Week 2: 50 Records That Changed the Face of Music.

[Dusty Chalk]

You know why Yes, Genesis and King Crimson were so great?

They didn't grow up listening to Yes, Genesis and King Crimson.

Such a great line, I had to quote it for appreciation.

You beat me to it Dusty. I laughed out loud in appreciation when I read that line.

I still love Dream Theater, however.

[JoeE SP9]

How about Santana?

[MasterCylinder]

Well I guess I'll be known as the elitist but with regard to the food chain of popular rock music genres, preferring the Stones over Dream Theater is nothing short of bewildering.

Its understood if you disagree; I remain indifferent.

...myself...I think The Yes Album, Fragile, and Close To The Edge contain some of the best and most creative music that exists in rock...Where Yes went after that, I haven't a clue...IMO the best thing to come out of Genesis was Peter Gabriel's "Salisbury Hill"...King Crimson had Greg Lake, one good picker and ELP did have it's moments. His "I Believe In Father Christmas" with it's nod to "Troika" from Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije' Suite never fails to recall the folly of it all and bring me close to the edge (so to speak)...

I like some progressive...I like some heavy metal...put 'em together in a group like Dream Theater and...it ain't a match made in heaven IMHO...

==============================================

Frankly, on a dare, they went to Topographic.
After that they reached way out to Relayer.

I'm one of the few that actually love most of the material in those albums.
