Favourite Genesis track

[rouseytastic]

Driving the last spike

I'm a drummer and the drums is this track are literally breath taking!! The live version is also excellent.

Wettest day ever at Milton Keynes Bowl, October 1982.

Yep - I was there and still have items of clothing that I can't get dry.

But enough of all this 'Supper's Ready' and 'Lamb Lies Down On Broadway' guff - surely the greatest track is the seminal 'Paperlate'?

Genesis? Genesis? nope never heard of them

I almost forgot that you are such a big Phil Collins fan

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

I almost forgot that you are such a big Phil Collins fan

all joking aside, more a fan of the other bloke, ol watsisname?, Gabrial Pete, love that untitled album with car on the front, Solsbury Hill, Moribund The Burgermeister, Here Comes the Flood etc, although it does sound like a Genitals album

we gettin a beer today/this evening?

If leaving me is easy (Which is a Phil Collins song, not genesis. Still love it though )

Love Genesis. Got their DVD from their 2007 tour for Christmas a couple of years ago. Favourite songs would have to be No Son of Mine, Follow You Follow Me and Domino.

Jesus he knows me. Not ashamed to say it's one of my favourite songs!

[Twizzle]

Supper's Ready. Basically the 2nd side of Foxtrot.

This, with a nod to 'The Knife', and 'Watcher of The Skies'

Gabriel era was it. Land of Confusion was alright I thought, but not alright enough for me to buy it.

 

[Acker79]

I like the big ones of late in their phil collins run (land of confusion, I can't dance, invisible touch, jesus he knows me) and quite like Congo from the brief run with Ray Wilson, but my favourite would be 'Misunderstanding'.

oxymoron

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Snowbound.


Or if you have genesis revisited, the steve Hackett album, you have your own special way with paul carrack. Modernised and really excellent track

 

[cheshunt seagull]

Suppers Ready, The Lamia, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight, Musical Box....definite preference for the Gabriel era.

I totally agree.

Phil Collins was dreadful when he was in The Genesis, but I have to admit that he seemed to really flower since leaving the band.
His solo work has been at worst impeccable and at best superb.

I felt that while he was in the band setup, he didn't get the full attention that his ability deserved. Margeret Rutherford got too much attention.

.

I don't often resort to this, but that is total bollox. They went downhill as a band after Phil Collins started getting into solo albums and morphed into a Phil Collins backing band.
