Ladies and gentlemen....We have a celebrity here.  Please welcome Mr. Robert 
Christgau :)  Seriously, you're echoing just about every mainstream music 
critic under the sun, right down to the "Thank goodness punk came along and 
got rid of all that!" sentiment.  Me, I think Yes' _Tales From Topographic 
Oceans_ is one of the five best pop/rock albums *ever* and I think Gabriel 
Genesis is pure ecstasy and brilliance.  Your mileage may vary, of course.
