Re: Genesis

So was there a main writer in Genesis ?

I would have thought so.

Re: Genesis

Phil Collins was an excellent replacement for Peter Gabriel and with Steve Hackett on guitar, they continued to be a prog rock band. Seconds Out is a sublime live album with the standout being Supper's Ready. Duke was the last album they did that was actually progressive with the best tracks being Behind The Lines, Duchess, Man Of Our Times, Turn It On Again, Cul-De-Sac, Duke's Travels and Duke's End. Also check out Mama which I first heard at my uncle's house when I was 11, Home By The Sea, Tonight Tonight Tonight, Domino and Fading Lights.

Phil Collins was already there though wasn’t he ?

Didn’t he just take over the singing duties as well ?

Re: Genesis

Shame you lost interest as they were about to release their two best albums....trick of the tail and wind & wuthering

It is after those two albums that I lost interest in Genesis. It did not matter about Phil Collins having a solo career and working along side Genesis (They really started to sound as bad and cringe full as each other). Phil also began to get too personal I really started to hate their sound more and more as the 70's became the 80's.Fake electronic drums did not help their cause.

Still I will agree that Wind and Wuthering and Trick Of The Tail were the last of the great albums they released.

We are in agreement, i'm going to see them in November just hope they will resist the temptation to play "the hits"

I watched Phil Collins with his band and backing singers in his 2004 Montreux concert it was a fab concert with Phil obviously talking to the audience in French

[beccabear67]

The later Genesis I didn't like much because of the clangy synths production, some of it was really irritating. I have always liked Phil Collins' voice though. So everything from the start up to the mid '80s and then I start wanting to weed out the clangy bits with effects. There were a lot of artists sounding like that back then, not my favorite time for music.

[Shot By Both Sides]

I was raised primarily on Genesis, Yes and Pink Floyd.

A Trick Of The Tail is my favourite album by anyone, EVER!
