Your 3 fave Genesis tracks

[Yesspaz]

My opinion on some different points:

*Yes was a guitar band over a keyboard band, if you had to go one way or the other (although they were really a blend).

*Tony Banks aligned against Wakeman? Is this even close? It might be debateable in a LONG SHOT, but if you want to put it on the line, Pat Moraz makes Banks and Wakeman combined look like a two-year-old trying to play Chopin. Banks and Wakeman can't carry Moraz's luggage.

*Agree with the Squire assessment. The only ones who are in the same league with him are Voctor Wooten, Les Claypool, Geddy Lee, and Tony Levin, with Flea, Bootsy Collins, and the guy from GG bringing up the rear.

*Hackett versus Howe? Ha! You gotta be kinding me. Howe is more versatile (classical, folk, rock, country, jazz) and plays more variety of instruments. Even in Hackett's main type of music, the classical/folk vein, Howe is incomparable. Just put Horizons up agains The Clap, Mood for a Day, or Masquerade. Please.

*Phil Collins isn't as good as Bill Bruford, agreed. However, I consistantly find myself defending the superb drumming of Alan White. White is just as good if not better than Collins. The fact is, Alan White knows how to play the music very well. But believe me, he's not some "weak link" in Yes. Listen to Tales, Relayer, GftO, Drama, Talk, and songs like Dreamtime. Ask ProgDirJim about Release, Release!

*Anderson over Gabriel - next.

*Most underappreciated guitarist? I'd say Hackett gets plenty of props. The most underappreciated guitarists in my opinion are Tony Palacios, Neal Schon, Mike Oldfield, and Peter Banks.



And finally, a question: Are Phil Collins and Bootsy Collins related?
