Prog Appreciation Thread (pink floyd, quote, bands, Hang)

I'm seriously getting back into early 70's Genesis starting with Foxtrot, Genesis Live, Selling England, TLLDOB, and even Trick of the Tail. It's shocking to hear Phil Collins play drums he's so fookin good. They could play light and melodic or complex and nasty as hell.

Yeah, his solo on "Dance on a volcano" is just something else! Early Genesis certainly beats later, more toned-down/poppy one, but I'd have to say THE best years were with Gabriel (though they did some great stuff even after that) --- look at Foxtrot, Nursery cryme, the Lamb ... says it all really!
