Well let's do another poll - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I hesitated for 2 seconds between 1 & 5 . Voted for option 5 !

The problem in option 1 is not only the lack of ELP but I realy feel Lake's leave lead KC to grow up, abandon pomposiness (sure misspeled her but you know what I mean) and helped them (him) to become a mudh better and more mature musician(s).

So option 5 where Genesis allready created most of their better albums sounds O.K. to me. The only question I have is does it means that 80's and 90's KC will never exist ? If so I choose wrong and I'm in hell.

Banks not getting the push.......

this poll will give me nightmares, i picked 2 anyway...

I've done a poll, it's very painful

Can I not stay in the real universe

? Do I have to pick one

?

Option three: Ian Anderson quits Jethro Tull after the first album and joins up with a plucky Jon Anderson and stone-faced Chris Squire.

A good alternate would be if "Hendrix didn't die, he would have completed his reunion with ELP, and formed HELP."

Or made an album with Miles Davis.

In bizarro territory, what if Frank Zappa hadn't died and joined Transatlantic?

Five would yield the widest variety of possibilities, and that got my almost immediate vote (4 seconds). ELP needed to happen. Banks needed to be out of Yes so Howe could join in. On the other hand, having the Anderson twins with Squire would yield some interesting possibilities, but then when I think about it, maybe Banks should have rema ---- BANG

The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

1 is half good -- the good part being ELP never happening, but having Lake stay with KC makes it too undesirable.

2: ambivalent.

3. Though I would see this as improving Yes, it's undesirable. Ian Anderson had at least a couple of really good albums with Jethro Tull left in him: Stand Up and Benefit (actually I like a fair amount of the later music too, and prefer JT to yes overall, so this one would be bad).

4. Ambivalent.

5. This would be an improvement on Genesis, but I wouldn't want to risk being deprived of Adrian Belew's solo work had the Genesis project continued. To a lesser extent, I would want to risk being deprived of Gabriel solo as I think he made most of his best music outside of Genesis. Leaving Genesis was a good move for Gabriel artistically, I feel. So, even though not something I care that much about, I would see it as being negative. There was a time when Lone Rhino was a very important album to me.

So neither two nor four bother me. Since I don't care about DT, it'll get my vote for being the least harmless/ important change. Being the one of least consequence, it is the least negative.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Four is the only one that wouldn't bother me.
