I actually have all their albums up to Abacab but mostly listen to the Gabriel / Hackett eras.

You're absolutely right there- I'd jump off this world if we all liked the same things.

The pinnacle for me is The Lamb but it does have a personal emotional pull way beyond the music as well.

Fair enough but then I've loved them since I was a spotty youth of 13 so slightly biased. 😊

I know people see them them as a prog band but completely overlook or are unaware of their more social commentary tracks.

I mean Get 'Em Out By Friday is as scathing a track as you'll hear about capitalism it's just wrapped up in a very different musical style.

It's a timeless classic indeed.

I always listen to the entire album of an artist / band and play my compilations when I fancy a mix up of tunes. 👍
