[MUSIC]Genesis

Pfft. You didn't even reply to the RHCP thread you started.

 

I used to be a huge Genesis/Phil Collins fan.

Favorite songs include:

Silent Sun
Home by the Sea
In too deep
Carpet Crawlers
Many too many
Mama
Taking it all too hard
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight
Turn it on again
That's all
Follow you, follow me

In The Air Tonight
Against all Odds
Easy Lover
I missed again
If leaving me is easy
I cannot believe it's true

 

I like Peter and Phil
but in Genesis . .. I was Phil
didn't get into them until then

Rocket River

 

I cringe when I see or hear him singing something like Against All Odds or Susudio or some Disney tune. Such a waste of talent. Such a great influential drummer shouldn't be singing ballads. Get back behind the kit, Phil.

 

I like the Phil Collins-led Genesis. At least some of their stuff anyway. And it's much better than Collins' solo material. Just compare "Man On the Corner" to "Another Day In Paradise". Similar subject matter, but the former is about 1000 times better than the latter.

Other Genesis songs I like:
No Reply At All
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight
Land Of Confusion(love the Spitting Image video)
Jesus He Knows Me(also had a great video)
I Can't Dance(again, great video)
Misunderstanding

 

Recently started getting into older Genesis. Outside of the greatest hits CD that I've been listening to since I was a kid (which is probably due to nostalgia) I don't really care as much for their pop 80s stuff. As I said in the other thread I think Duke is their last really great album before prog took a backseat to pop. And Then There Were Three is a fantastic album start to finish, it does not get enough love.

 

Ok, well, I didn't bump it, and somehow I missed it first time around.

Love Lamb Lies Down, Duke, Abacab... not so much Susudio era.

I think there's been another Genesis thread lately, discussing a return, but was surprised I hadn't posted in this one.

 

Phil Collins is the man
