46. Big Time?

Mon Mar 5, 2012, 08:34 PM

Mar 2012

wouldn't Big Time be more suitable??

'the place where I come from is a small town
they think so small
they use small words
-but not me
I'm smarter than that
I worked it out
I've been stretching my mouth
to let those big words come right out

...I'll be a big noise with all the big boys
there's so much stuff I will own
and I will pray to a big god
as I kneel in the big church

..my parties all have big names
and I greet them with the widest smile
tell them how my life is one big adventure
and always they're amazed
when I show them round my house, to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
with a snow-white pillow for my big fat head'

still one of my favorite bass lines.. Tony Levin.

Interesting. I did not know old Genesis was prog rock. Quantess Mar 2012 #19

"In the Court of the Crimson King" was a major problem for Genesis. Think "The Lamb". HopeHoops Mar 2012 #22

Glad to see another classic Genesis fan on DU! NICO9000 Mar 2012 #29

When Genesis first wanted a touring drummer after Gabriel left, they used Bill Bruford muriel_volestrangler Mar 2012 #31

There's a great DVD of that tour NICO9000 Mar 2012 #59

I still love "In the Beginning", and that predates Crimson. It's also how they got started. HopeHoops Mar 2012 #70

"Eleventh Earl of Mar" and "One for the Vine" were definitely prog, but FYFM was the tipping point. HopeHoops Mar 2012 #95

True, But 3 also had Down and Out and The Lady Lies sweetloukillbot Mar 2012 #97

Yeah, but then there was "Misunderstanding". Story follows... HopeHoops Mar 2012 #98
