Yeah, I didn't get why this person called it goofy, either. It makes perfect sense to me.

Ok, Phil, Mike and Tony turned Genesis into a pop band at the 80's but the band still is part of the music history...   Hoggarth was very inffluential too as Marillion vocalist and lyricist. As Phil he had to replace an awsome band lider like Fish and he did a great job but I really think that Phil had more balls when he became Genesis vocalist and "leader"...

but in the 80`s prog had some kind of "identity" problem  lots of bands got confused about thier "progressive' natures around this peroid,   Kansas did .. so did Rush to some extent  Yes churned out CD`s like 90125  and Tull started sounding like Dire Straits. The 80`s was a generation that said Greed is Good  and the mentality of what was good was what sold like hot cakes ... I don`t blame genesis  for falling victum to the times then ....  but I do now (well since the 90`s) , because prog these days is profitable again so there is no excuse !  If I could play prog  I`d play prog
