Comments on: Ear Trumpets Mandatory As Genesis Reform http://www.the-spine.com/archives/392 The News With Added Backbone Fri, 21 Nov 2008 00:21:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: David http://www.the-spine.com/archives/392#comment-1576 David Thu, 09 Nov 2006 15:48:22 +0000 http://www.the-spine.com/archives/392#comment-1576 Ah, I've recently started listening to Floyd and, specifically, Roger Waters. I love the eclecticism of it all. I'll have to check out earlier Genesis, though if there's a Floyd/Genesis polarity developing here, I might be on the opposite side to poor old Phil and his drums.

And I say that as a drummer. Compared to most other 70s 'prog' they're the champions, rivalled only by Gentle Giant, I'd say. I intensely dislike Pink Floyd and haven't much given Yes a chance. Yet. I quietly appreciate Nick Cave.

They're far too harmonious for my liking, though I find I'm appreciating Phil Collins more as he's got fractious in his old age. I think I'll stick with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, who I love with all of my face. :) I’ve never understood their appeal.

I'm going to this gig, by the way. I actually love Genesis with all of my face.
