and the load of lyric impresses me much. I cannot guarantee the goods which you can appreciate, but it is livable. It starts with a slow beginning but rises with the power and energy and I like the fast movement. It trails then to the bottom with a slow obliteration. It is like the effect Doppler of a train here and then going far. I know that what I like in your garde-robe is ordered with the lawn mower and the speech parts about the trousers and of the potato gardens. It is a piece of music very pleasant completion of interesting toothpaste and was one of them are the first blows. The fifth of the fifth is the best song on the album. The elegant banks makes a fantastic creation of the keyboards and the marvellous solo by Steve Hackett on the guitar has me flight with eggs and bird's nests. More imbecile I is right empty spaces. But it becomes better when we go to the battle of the forest of Epping, a walking piece of historical substance. It becomes complicated and I like times of signature everywhere. Rutherford makes low nice. The second best song is last of this seminal progressive work, the exposure of cinema. It beats me foolish with its astonishing keyboard by elegant Banks and Phil Collins eats its drums. With my ears, it is my best memory and with the fifth of the fifth. The genesis would not have another album as this always still as the lamb is downwards on Broadway would miss senselessness soup and passing by again logicians of council. An incredibly important work of progressive rock in the worlds and deserves holds five us the first role that all likes to see.--JB

Where's my recognition for my liking of Adrian Belew?

I made it in 3 categories.

I would like to thank the members of the academy,my wife and children,all my friends on PA & the Big Guy upstairs,without whom none of this would be possible(and I am not referring to Tony R )

Nice list Ansen,but Cyggie ought to go in the fanboy category for Zappa,Rush,or at least Belew.

I see, I edited

It's the inner sleeve to Belew's Twang Bar King album (one of his best album covers).

Does he do the artwork himself for that one like he did for Side One and Side Two?

Ahhhh...nice artwork
