Yup Tubular Bells for me as well...Bought it for my tenth birthday.

Still holds a special place for me.

Hi all.

I have to say I am a maasive fan of TC but never read ANY of SRD's other work. Mordant's Need would be the one I am looking at next (after I finish The Last Chronicles) so please convince a Noob how good these books are?

I like them...the early stuff especially, and "Lamb" I love...in my personal top 25. Later they were hit and miss, but still occasional stuff. Not a fan of Phil solo, really. But I like Hackett enough to have a couple solo works, and I even once owned...maybe still do, somewhere...GTR, Ga...

That album is A Trick Of The Tail

Stunning album in my opinion.

I have a great "like" for Genesis, heh. I love peter gabriel so that is the genesis I like best, but I LOVED duke. and yeah...it did kinda stop there for me, tho Seconds Out was cool (with one of my all time favorite drummers, bill bruford) I do love phil collins too, but not enough to pu...

Ok I will admit it I do have a vested interest (see my signature) but just wondering if any gentle folk here are fans of my favourite band? I must warn you now that I am an "All Era" fan....But I do understand why folk stop at "Duke" ;) Favourite albums are We Can't Dance A Trick...

Greetings, John Wilkinson. I will even withhold my Despite reserved for the newbs for now, since you arrived from a Genesis forum. But do keep in mind that my Despite will be easy to deserve with fresh achievements - and far not so easy to get rid of. To start with, I find the disliking so many peo...

Thanks Sir.

I have just popped across at the thread you mentioned and had my say.

I just found out what OPAL means

Count me in on that one....

John

Ok put me down as OPAL....

I think she is superb in Second Chronicles and I really must re-read ROTE.....

Thanks Iolanthe....

Just popped over and had a say

I have to say that I loved all the First and Second Chronicles, but I agree with a lot of the points made here. ROTE is FAR to slow paced for me when Linden enters The Land and as some have said the characters are "pale shadows" of what we have seen before. Reading ROTE put me off getting ...
