Heh, I feel like I'm the only one here who actually likes Phil
Collins's solo stuff. Don't get me wrong though - Yes' CTTE is my
favourite album - but I do like a little bit of pop from time to time,
no matter how shameful it may be.

Just to clarify, I require only 90 minutes of (light) repose per 24 hour period. I can run 75 miles or more without rest, survive extreme temperatures, require minimal sustenance, and derive all necessary moisture through reclamation from my own respiration. |

Well, as counter-intuitive as this may seem, I think Invisible Touch was the best (read: least bad) Genesis album after ...And There Were Three. I mean, it had four horrible songs, but four that were ok or actually good: Tonight Tonight Tonight, Domino, Land of Confusion, and the Brazilian. |

Always been a tie for first for me (most hideous Genesis line) 1. Ballad of Big -"Big and his men were jumped by an all-star Indian tribe"...What the...? 2. Please Don't Ask - "Oh, you lost some weight I can see, your hair looks nice, you look good"
So, essentially, two things commonly come to mind for me with Duke....the horrendous 'weight' line, and how Duke can twist his left hand around like that on the cover (guess it's easy, I'm just too brittle for the slightest contortion) |

I have ton agree with Kirkklott, Duke makes me sick. I accept it's slightly better than ATTW3 but that doesn't mean a thing because both are bad. No Gabriel and Hackett......No Genesis Ivàn |

Dear Felona, My friend, gentleman, scholar: I am in the Rocky Mountains USA - a different hemisphere and ergo a different time zone. I have just arisen from a long night's slumber: refreshed and rivatlized from a deep repose, ready to once again defend my position, and assault/attack if necessary.

Alright, well that's half the album. That's like saying this would have been a lovely meal, if half the plate hadn't been covered with sh*te. |

Well, here's my tip: if you want to get the only good track from Duke, which is Duke's Travels Duke' End, get the Genesis Archive 2, which you can find for as low as $10 on ebay. Because you'll also get these tasty b-sides and live versions, a few of which feature Hackett and Bruford: CD ONE 3. You Might Recall ( CD TWO: 72:42 CD THREE: 69:37

"Duke" could have been one of the greatest Genesis album if there weren't songs like "heathaze" or "please don't ask", "alone tonight", and the stupid arrangements on "turn it on again" make it sound too poppy (it could have been a great song, the live version in "three side live" is better). Half of the album is very good : "behind the lines", "duchess", "man of our times", "cul de sac" It could have been a concept album with a good story. But the aim of the group at that time was to begin to sell out ! And it got worse after that. |

I liked Duke, in fact, I even liked Invisible Touch.

Well, I love Duke. Fantastic album. Very complex rhythm patterns on the Duke suite, lots of great compositions. Lots of emotional highs. Great percussion on Duchess. Nothing wrong with it. Absolutely nothing. |

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson
