SR IV: This is the end, my only friend, the end.

I only heard Close to the Edge a few years back and I still have never heard a Genesis album in full. 

Wobbler's Hinterland is rather interesting.  I don't know how it would sit with me now... I've not heard it for ages (like from before the time I got into all that evil avant-prog stuff that everyone hates me for listening to).

No one hates you for that.

This explains a lot regarding out headbutting.

Hate is too strong a word...

Animosity is better.

Seriously, I feel like those proggers that Rick Wakeman talks about from the 1970s.  I feel like a dirty old man who likes that "peculiar music".

I watched Gabriel's Growing Up DVD this weekend, and it is quite enjoyable.  The music is good, and he does a lot of things on stage to entertain the crowd.  His daughter sings with him also.  And of course he has a pretty decent bass player playing with him.

But even that was good compared to Phil Collins solo... Yeah, I don't care for that song with Gabriel either. Though all of Peter Gabriel's albums as entire pieces are actually pretty good, with the exception of 2/Scratch. Gilmour sings backing vocals on that song I mentioned, "Pull Out the Pin"... His voice is quite recognisable. Alex, I agree with you about PG's second album - it's dull throughout. My favs from him are IV/Security and Up. I saw him live in London when he was promoting Security (1983), and the show was simply amazing.

Great picks.

My favorite is probably 3/Melt, but it could easily be several others too. Up was my favorite for a while; it still may be.

I am a musician and I hope you rot.

I cannot explain why these guys don't seem to bond with me... musically speaking we're into the same sort of stuff.
