I'm not a fan of the old ``progessive'' rock scene by any stretch of the imagination, but I remember listening to the very first Genesis album. Although derivative from the music of other groups back then (most notably the Beatles and the Moody Blues), it had some stuff going for it. First, Peter Gabriel's words were quite good. They could be considered ``poetic'' and ``flowery,'' good things to be back in 1968, but there was also evidence of a creative, almost warped genius behind those words. Also, Anthony Phillips' guitar work was some of the best acoustic guitar I heard in a rock context. Did you know that Phil Collins has recorded for Linn ? Now you can a chip that plugs into the Linn Drum Computer and sounds like like Phil. ``Bob'' Robert P. Krajewski ARPA: RpK@MC UUCP: ...!mitvax!rpk ...!mitccc!rpk
