Re: What do you like best in prog?

hey sharc.........opinion is pouring out of me........

Mike Oldfield: Excellent choice..he slipped my mind.....would he also play guitar?
Rick Wakeman:

Phil Collins: My favorite drummer, 'til MP came along and I love Phil's vocals

Greg Lake: I like his work, but as a bass player myself, I need a little more action. The thought of Phil and Greg singing together is very interesting

GREAT CHOICES!! I'd like to hear that group too

sssssssshhhh!! I'm not real familiar with too many of his CD's. The next 2 after Tubular Bells were nice, but I haven't heard him since then. THAT'S a long time ago. I thought he played guitar, just haven't heard in a while. I like your SUPERSTAR Line up

As the proud owner of 25 of Mikes recording , you are missing some Classics. These recommendations are not like his 1st few...

Platnuim and Qe2 are tonal genious
5 miles out is an opus exceptional
then there is the Simon Phillips years on Drums.......Crisis an exceptional Recording with double footpedals flying


finally you can get these AWESOME recordings for peanuts:http://search.half.ebay.com/Mike-Old...QpgZ2QQmZmusic

Yes Jon sings IN HIGH PLACES, an Oldfieldish Chant with many layers, this really is one of my top Ten recording all time .
In 1984 I got a Wonderfull Turntable for my pristene collection. During the LP days I Played a new RECORD (?)only once as I recorded a cassette on my Nakamichi deck. The Record in Sleave was then placed in No-acid plastic covers, and so went my Whole collection for 2 decades. One day at Cutler Records next to Toads Place New Haven, I was Introduced to Japanese Pressings. Crisis was such a Spectacular recordings that to this day I still play that Petroleum Platter instead of CD............. P.S. I got 2 copies
