He presaged New Romantic face painting by 10 years and Wayne Coyne's onstage theatrics and love of the bizarre by 25 years. Anyone who likes Elbow will find much to admire and any bands that play to a classical structure will have to admit to the Genesis influence.

Post Gabriel, I agree, they sank into a tacky commercial mess with only a few highlights after Trick of The Tail

That's a fair assessment Wheeze

As the show is moving onto punk next week, It looks like they're going to skip Led Zeppelin all together. How can that be?

You can't talk about the history of rock and not mention Led Zeppelin, that's like talking about the history of Fell Running and not mentioning Joss Naylor
