^ I kinda put it in the same league as the ‘fondant pap’ you speak of, but I do like some of this icky sticky substance they churned out in their later years.

^ Yes, it's conventionally mainstream 'pretty' but nonetheless for me, exquisitely beautiful (but maybe not anyone's idea of bona fide Prog composition) I guess it represents an example of what presaged Gabriel's eventual estrangement from his colleagues which is kinda ironic given the fondant pap they went on to churn out much later

^ I’ve never seen the appeal in The Carpet Crawlers. One of the weaker moments off The Lamb for me. I just find the song very ‘ordinary’. Not having a go, but many folks seem to like it a lot.....

^^ I bought and read Phil Collins' book too, titled "Not Dead Yet", with a cover featuring a cheeky chappie knowing smile from Phil.

If Genesis is coming to Finland somewhere in the future, have to think coming to see them. Just because never seen them (really would like to see Gabriel in vocals and Hackett in guitar, but it´s very possible never happened).

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

I agree - I've enjoyed seeing the lists and suggestions develop on that thread. |

I agree. I think the Peter Gabriel era was the best Genesis era too, but "Trick of the Tail" and "Wind & Wuthering" are both surprisingly good albums without Peter Gabriel at the helm. Genesis completely lost my support after the "Duke" album though.
