Such a superb oddity of an album.

@stewblack would like ½ a set please Ped.

That's going to make a beautiful fingerboard.

I'm in for two sets please.

I'm in.

I wear my BC lanyard when I’m cooking sometimes. That is all.

Mmmmm, right on.

Very much so, including my favourite reggae track...

Derek Forbes, I always think of him as the absolute foundation of the excellent early Simple Minds. To me, the pinnacle of the band’s output is Empires and Dance, perhaps the darkest, coldest album ever made, which is why it’s my second favourite album of all time. It’s the perfect counterpoint to my top album of all time Metal Box by PiL altogether more organic and earthier yet still cold lyrically. Anyway, Empires and Dance, cold, mechanical and archly European, superb...

I understand this totally, I think it's the stuff you heard first that sticks. I was so gutted when Gabriel left I wouldn't listen to A Trick Of The Tail and I still haven't listened to it (or any other post-Gabriel Genesis album) since.

Sorry I should have been more specific, the first eight tracks of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway are my favourite prog tracks of all time.

It's most certainly too late for me when it comes to Rush. Fragile and Relayer are my top Yes albums but The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is my favourite prog album of all time.

I love (Peter Gabriel era) Genesis but you can't beat Yes for baroque nonsense. I have yet to knowingly hear a track by Rush. I have no doubt it was an anomaly of my particular teens but every single person that i knew who liked Rush was a knob, which no doubt was a big part of the reason I avoided them, almost certainly unfairly.

Stick this in your pipe and smoke it...

You are welcome to try mine out Sir.

Sorry but no thread like this should be without...

Whereabouts are you @akabane?

Where are you?
