Hello Frank
Replying to a message of Frank Swarbrick to Michael Reed:
[Genesis]
 FS> For Genesis I think their second album, _Trespass_, is a pretty good
 FS> place to start.  It's probably the most easily accessable of the
 FS> early albums (other than the first one, which is basically a pop
 FS> album), and it's also darn good.  Don't start with _Foxtrot_, no
 FS> matter what anyone here tells you!  It's a good album, but it takes
 FS> some listening to get into it, so it might turn you off at first. 
 FS> And we don't want that!  :-)
Thanks for the advice. I'll keep an eye out for Trespass then. I've just 
bought Abacab on LP for 99p. I really like most of it. Particualy the title 
track. I wish there was more of Mike Rutherfud's guitar playing on it. He 
plays some nice lead on the first song. I've only had it for a couple of days 
so I'm still finding my way around it!
 FS> As for Marillion, any of the first four studio albums are worth
 FS> getting.  I'm not as fond of _Fugazi_, myself, but a lot of people
I had this about two years ago and didn't really like it. To be honest I 
didn't give it much of a chance, I just listened to the first couple of songs 
and gave it away to someone.
[later ablums vs. early]
 FS> They're OK, but simply liking earlier ones will not
 FS> necessarily mean you like these ones.
Thanks, I'll these albums to my look for list.
Bye then,
