You don't know very much about Pink Floyd, I suggest some of the stuff before DSOTM, any album will do. But you obviously don't know anything about them if you think the keybord player is a muppet, (what is that supposed to mean about how he plays musically anyway?), and you think the guitar player plays the same solo, I guess you don't know what a playing style is either if you think he is exactly the same everytime.

I guess your just another prog snob that needs music to have virtuoso players in it if you want to enjoy it, a very shallow and ingnorant way to view music. Just because a song isn't prog doesn't mean it is bad, so what if Floyd arn't in the same class as those other two bands, does that mean they arn't enjoyable. Try listening to more than one album before you judge a band.

Aw...man...not another prog snob!

Absolutely. That's why my vote goes to Genesis.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

 Amen, I can find so much in each album that I like, weather it is more prog than Yes or Genesis doesn't matter, the music is beautiful.

I voted Genesis, cause Phil's drumming is great.  He's quite dexterous and technical; maybe Peart got something out of him.

I prefer Bands like Jethro Tull,Gentle Giant,King Crimson or Zappa but the early Genesis is the best from the list in my opinion.

Quote only used Genesis as an example,the same could easily apply to YES!!

ATTWT,Duke,Abacab,3Sides are "below average" at best and you are not having Archive!
That leaves 10, the rest 10 so 50%!Big smile

Not even as an example Reed, you know I'm a critic of Collins Genesis, but to be honest Ribbish is only the smaller part, to value a career you must only care for studio albums, or even Live albums, but not compilations:

Great albums and/or Masterpieces:

  1. Trespass
  2. Nursery Cryme
  3. Foxtrot
  4. SEBTP
  5. Live
  6. The Lamb
  7. ATOTT
  8. W&W
  9. Seconds Out
  10. Spot the Pigeon
  11. Archives I

Not so bad, still good moments

  1. From Genesis to Revelations
  2. ATTW3
  3. Duke
  4. 3 Sides Live
  5. Archives II

Talk whatever you want about these

  1. Abacrap (Sorry Abacab)
  2. Shapes (Refuse to call that thing Genesis)
  3. Invissible Touch
  4. We Can't Sing, Dance or whatever
  5. ATTW2 (CAS)

So, from 20 releases we're talking about

50% Masterpieces or near to be called masterpieces (10 Albums)

25% Good albums or at least average (5 albums)

25% Whatever you want (5 albums)

Your percentages are a bit mistaken

Hello Fragile

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Fragile

Please indicate which particular bit of my little 'Live comentary' on the tracks mentioned that tickled you the most?

It was an honest, reflection of what came into my mind as I listened! Why don't you do the same for 'and you and I' and I could then have some sort of idea what goes thru your mind when you listen to it?
