Any love for Genesis here?
Ok I will admit it I do have a vested interest (see my signature) but just wondering if any gentle folk here are fans of my favourite band?
I must warn you now that I am an "All Era" fan....But I do understand why folk stop at "Duke"
Favourite albums are
We Can't Dance
A Trick Of The Tail
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Duke
Wind And Wuthering
But that order changes daily
Best wishes
John

I have a great "like" for Genesis, heh.
I love peter gabriel so that is the genesis I like best, but
I LOVED duke. and yeah...it did kinda stop there for me,
tho Seconds Out was cool (with one of my all time favorite
drummers, bill bruford)
I do love phil collins too, but not enough to purchase any
of his solo stuff. great drummer and excellent singer.
thought he filled the bill quite well in that regard and
some of his singles are classics (in the air, against all odds,
cheesy lover [loved the two phils video], and separate lives)
yep duke was prolly the last actual genesis I bought tho I
did like a couple tracks on wind & wuthering.
and i'm sentimental about duke because when it came out I
was working a 3rd shift driving gig and used to listen to it
while driving all night. (yes with the windows rolled down,
singing along at the top of my lungs....TURN IT ONNNNNN,
turn it on turn it on again!)
I have several solo peter gabriel albums (1,2, 3, & So)
(humdrum and modern love being 2 of my all time favorite songs)
AND I am a steve hackett fan as well and have owned Please Don't Touch in one format or the other (cassett, cd, digital) since it came out. it remains one of my all time favorite albums.
(omg richie havens and randy crawford vocals!!!!)
so yeah...

Great stuff....Seconds out is my all time fav live album and captures the band brilliantly. I am off to see Peter play the whole of the So album in October and also Steve Hackett playing his Genesis Revisited tour two days laterlucimay wrote:I have a great "like" for Genesis, heh.

I like them...the early stuff especially, and "Lamb" I love...in my personal top 25. Later they were hit and miss, but still occasional stuff.
Not a fan of Phil solo, really.
But I like Hackett enough to have a couple solo works, and I even once owned...maybe still do, somewhere...GTR,
Gabriel, though...I have it all. Everything. First person I ever went to see twice on the same tour. The "So" tour was one of the best ever, by anyone.

I missed his So tour, but going to see him recreate it in October. One of my all time fav CD's
The Lamb in 5.1 is amazing.... My band plays In The Cage and The Carpet Crawlers.

how's this...
I like a couple of tracks on wind & wuthering but didn't buy it. duke was prolly the last actual genesis I bought. in fact, duke is the ONLY genesis album I ever bought.
better?

Heh, I remember trying to get Luci interested in the Gabriel era; I sent her a link to "I Know What I Like", and then spent half an hour convincing her the hairy gentleman behind the drum kit was in fact Phil Collins!

Now I have to go and buy all his solo cd's.

Have recently been playing a lot of Genesis, I have really enjoyed listening to stuff like Suppers Ready and Cinema Show which was pure genius; I only wished I'd been more attentive at the time: seeing Genesis was a two a penny deal as they would gig anywhere and everywhere. I first saw them playing down the list in a small farmers field neat Tonbridge; we all bought bales of straw to sit on and later to stay warm. I can't remember any of the higher billed bands. I saw them support other mini festivals but didn't really pay them much mind until Lamb Lies Down was released.
I thought that when PG left some thing went with him but the room allowed other things to grow; I really rate TotT and W&W.
The other track I really got into was Domino on Invisible Touch the louder I play it the more I hear; the peak of Genesis for me.
