At any rate, here's Neal Morse (on the left, gabbing away and simultaneously shredding with his brother Al Morse with the original lineup of Spock's Beard, with drummer Nick D'Virgilio joining in later on vox, who was a drummer for Tear for Fears and for a latter-day Genesis album in addition to his primary gig with the Beard, which he now fronts after Neal's departure after he left Spock's Beard after becoming a devout Christian...phew...)
So pay attention to Neal. He was the original voice, keyboardist, songwriter, musical force and leader of Spock's Bead before 2003. He's a phenomenal singer, songwriter, guitar player, keyboardist and all-around great musician that I hold in high regard, and I think you thugs should, too. If you want a taste of his vocal abilities and full-band prowess with Spock's Beard and beyond, look below the fold.
Now start listening to real music and turn off the crap you're listening to. I'm serial. :-)
'The Light' - from Progfest 1995, with the original Spock's Beard line-up, with Ryo (added after the first album to free up Neal's hands a bit), with Neal in full control of everything - vox, keys, songwriting, guitar, etc.
One of my favorite Spock's Bead songs, with Neal's final album leading the band before he left to pursue a Christian music career (well, Christian prog music). Take in "Wind at my Back" :
One more - here's Neal solo, performing "We All Need Some Light," a Transatlantic song with Mike Portnoy, during his Testimony DVD. Epic, yet restrained:
