Favorite Prog Groups

[Remo]

I can imagine why so many are against Philly. But I think he is great drummer, better singer than Gabriel, great composer, great producer. Today because of him everybody knows songs like In The Cage, Supper's Ready, Cinema show, I know What I Like...
or that Tony Banks is great keyboard (or the greatest for my taste) player.
Phil Collins (like it or not) was and is a part of Genesis not like Trevor Rabin who was intruder in Yes.

Phil is a great drummer and not a bad singer, but better than with Peter no way.

Phil sang lead on several very early Genesis songs; every time I saw them, going back their first US tour as an opening act for It's A Beautiful Day, in April 1972, Phil did sing lead.

Thank you Jeff; finally someone mentioned Nektar!

No one has mentioned Starcastle. Sure, the initial album sounded a lot like Yes, including the singer, but the songs are great prog and later albums showed the depth of the group. Besides, Gary Strater (RIP) wrote some amazing bass lines.

I have Fountains of Light on vinyl. I like it very much. What would you suggest to listen to next?

Aargh! How could I forget Nektar? I have Remember the Future on vinyl!

I'll go along with that list, too, except for Rush. I just don't care for Geddy's singing. Especially the albums "Fragile" through "Relayer" are tops on my list.

Agree on both
