The Cure and Genesis are my #2 and #3 bands of all time.

The last 3 Gabriel Genesis records and the first 5 Collins ones are their best.

Blood of Eden is on 1992's Us, not 2003's Up. Us for me is where Gabriel started getting too meandering and vague with his music and it only got worse from there (and this is one of my favorite artists ever, understand). It's all about the third record, So and Security for me, with selected tracks from 1, 2 and Us …

For whatever this is worth—and I got into them at different times and in different ways, and they mean very different things to me, but—Duke and Hi Infidelity are two of my favorite records of all time (and both from 1980, the year I believe is the best in pop/rock music history for albums and the year the most…

"…asks ABOUT James Franco." "asks OF" him suggests the question is being posed to Franco

Listening to no hip-hop other than one white group possibly makes you uncultured.

Hmm. Our Song would be next-lowest for me; CoL I quite like. Big Generator is kind of a mess to me but there are moments of inspiration (RoL, ALL, LWFaW, I'm Running). I did actually see the ARW tour. Lots of fun. Hadn't seen any incarnation since 2002 and Rabin or Wakeman since 1991 (for Union).

This is the coolest comment ever. I want that job.

Very cultured.

That's quite a statement. And I LOVE Yes.
