Yeah, I know it's a classic and all that, a groundbreaking influential album, but does anyone actually like it?

I listened to it again yesterday and today and hated every single second. Collins vocals are too pretty-pretty and classically intoned (and I don't like some of her melody variants) and Graham's "accompaniment" is fussy, striving, invasive, self aggrandising and annoying - as well as being very iffy as to timing against the voice.

Lots of wizard technique but nerve-scraping to listen to.

But there again I listened to a Fairport sampler from back then too, and that was cringeworthy too.

Maybe I'm just getting TOO grumpy.
