GTR
Biography
Like most supergroups, GTR didn't stay together very long -- only one year and one album with 1986's GTR. Comprised of guitarists Steve Howe (Yes) and Steve Hackett (Genesis), vocalist Max Bacon, bassist Phil Spalding, and drummer Jonathon Mover, the group didn't deviate from the progressive rock of Howe and Hackett's full-time bands. Nevertheless, the group managed to have a number 14 hit with "When the Heart Rules the Mind," and their album went gold. However, Hackett decided to go solo after their success, and his departure put an end to the group. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Gtr was a great band and I was upset that Howe left and they couldn't go on. This band was a relief from the hair bands of the 80's. "Sketches in the sun" almost sounded like 2 guitars. Then I saw them live. WOW!

GTR was a great band - too bad they didn't last too long. Their debut album was incredible. "When the Heart Rules the Mind" - need I say more?
