[QUOTE="glpease, post: 148353, member: 18"] Don't forget the often brilliant, fantasy inspired album cover art by Roger Dean. (Some of the later albums were done by Hipgnosis.) These guys are remarkable, and a lot of their music still has amazing currency. True musicians. Chris Squire is one of the most innovative bassists I've ever heard, and Steve Howe, at his prime, was an amazing guitarist. I don't want to sound like a geezer. There's plenty of good music still being produced, but the percentage of overly produced rubbish, foisted on the public by media moguls, rather than [i]music[/i] producers, is higher than it's ever been, and for the most part, all you need to be successful is a pretty face and Disney (or Sony) in your corner. Talent is often irrelevant. You've always had to look hard to uncover the truly great music in the popular genres, the stuff that would withstand the rigors of time, but today, you need a microscope to find the gems amongst the flood of teen-oriented, mindless rubbish. I guess I [i]am[/i] a geezer. [/QUOTE]
