I've always felt like Gabriel-era Genesis transcended contemporary music, especially prog, and told a story.

ELP is like musical masturbation to me, and this is coming from a Gentle Giant fan boi.

Which is exactly why I tend to duck of out ELP conversation LOL.

I do enjoy Trilogy though.

My love of SEBTP comes from the extended instrumental passages in songs like Dancing With the Moonlight Knight, Firth of Fifth and The Cinema Show. It is so good to hear Genesis just cut loose and jam for a while without worrying about clever lyrics or strange costumes. Just the band doing what they did best - PLAY.

Yep although Cinema Show on Seconds Out is even better especially with when Chester and Phil get going.
