Replied to the thread TotW 06/10/2024 - 06/16/2024: GENESIS - Misunderstanding.PostIt's derided by many fans, certainly on here but while it's not in my top 20 I've never had a problem with it.

Replied to the thread “Abacab” Tribute Band Playing in Delaware.PostWell, Abacab's show last night would certainly satisfy any fan of the proggy stuff. I've been a fan for years and I've seen them close to a dozen times and this was by far the heaviest set they've ever played.

Replied to the thread Ant-era Songwriting Credits (1967-1970).PostI don't know if it can help:
