I consider that insulting.  I have expanded my musical horizons much
over the years.  I have learned to play 4 instruments, 2 professionally.
I have a happening _local_ band right now.  I don't like old Genesis,
and I base my opinion on many, many listenings over the years. I don't
consider it very progressive, and that's OK, I am entitled to my
opinion.  I have a Masters degree in theoretical mathematics, have
taught at University, and am an intelligent person and have seriously
studied progressive rock on my own now for 28+ years, as well as many
other styles of music, and have studied music theory in college; I can
think and decide for myself.  I'm glad you enjoy old Genesis and
certainly am not slamming you for it. Please keep it civil.  Now you
think Carl Palmer is a bad drummer. IMHO, only a moron would make such a
statement.  But I have not in the past and never would slam you for
that; it's your opinion and you are entitled to it; and perhaps you hear
something I don't. But we don't have to agree, that's for sure.  It's
called Freedom, baby! Civil discourse is fine, but please lay off the
insults, OK Clark? I'm sure you are an intellegent, fine young man, and
I enjoy your discourse, commentary, recommendations, and opinions,
always stated intellegently. Please don't stoop to insults now.
Peace & Love, long lost brother of mine.
