Actually funny you should say that...

I was listening to it last night, and had got as far as the second disc, which covers their post-Gabriel years in mid- to late-70's, when it suddenly dawned me....

This is exactly what Porcupine Tree are trying to sound like....!!

Anyone want to buy any Porcupine Tree albums? One careful owner...

I've got all their albums up to when Gabriel left and only Seconds Out from after that.

I've got most of Peter Gabriel's albums.

I looked at "The Platinum Collection" on the Amazon site, I think the order of the CDs is interesting. They work back from the 'pop' period Genesis and hide the good stuff on the 3rd CD. Many people who only know the Collins fronted stuff probably won't ever play CD3 more than once.

Did you also buy Robbie Williams Greatest Hits
or Love Songs: A Compilation... Old and New by Phil Collins?

Hee hee, no I am not that desperate!

I can just about take Collins' nasal whine on the Genesis stuff but to listen to him trying to sing love songs and I think I rather want to throw up

Cheers,

JR

PS: Next on my list is a Barry Manilow compilation....

Massive Attack "Mezzanine"
Rolling Stones "Live Licks"
Damien Rice "B-Sides"
Bill Deasy "Drain Tapes - Volume 1"
Laura Veirs "Troubled By The Fire"

Jeff A

Etta James - "Love Songs"
Ike Quebec - "Heavy Soul"

Both earn two snaps up, in a circle.
