And I haven't even mentioned "Unquiet slumbers ... for the sleepers in that quiet earth". Well, now I have...

This is one of his better moments on the album; but to be honest Phils shaky sweet vocals are the highlight in One for the Vine for me!

His playing wasn't bad on Wind and Wuthering but in my eyes he did better with the earlier prog albums like Selling England and Foxtrot. Perhaps I was a little harsh on him but W&W isn't his best.
