Marillion Keeps Prog Alive Through “Clutching at Straws”: Prog Review #37

Stop for King Crimson's "Red": Prog Review #15
The story goes that Kurt Cobain said without Red there would be no Nirvana. But I don’t hold that against this album.
Dancing in Time to Genesis's "Foxtrot": Prog Review #14
I don’t just love Foxtrot; I feel a special attachment to it. And, yet, it is still only my third-favourite Genesis album.
