Recommend me some early Genesis

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The Bruford, Cross, Fripp, Wetton line-up of King Crimson was one of the most oustanding and fearsome rock beasts that ever strode this planet!

Prog rock is not so bad. There were some amazing sounds and genuine experimentation going on. The majority of punks did not dislike prog, and actively respected bands like Hawkwind, King Crimson and VDGG who stuck to their guns and did their own thing with honesty and integrity.

You shouldn't be so quick to dismiss it, cos you'll miss out on a lot of genuinely great stuff!

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I once recorded from radio a live performance of Lamb, which blew me away. Must have a look in the basement, and then find a tape recorder. On occasion I still listen to Gabriel's first four solo albums, some fine songs indeed. :)
