Every single thing Phil Collins has even been near in his entire life.
Genesis were fucking RUBBISH. 'Easy Lover' is probably the best song he did - and that's shit.

Even the early prog years under Peter Gabriel?

They were discovered by Jonathan 'I'm not a nonce' King.
I think that says it all.

Yes. They were shit from day one.
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is a tedious mountain of self-indulgent wank only matched by the likes of Emerson, Lake and fucking Palmer or 'Wall' era Pink Floyd. Horrendous.

'Hippy condemns hippies'
How fucking Alanis Morissette is that?

as you may expect
I agree with you up until the Wall bit. But we don't need to go over that again.

In other news, I listened to more Wolf People last night. Really great stuff. I think you'd probably like them better than Black Mountain, if you ever actually listened to either of them.

I'm a Floyd fan myself, but even I'd admit "The Final Cut" is a dreadful tuneless faux-profound Neo-Marxist dirge.
Their early years were the best, up until "Animals"

True fact

my god, he's actually said something sensible.
Although I like The Wall and even Division Bell.

I'm going to test you here: what is their best song?

also: if you like that sort of stuff, try listening to these modern bands:
Wolf People
Black Mountain
Pure Reason Revolution
Bigelf

"Fat Old Sun" from "Atom Heart Mother"

an interesting choice
unfortunately the answer is Echoes

Arnold Layne and The Nile Song have to be up there too.

They are all good songs
but not a patch on Echoes

Bah.
"AHM" will always be the one for me, with its zany, quintessentially British psychedelia.

I have a great recording of them doing the whole thing live on John Peel's show

Echoes is fantastic
But it wasn't on Piper at the Gates of dawn and is 70's Floyd and everyone knows 60's Floyd was the best.
( Peej, Fri 15 Jul 2011, 16:35, Reply)

I prefer the 70s stuff myself
but that is not to say that the 60s stuff isn't outstanding.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 15 Jul 2011, 16:36, Reply)

Look Monty and I have established that Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the best Floyd Album
There's no arguing. It's scientific fact, there's no real evidence for it but it is scientific fact.
( Peej, Fri 15 Jul 2011, 16:37, Reply)

I disagree with Monty on a lot of things.
So far I've loved all the music he's sent my way, but I disagree with a bunch of the stuff he dislikes.
