I don’t understand how **Genesis** so often gets excluded from prog discussions. Seriously, page 2 and not a single mention? As to the previous mention of JS Bach, I would say it truly becomes prog when played by Wendy Carlos. ---

On prog boards Genesis (Yes,Crimson…) get talked to death. Its always stupid noob posts like: " “Roundabout” VS “Watcher in the Skies” " … Howabout something ( a wee bit) less obvious: bands clearly influenced by Genesis. ---

Wallace gots two message boards. One is full-up and I’m not gonna pay for more space. The other is a nasty, nasty place. Not for those with - as the Drake documentary has it - a skin too few. ---
