Still think that 'Nursery Cryme' and 'Selling England' are the greatest prog rock albums. I've been priviliged enough to see Genesis 8 times (never with Peter though - but we live in hope). First time was in '78 @ Knebworth. Was also the first concert I'd been to. Blew me away and once I'd heard 'The Cinema Show' I was hooked for life - there was never going to be any turning back for me then! Marrillion's 'Script for a Jester's tear' was a great album (reminiscent, for me, of Nursery Cryme) and I had high hopes for them but IMO it all went downhill from there. Led Zep still seem omnipresent and as popular as ever their music seems to be constantly 'cropping up', particularly the awesome 'Kashmir'. Managed to see them twice in 79 at Knebworth. Interestingly, I like all types of music and I recently bought Stevie Wonder's 'Songs in the key of life'. My 17 year old son asked why SW was covering Coolio's 'Ganster's Paradise'. Had to point out to him that SW wrote and recorded it, probably before Coolio was even born! This probably now qualifies me as an old fart!<br />Keep on Rockinggenesisfreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425019595090962261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-69530104775923162792009-06-16T19:57:29.742-04:002009-06-16T19:57:29.742-04:00My friend, i am a fan of Genesis since 1974, but n...My friend, i am a fan of Genesis since 1974, but never can see one concert of him, it's very difficult, i live in Argentina, but i love this band, and other bands wich Jethro Tull, Camel, Rush, Gentle Giant, Yes, and solo Peter career.Sorry for my bad english, adios amigo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10155420.post-48596711132608726642009-04-10T12:29:00.000-04:002009-04-10T12:29:00.000-04:00I have been on vacation and am catching up on my b...I have been on vacation and am catching up on my blog reading.
