Showing Original Post only (View all)Peter Gabriel to Rush Limbaugh: Stop using my music... [View all]
Peter Gabriel has asked that this response be published when he found out that his track 'Sledgehammer' has been used on the Rush Limbaugh show:
'Peter was appalled to learn that his music was linked to Rush Limbaugh's extraordinary attack on Sandra Flute. It is obvious from anyone that knows Peter's work that he would never approve such a use. He has asked his representatives to make sure his music is withdrawn and especially from these unfair aggressive and ignorant comments. '

Cause their music sucks? Progressives are just more creative, naturally. They have to work at it.

"In the Court of the Crimson King" was a major problem for Genesis. Think "The Lamb".

When Genesis first wanted a touring drummer after Gabriel left, they used Bill Bruford

I still love "In the Beginning", and that predates Crimson. It's also how they got started.

"Eleventh Earl of Mar" and "One for the Vine" were definitely prog, but FYFM was the tipping point.
