In defence of his recent release, he attacked a lot of proggers with his head clearly up his arse. His sudden assertion that he loves abba and sl*g. off genesis (except solo gabriel stuff) he should remember one thing...people close their eyes and listen attentively to symphonic prog (example) they don't fookin dance round their handbag to it do they.....as usual he is comparing apples to oranges...

What interview? There are a lot of them on YT recently.............His love of ABBA is not sudden. If he once liked Genesis (or any other band for that matter), why is it negative that he does not like them now? Is he not allowed to change his mind or like something different??

Just asking.......

Don't let it bug you Jose. I don't think that we're going to see the OP again for a while. He's posted 800 times since 2004!

I dont really mind what he says or what he's into these days.. he's as entitled to like what he he likes and make the music he does as we are to listen and buy it... or not..

Dont worry, give it a few years and he'll grow his hair longer again (it'll be properly grey by then), wear tie-dye T shirts and say how great early Pink Floyd and 60's Psychedelia is...

It does not bother me, other than if the comment was coming from the view of a "prog only music" perspective. Like "how dare he like ABBA or Prince and dis Genesis!!"

I like what SW has been doing lately so no skin off my back...

And if Wilson had said..I want more money so I am producing commercial music hoping that some of that money that fills abba's pockets can now fill mine...fair enough...but don't pretend that it's the music you admire most...if raven had sold two hundred million copies he would have done raven II with a song called "up yours benny" on it...🖖

Who cares if he likes Abba? I don't get the issue here.
And how do you know how people listen/move to symphonic prog?

I've danced around to a Gentle Giant song lol. And yes I also like Abba, is all of that illegal in the prog realm or something??

his commercial music isn't going anywhere---Peter G got lucky with one album and it was fantastic ---he needs to stop listening and worrying about other peoples music (which his music very often sounds like)  and make what he wants to make--but it isn't commercial...and it won't have an effect on the music industry like Genesis-Abba and PG did.

He disses Genesis? Then why did he do his a Genesis track with Hackett, as well as he has worked on a few other songs with him. And I remember, I think it is Drive Home, that has sounds very similar to Genesis at parts.

The woman he recently married probably hates prog and is no doubt an influence on his recent pop direction and insulting prog and prog fans. Maybe.

Nobody can ruin prog, but trust me I know exactly your sentiment here.

Wilson continues to prove all my assumptions about his personality correct, without fail.

His new music sucks and I think it's a perfect, and logical, reflection of his attitude TBQH.

I have no problem with what he's saying. Neither do I have a problem with the direction he is taking. If only the album was better... Unhappy

Have you heard the interview? He's basically saying the opposite. He pisses off some of his old fanbase by actually doing what he wants to do. He also says (not 100% sure whether that's true) that his prog albums catering for those fans were commercially most successful. Sure he cares about other people's music but this is because he is a music lover, and I think he is genuine. This doesn't make me appreciate his last few albums more though, but that's personal on my behalf. I surely buy that he is authentic about what he's doing, I mean as authentic as a guy like him can be.

Actually, this is a take off of some loony's thread on the Progressive Ears web forum titled "Phil Collins Ruined Prog". I'm afraid that this thread is as silly and uselessly negative as that one was.
