Not at all but I get why you ask. FWIW I find the earlier 'classic' albums dull. They hit a more upbeat accessible and textured approach from Stratosphere onwards. Force Majore is my personal favourite and almost Floydian. 80s stuff is new to me but loving it. Really makes my system work out (play it loud -it throbs as well as plinkity plonks along. Tangram and hyperboria are making me buzz at moment...Is all the Tangs stuff funereally paced?
I'd say that very few people who know him simply as a crooner know what a good drummer he is. And even fewer know that he's got a good feel for ternary rhythms (i.e. jazz-style drumming).Do you think lots of people, who know Collins, don't realise how good a drummer he was (I say is simply because he doesn't seem to be fit to play anymore - I'm bored shitless of the running Blue Moon gag)?
You should try Popol Vüh!Is all the Tangs stuff funereally paced?
best tune on the thread..I should issue a 2 day ban for that suggestion....
And not even prog rock!best tune on the thread..
Not sure if serious?I'd say that very few people who know him simply as a crooner know what a good drummer he is. And even fewer know that he's got a good feel for ternary rhythms (i.e. jazz-style drumming).
By the way, I don't know about the running gag. Do tell.

EggfuckinzacklyAnd not even prog rock!
Collins, as you say, was a brilliant drummer but that Gorilla could teach him a thing or two.Do you think lots of people, who know Collins, don't realise how good a drummer he was (I say is simply because he doesn't seem to be fit to play anymore - I'm bored shitless of the running Blue Moon gag)?
The box set of him playing with lots of different artists is well worth investigating.
Bought tickets to see Genesis reunion but can't imagine the rearranged gigs will happen in April so who knows if and when they will.
And not even prog rock!
Fish Rising ,great album... Saw Hillage at a small venue in Cambridge last year, maybe the year before , he was doing a couple of trial gigs.. Then he was going to play some bigger gigs... What a fantastic gig, brilliant,, did stuff just from that album, Green etc ,, just the good albumsSnow goose brings me back to the seventies round at a mates house. Up in his room in a large Victorian semi a bunch of us would gather maybe after the pub, a few joints, occasionally mushrooms or other psychedelics and he'd put on albums. So there would be Gong, Daevid Allen, Fish Rising from Hillage, Grateful Dead live Dark star). Maybe classed as more Hippie than prog. But offbeat prog albums would be Camel, Jade Warrior, Edgar Broughton (Oora), Soft Machine, Kevin Ayres. As well as the more obvious stuff. Saw Tractor at Deeply Vale free festival. Any other blues go?
You’ve been a member on here for 7 years yet still think Phil’s alive!Did indeed. I think I saw them about four times over the following twelve months. By putting RIP I presume you mean that what he did after Genesis was not very interesting?
Collins is a much better drummer technically than people in general know. Listen to his work with Eno, on Another Green World.
By the way, everybody only had eyes for Peter Gabriel, of course. I think everybody was wondering, where the fuck did this come from?
The Edgar Broughton Band are one of my favourite 'rare;' progressive rock bands.
IMO it's well worth trawling through their catalogue as they produced a plethora of sounds and there's one there for everyone.
Think I saw them in June. Or it might have been last December.I think it was Solstice who supported the Sex Pistols at the 1st Free Trade Hall gig.
Anyone recall them?
Wow, loved the first track .. I will have to look them up. Cheers
