Spot, especially about Roxy, they still sound brilliant, probably sounding both futuristic and retro

just one point

''They could also groove which Yes and Genesis couldn't in a million years. Nothing more alarming than the sound of Jon Anderson and Steve Howe trying to rock-out.''

Yessongs -once they got rid of Bruford, certainly a great drummer but seemingly incapable of keeping a simple 4 to the floor beat without filling the spaces with jazzy bippity boppity stuff, Yes actually had a groove, a pretty stiff middle class whiteboy groove but a groove non the less.
checkout out the latter parts of Yessongs or Going For The One

Genesis never grooved, Phil Collins does a nice motown pastiche though [ha ha only joking]
