I totally understand your mother thing. I had the same experience with Jon Anderson's Change We Must album: my daughters were about 6 & 5 when I discovered it. I'll never forget coming in from outdoor chores to find them enrapt in it: the eldest reading the lyrics booklet while the youngest danced her ballet to each and every song. They must have had that disc on repeat for several days. It was beautiful. |

The Lamb; "The Cage" has always been, for me, the only song I find hard to palate. It drags on so long.
I've always LOVED "Moonchild," "The Overload," "Karn Evil," and "More Fool Me" but could also do without "Epping Forest," "Providence," "Money," "City of Love," and "Have a Cigar." |

The Human Equation - Day 12: Trauma
The only track on the album that drags a little. But it’s pretty much a flawless album…. |

In the court of the crimson king - Moonchild
I like the song, but those 8 minutes at the end can start to get annoying |

Meddle - Seamus. Meddle has been my favourite album since I first heard it back in 1972 and was my gateway into prog (and the Floyd). I think the weakest two tracks are San Tropez and Seamus, and maybe 'Biding My Time' would have fitted better (theme wise) had it not been released earlier in the year on Relics.

Made Again for me, not bad, but I guess it works as a conclusion.

Album: Yes - 90125
Least favorite song: "City of Love" (It fits in well with the album's "sound world", but lyrically, it's a little too...street. Of course, most of the album was put together before Jon Anderson was added at the eleventh hour.)

My favorite album is Brave by Marillion, and my least favorite song on that album is "Paper Lies."

I respect your opinion! Complex tracks just give me more by paying attention to the details.

Clearly More Fool Me is not a prog song and I wasn't claiming it to be so. It's an honest little song that was worth a place on the album and added a bit of variety and contrast. Epping Forest is good for about 2 minutes then gets tiresome very quickly but then that is just my opinion. |

I suppose Genesis were concerned that ELP's propensity for absolute sh*te tracks alongside prog classics was all alone, so they added mire fool me for solidarity with fellow proggers....its the only argument that fits such a strange event...

Epping Forest is one of their most complex tracks, while More Fool Me is built up with the standard pop-structure. Really predictable. Not an awful song of course, but Epping Forest is in a whole other league.

so basically a bad prog song always trumps a good pop song. More Fool Me is actually just a very strong song (not everything has to be prog). I can't stand most Phil Collins eighties drivel but that was still a long way off. |

Genesis became really interesting after Gabriel and Hackett departure.

Aye. Epping Forest is in my top ten Genesis tracks....it fits the album superbly and has ridiculously good lyrics...amongst my top ten lyrical tracks of all time...sometimes you wonder why people like more fool me better than the Epping Forest..not prog fans in my view....

I've said many times that I don't mind this track at all although it doesn't really fit.
