Genesis

Post by hansx »

Ok, another band which deserves their own topic.
The latest rumors on this great band are that the last box with the sacd/dvda of the Gabrielperiod is postponed till september. Shame.
Another rumor is that they booked the O2 in London in september. Hope this rumor is true. should be a nice birthday present for my 50 years. :lol:

Used to like Genesis but slowly went off them over the years. I still like a lot of the earlier stuff up until about Then There Were Three and some of the stuff after that is also pretty good but these days it doesn't interest me that much.

Genesis are superb up to about DUKE and then commercialism drove the band/record company imo. Still bought all the albums though.

Top 5

5) Duke

4) Trick of the Tail

3) Lamb Lies Down

2) Then there were Three ( teenage womanising years :lol: )

1) Seconds Out (Greatest Live album ever :?: )





LOVE all the albums up to about Duke though!





PS Bring back Gabriel :wink:

Hmm, funny that you say this. Nearly all the albums you mentioned are without Gabriel.
Of course they made great albums without, maybe even their best, but the Gabriel period overall is their best period.

PS He honey, Supper's Ready.

aye hans funny that.................thinks its because got into Genesis after Gabriel left, first album would have been Seconds Out or Trick of the Tail I think.


Later worked my way back through the other classics. As I say love them all 8)

Gabriel wins hands down on vocal quality, not to keen on Collins personality and attitude either to be honest.

I am still a fan since Foxtrot, so nearly the beginning. I like Collins, he is funny and his vocals are not too bad, but the gabrielperiod gave us more complicated songs and those are the ones I like more.
