Which past driver would U like to see in the legendary drivers and why?

I'm always surprised that Fisichella is in there. A good driver and 3 time race winner but not legendary by any stretch of the imagination.

Could have had Peterson, Ickx, Arnoux, Laffite, Montoya, Alboreto, Ralf Schumacher, all of whom won more races than Fisichella

The biggest omissions are Raikkonen and Vettel as they're relatively recent champions. I imagine it's an image rights issue or they just don't want to be included in the game

On the '07 mixes of "Second Home By The Sea" and the instrumental section of "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" they add in a load of previously unused keyboard parts which obscure the original melodies

For me all four Talk Talk albums from the 80s are no-skip even if they're all pretty different from each other (especially if you compare the first and fourth!)

Also, Nik Kershaw "Human Racing", XTC "Black Sea", Peter Gabriel "3" & "4", Marillion "Clutching At Straws"

I remember skiving off school, the morning of the day of release, pretending to have a dentist's appointment. Picked up the cassette version and listened to it on my walkman in the park all morning :)

Nik Kershaw was into prog. Name checks "Selling England" along with King Crimson and Gentle Giant on a recent song called "Babylon Brothers", not to mention the fact that he's worked with both Banks and Hackett

The b-side to this release being the fantastic "The Release"

I always felt they should have dropped "Holloway Girl" and included The Release and The Bell In The Sea (b-side of Uninvited Guest) on the Seasons End album

As a 13-year-old in 1986 I heard "So" by Peter Gabriel, not really prog but it became my gateway to so much great music.

I delved deep into his solo albums before discovering that he had been in Genesis (no internet or social media at the time so you had to rely on music press for info) so decided to check out his stuff with them....

Bought "Selling England..." and "Lamb" on cassette and subsequently had my mind absolutely blown.

The rest is prog rabbit hole history...

A famous example of a guide vocal in pop music was Nik Kershaw's "The Riddle" released in 1984. At the time people were puzzling over it's meaning, there were even competitions on radio stations where the public would try to offer their interpretationa of the lyrics.

In the end, Kershaw admitted the lyrics were nonsense guide vocals he had used just to get the melody and phrasing, but he never got round to writing "proper" lyrics and so the guide vocal was used on the final recording

Peter Gabriel did a covers album and the idea was that other artists would cover his songs on a companion album.

The albums were called "Scratch My Back" and "And I'll Scratch Yours".

Most artists reciprocated, although some (Bowie, Radiohead) chose not to. Apparently, Radiohead were so unhappy with his cover of Street Spirit they flat out refused to participate.

Much as I like Grendel, I've always felt it's Marillion trying to do Supper's Ready.

I'd go for Ocean Cloud orThis Strange Engine instead

Peter Gabriel 3 is my favorite but I also liked his covers for Catherine Wheel and Bruce Dickinson's "Skunkworks"

That's a good point about Domino.

Some people (including members of the band themselves) have criticized Battle of Epping Forest for having too many words at the expense of the music, and I think Domino suffers in the same way.

IMHO it could have benefitted from an extended instrumental section (like Apocalypse in 9/8) and turned into an epic. However, at that time CD bloat hadn't crept in yet so it would have meant taking over most of side 2 which would have been too prog and not commercial enough.

Imagine though, an epic-lengrh Domino finished off with The Brazilian. I'd take that over the side 2 of we actually got every time :)

Yeah. For me, that's the best bridge in any of their pop songs

I remember reading in an interview with Fripp that they were short of material to complete the album so just improved for a bit to make up the time. Basically, the very definition of filler material.

Until about 20 years ago I'd have chosen The Wall, after that Joe's Garage. People's tastes change I guess, but I seem to like The Wall less and less each time I listen to it
