Tony Banks: "I've been very lucky with the people over the years."

“We did all like the simpler pop music too, but realised that a lot of people were doing it and doing it very well. So, we wanted to see if we could go a bit further, and in the early 1970s there was a licence to do that and an audience for it. We found that we liked to go from piece to piece, with the ultimate example being ‘Supper’s Ready’ (on Foxtrot, 1972), which is really a suite of seven pieces. Again, here it’s the transition that makes it so interesting – when Peter (Gabriel) says ‘A flower’, you go from this romantic little interlude to this very aggressive and rather ugly sound.” https://www.classical-music.com Conference: Progressive Music Awards.

He hardly even mentions Mike Rutherford and Steve Hackett, and Peter Gabriel in passing, almost irrelevant: "Writing songs together seemed to work for us." Despite all, it was Peter Gabriel the one who introduced Tony Banks from the podium at the awards ceremony. (The rights of these songs don't belong to me. I am not any company and I don't have a profit-making job, so this video is only to share and promote what I love.) Cada dia, diferents continguts del Prog més clàssic a: https://t.me/classicalprog
