[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 72769, member: 2189"] It was the music I grew up with as we are both about the same age. Still a huge fan of that era as I listen to anything from Genesis of which I'm a huge fan, saw Phil Collins when he had hair and only played behind the drum kit while Peter did the vocals and his theatrics but also enjoy King Crimson and pre-Darkside of the Moon Pink Floyd as well as a variety of not so well known progressive music of the 70's era. By the time "prog" was waining in the latter 70's and punk was taking over I had moved on to jazz, fusion and electronic music like Tangerine Dream. Still enjoy that genre today with artists like Jeff Kashiwa to Paul Hardcastle to Patrick O'Hearn but I'm just as likely to listen to Tony Iommie of Black Sabbath who btw is a huge fan of jazz and hopes to one day do a jazz album or Keith Urban or Brad Pasley who I think both are fantastic guitarists. My kids recently turned me on to Nickelback which I'm really liking.
