This is the answer.

Look who is back! Welcome.

I love Phil Collins so much and have never seen him live. Was just talking about him yesterday given it was his birthday two days ago and was told by a friend whose Dad knows him from all the Alamo artifact stuff that he's apparently not doing very well physically unfortunately.

June 20, 1987. I'm 21 years old. in Germany in the Army. My buddies and I decide to go see Genesis Invisible Touch tour. It's an open air concert in Mannheim. I don't know much about Genesis but I know of a few of their songs. Benny Hill introduced the band. Crazy fun afternoon and evening!

Sonic the Hedgehog, of course.

Streets of Rage 2 is tons of fun also.

Greatest prog band of all time? If no, who?

No.

Tool, easily.

You misspelled Rush.

Geddy Lee sounds like a screeching drunk parakeet. His vocals are some of the worst I have ever heard. If they had decent vocals, I probably could have gotten into them because I like Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart was obviously fantastic. Although as a drummer I was always disappointed that Neil didn't do more on the albums.

But even disregarding the vocals, nothing Rush did holds a candle to Tool's Lateralus, 10,000 Days, or Fear Inoculum albums.

Since there was no specific prog genre specified (the question was 'Greatest prog band of all time'), I'm gonna say the album run of Blackwater Park, Deliverance, Damnation, Ghost Reveries and Watershed tops what Tool did.

And I am a huge tool fan of 30 years., seen them live 7 or 8 times.

The amount of genre exploration on the Opeth 5 album run blows Tool out of the water. And damn near 100% of it is God tier level. Tool is nearly always Drop D as well, which pulls it out of the highly progressive box.

Tool does take the cake on meter/poly-rhythms. .

He was just on a few episodes of Drumeo.. Clearly to see this is true.

my first concert ever was Genesis on 8/14/82 at The Summit in Houston....my mom dropped my brother and I off at the show....i remember only recognizing Turn It On Again and Abacab....i look back at that setlist nowadays and realize what a killer show that probably was....need to go back in time and tell that 13 year old kid to pay attention because this band would still be important 40+ years later.....

I know what you mean. My first concert ever was Pat Benatar with Red Rider opening in March of 1983. I was 9 years old. My parents took my sister and I. I remember being there, but don't remember much else. Then in the summer of 83 the took us to see Journey for the Frontiers tour. Again, I remember being there, but don't remember how it sounded. Now I watch youtube videos of live performances by Journey and Pat Benatar from back in those days and they sounded awesome live.

1. Supper's Ready. Greatest prog song of all time.

2. Abacab.

3. Foxtrot. Saw Steve Hackett's "Foxtrot at 50" show last year in Houston. Really fun evening.

4. Abacab (Who Dunnit? notwithstanding). That's when I climbed on the bandwagon in 1981 hooked by the title track.

5. Driving the Last Spike. An odd subject with a slow start but really builds to a towering second half. Their last prog/pop hurrah. "We'll never the see the likes of them again" indeed.

6. Illegal Alien. A joke -- literally.

7. Certainly top three. King Crimson at #1 followed by Yes?

My first concert was the Mama Tour stop at The Summit in Houston in Jan. 1984. I was a junior at TAMU and four of us were going down to see the show. However, the day of the concert I was sick with a temp of 102F. I told my buddies to go without me. But one of them said, "You can stay here by yourself and be sick. Or you can come with us and be sick with Genesis." When he put it that way it made perfect sense. I slept on the way down and the concert was awesome. Just what the doctor ordered.

Like others have said, was disappointed they didn't make any southern stops on their Last Domino? Tour. But when I saw video of the shows I was glad I missed it. Will chose to remember them as I saw and heard them in the 80's.

That's a good buddy you had there.
