There's one minor problem with the possible interpretation you ask about
above:  "Supper's Ready" first appeared on _Foxtrot_, which was nowhere near
the last Genesis album upon which Gabriel appeared.  After _Foxtrot_,
the band released _Live_, _Selling England By the Pound_ and _The Lamb Lies
Down On Broadway_.  Gabriel left the band after the _Lamb..._ tour, in 1975.

I think you're just confusing a couple of songs.  Most people consider
Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill," from his first solo album, to be the song
in which he describes leaving the band.  ("I was feeling part of the scenery/
had to get out of the machinery").

Loosely speaking, "Supper's Ready" is about the second coming of christ.  It
also includes bits of various mythologies, and presents the whole mess in
a sort of pseudo-fantasy/sci-fi sort of setting.  It is a rather wild song,
and one of the band's best.  To be frank, I don't have the slightest idea if
this modern-day setting for the second coming prophecy is supposed to have
some other symbolic meaning, apart from the obvious social commentary that
the song makes (commentary that is just as strong in other songs on the album--
"Time Table," "Can Utility and the Coastliners," "Get 'em Out By Friday,"
and "Watcher of the Skies."  I've yet to find any social commentary in
"Horizons"...;-)

Well, I'm not sure where you get all this.  Not to flame you or anything,
but how do you know how much charm they have?  Personally, I couldn't care
less about their personalities as long as they keep giving me music like UYI.
I was never too thrilled with AFD, except for a couple of songs, but I was
interested.  UYI sealed it -- I've been *this* addicted to an album only once
before -- when I discovered The Wall as a freshman in high school in 1982.

IMHO, UYI2 is totally killer, opening note to coda.  The solemn guitar in
the "Civil War" intro (what a song, overall!), the bluesy sound of "14 Years",
the killer lyrics and guitar break of "Yesterdays", "Pretty Tied Up", the
dizzying guitar attack of "Locomotive", "Estranged" (which *totally* blows
me away every time I hear it), etc.  Hell, even Duff can write a great song
("So Fine").  What can I say?  I'm blown away.  UYI2 hasn't left my CD player
since I got it, and I'm still looking forward to getting into UYI1!

This has been bugging me for quite some time.  There is an ELO song I
hear on the radio all the time, and I don't know the title of it.  The
song is the long, rather extravagant instrumental which contains the
backward lyric in the middle.  I am thinking that it is "Kuiama," from
the second album, but I really don't know.  Anyone want to help me here?

Also, anyone have a clue as to what the backward lyric says?  I always
like to joke to friends that they're saying "Ha!  You expected to hear
something Satanic, you stupid fuck?"  :-)

Secondly, I have recently started listening to Eric Clapton and really like

People have been talking about Fish/Banks for quite a while now.  IF
you check out an archive of this group (or rec.music.misc) and look for
Banks references, you'll be able to read all you want about this stuff.
He sings on two songs on "Still", I think he does a song or two on
"Bankstatement", and he did a song on the "Quicksilver" soundtrack.

They're all ok, and they're all more Banks-oriented than Fish-oriented.

	In the 60's (1966-1972), didn't we like musicians who stood for

an "establishment" vehicle, and Bono sucks 'cause he says what he thinks.

  Sammy has worked on two Montrose albums that I know of; one is called
"Montrose" (I think) and the other is Paper Money.  While I don't own
either, they are from the Bay Area, so they get a lot of airplay around
here even though Sammy has long since left that band.

   Two songs that I can think of off-hand that you might have heard 
from Montrose w/ Sammy are "Rock Candy" (hot, sweet and sticky!) and
Bad Motorscooter.  If you are a Sammy fan you should check them out.

OK, then who the heck is Gandalf?  (Yes, I've read Tolkein -- no need to
explain that. ;-)  Some band/artist with whom Hackett has worked in
the past?  Worth looking into?  Worth paying mongo bucks for imports, or
just scrounging through used LP bins?

And just to be nit-pickity, saying "with Steve Hackett" could perfectly
