I also never play the same music twice as I improvise 100% of the time.
Blyme, that's amazing!
By the way, neither Mike or myself copied anybody. Our submissions were based purely an exercise in sound textures. For me, it was something I always wanted to do. A one off, which I did a couple of years ago.
Personally, I wouldn't want to spend what time I have left on this planet covering someone else's material, when I have so many more songs still unwritten.
But I think this guy who's done the Suppers Ready thing deserves credit for a pretty decent job. The only issue I have is that I find it difficult getting around the accent of the guy singing!
As you say, each to his own.

Doesn't anyone compose original music anymore?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a major fan of Genesis and a lot of other bands I hear the group "covering", but to me music is a personal expression. I also never play the same music twice as I improvise 100% of the time.
Not at all dismissing your efforts, in fact kudos to you all, I just express MY feeling regardless of how much I admire the work of others. I just don't care to copy them up to my maximun ability.
Oh well to each their own.
