Ok, we're agreed. Just seemed you were ignoring the Gabriel era, which is
the only Genesis you'll ever catch me listened to (unless some idiot at work
has the radio on- although that would technically be just hearing).
>Van Halen. I don't think any of their incarnations were really any good.
Again, agreed!

close... Paul Di'anno, but he appears to still be alive... no details here
of why he left. BTW, I must stress that I too am not an Iron Maiden fan in
any way, shape or form, I just have a copy of the Rolling Stone Rock 'n'
Roll Encyclopedia & figure I might as well use it, even to spread knowledge
about stupid bands.
