It's just the studio albums, but all in nice digipaks with an exclusive "rarities" CD and big biography, one very cool Christmas present.  Hmm... sounds interesting. I still have absolutely no idea what I want for Christmas, and my dad keeps asking because he hates waiting last minute.

I remember the year I told my parents I was really getting into Genesis.

I got Phil Collins's Finally- The First Farewell Tour DVD.

I haven't watched it yet.

My shoes are custom made in Italy...and I go through about 4 pairs a year

guys!

Thankfully, my dad was the one who got me into Rush, Kansas, Yes, Supertramp, Genesis, Styx, etc. so he knows my taste decently well. It's the most obscure stuff he doesn't know as well, but that's understandable.

Well, see- my dad got me into prog rock.  He just doesn't know it.

See, he used to play "Dust in the Wind" on the guitar when I was growing up.  He told me it was by a band named Kansas.  I thought it was a pretty folk song, and one day I bought the CBS release, The Best of Kansas (the old one).

That's when I heard some really weird crap.

A year or so later, my friend loaned me his Live at the Whiskey CD because I mentioned I kind of liked Kansas.  That was when I heard "Miracles Out of Nowhere."  Thence did my progressive rock love begin.

Long time no see! How are you, Mike?

My wife yells at me for shoes and glasses.
I've had two pairs of glasses in the past fifteen years.

That's neat.

I still remember the day I fell in love with music. I had just turned 13 and my dad kept insisting that I hear some Rush because I was starting to get into listening to music (they are still his favorite band ever). He pulled out the only ones he had on the computer at the time which were Signals, HYF, GUP, and Power Windows. I listened to two tracks, they didn't catch me right away... and I decided to give one more a chance. So I went with "Red Sector A". And that's what got me interested in hearing more Rush, believe it or not, though not immediately. I just remember thinking about the song the next day and I was intrigued. That's when I was researching, saw that he had uploaded 2112 for me, and when I saw that there was a 20 minute track I couldn't believe it. That opened the door, pretty much. I listened to nothing but Rush for 5 months.
