Subject: Top 10 Post Gabriel Genesis Songs
Date Posted: August 15 2020 at 07:38
I'm making this thread not only because it was requested, but also in order to provide more insight into Genesis's post Gabriel songs (you will notice the entirety of Psychedelic Paul's current overall top 5 Genesis songs are from the 1971-3 period). I was even thinking of restricting it to post-Hackett as the TOTT and W&W tracks might be the only ones chosen, but I even saw a post saying Mama was an incredible song, so who knows what the future may hold!! (Squonk19, perhaps?  )I have also decided to make this a top ten poll, because why not? I'll be adding up the songs by points in that nice, efficient way Psychedelic Paul does it.  1st song - 30 points 2nd song - 20 points 3rd song - 15 points 4th song - 12 points 5th song - 10 points 6th song - 6 points 7th song - 5 points 8th song - 4 points 9th song - 3 points 10th song - 2 points My top ten: 1. Mama (30) 2. Home by the Sea/Second Home by the Sea* (20) 3. Los Endos (15) 4. Domino (12) 5. Duke's Travels (10) 6. Squonk (6) 7. Fading Lights (5) 8. One for the Vine (4) 9. Follow You, Follow Me (3) 10. Duchess (2) With Turn it on Again at a close 11th place.  *Home by the Sea/Second Home by the Sea is only accepted as one song, since they basically are the same song.  ------------- "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" - Robert Fripp "I am an anti-Christ" - Johnny Rotten |

Thanks for the mention, although at the moment, I can only come up with three post-Gabriel songs:- 1. Ripples (30 points) 2. Follow You, Follow Me (20 points) 3. One for the Vine (15 points)

By the way, I'd normally list two songs separately in the poll if they both happen to have the same number of points. Like this:- 1. Mama (30) 1. Ripples (30) 3. Follow You, Follow Me (23) 4. Home by the Sea/Second Home by the Sea (20) 5. One for the Vine (19) 6. Los Endos (15) 7. Domino (12) 8. Duke’s Travels (10) 9. Squonk (6) 10. Fading Lights (5)

Yes, I'm experiencing Ripples of excitement at the thought of my favourite post-Gabriel Genesis song actually going on to win this poll. Annie Haslam of Renaissance performed an even better version of the song, in my opinion. |

Here are the first 10 that come to mind Turn It On Again Behind The Lines Just A Job To Do Domino No Reply At All Ripples No Son Of Mine Eleventh Earl Of Mar Afterglow Land Of Confusion I love the pop era as well. It's all great. Except ATTWT is a little lacking to me, like they hadn't figured out how to move on from Hackett yet, and the second half of WCD has a lot of filler. The rest is pretty much gold straight through for me. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me.

My top 10 consists of tracks only from the first 3 post-Gabriel albums, though Heathaze, Turn it On Again and Keep It Dark would make it if 13 equaled 10. In rough order of preference: 1. One for the Vine 2. Ripples 3. Entangled 4. Blood on the Rooftops 5. Burning Rope 6. Undertow 7. Mad Man Moon 8. Snowbound 9. A Trick of the Tail 10.Afterglow |

| I'm kind of stunned so many people are voting for the dreary "Heathaze". This song sounds like an outtake from Tony's A Curious Feeling album and absolutely destroys the momentum created by the first five songs on Duke. I can see this song functioning as a "b" side for a single, but it absolutely did not belong on Duke. At least it's not as bad as "Please Don't Ask". |

Always interesting to see how one person's dud is another's favorite. I note that practically every track on ATOTT, W&W, and ATTWT was named by at least one person on this thread (and the majority from Duke and Abacab) so now we know that whenever we accuse these albums of including some fillers, we are insulting the taste of someone on this thread . Maybe it speaks to the quality of Genesis' work during these years that almost every song has at least one fan here. The one I'm a bit surprised has not done better is Squonk. I remember that one playing on the radio quite a bit, at least in Montreal. Then again, we're still waiting for a tally.

I bet the sheer fact that Squonk got any radio play has people ignoring it subconsciously, lol. I could've put a ton of prog stuff in my list, but I had a feeling everyone else here would do that and I wanted to show some more of the great pop years some love. For my money Genesis didn't release a dud album after their headscratchingly uncharacteristic debut, though I'll admit I've never heard Calling All Stations (would be interesting to see if anyone mentions anything from that record in this thread). ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :) |

I love both Heathaze and Please Don't Ask. The former has an achingly yearning chorus that really sees Collins step into his own as a dramatic balladeer, with a lyric I cannot forget: "the trees and I are shaken by the same wind, but whereas the trees will lose their withered leaves, I just can't seem to let them loose..." Powerful. The latter shows an early example of Phil's excellent knack for writing about failed relationships, and especially for embodying someone who knows things have gone bad and sincerely wishes to make them right again, but just doesn't know how. It's the resignation of knowing things won't change juxtaposed with the desperation for something better, plus Rutherfords sexy guitar licks painting a new warm color in Genesis' often icy canvas. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :) |

Maybe we should rename you Sacro-Pop then 😁. Good reflections on Phil Collins. He certainly has a knack but I still prefer the writing of Banks and Rutherford generally. Why Banks could not come up with better material as a solo artist is a mystery to me. |

I thought this was going to be the opposite: Top 10 post-Genesis Peter Gabriel (i.e. solo), which would have been interesting, instead of the tired old poppy "Genesis" from the 80's and 90s.
Moribund the Burgermeister, Mother of Violence, I Don't Remember, etc. Maybe no one really cares about that music.

Actually it seems many of the top songs overall are from the late 70s but I for one like a lot of Gabriel solo stuff and would be happy if someone started a discussion on that. |

I don't understand your comment. First of all, almost all tracks in this poll are from the 70's. See on page 3 for the last top 10 : 1 Dance On Volcano 242 2 One for the Vine 216 3 Blood On the Rooftops 178 4 Los Endos 163 5 Ripples 148 6 Eleventh Earl Of Mar 140 7 Entangled 133 = Mad Man Moon 133 9 Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers...In That Quiet Earth 120 10 Duke's Travels 114 Maybe we could update this top someday... And I love Genesis from the 70's, but also some tracks from the 80's and 90's. Same thing for the Peter Gabriel solo stuff! And... I also love many Nino Ferrer songs!

Ha! That's fair enough. For what it's worth, it was the prog era that made me first take a real interest in Genesis, though I had known their pop hits for many years. I just happened to discover that I quite like every era of this band, just the players and the kinds of music they like to make. One of my absolute favorites! ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :) |

What I'm wondering is, if there were a post-Hackett version of this thread rather than just post-Gabriel, would people put in the entirety of ATTWT before even considering Land Of Confusion, or That's All? ------------- Porg for short.

Love Gabriel's solo stuff. Melt is a masterpiece through and through, and So has a lot of emotional replay value for me. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :) |

Admittedly I've never listened enough to any album
post-W&W/Hackett, to really to have really gotten a whole lot of the
songs under my skin. I "like" 80's genesis and own most of the albums
as well (up to and including their self-titled), but I never actually
choose to listen to them. My only recollection of Abacab is that
"Keep it Dark"-video and I remember thinking that Jude Law must get the
role as Phil Collins if they ever made a biopic or a "Bohemian
Rhapsody/Rocket Man"-styled Genesis-movie. So no real surprises here I
suppose... Dance On A Volcano One For The Vine Home By the Sea/Second Home By the Sea Entangled Los Endos Unquiet Slumbers For The Sleepers... That's All Mama Eleventh Earl Of Mar ...In That Quiet Earth |

you know, you can start that discussion, create a poll or a thread, or is it you want someone else to do it for you?

I thought it was time to have another tally for
this poll and since Father Christmas does not seem to be around (I hope he is
doing well!), I took it upon myself to do the math, which admittedly has left
me with a slight headache. I was as careful as possible, but any one is
welcomed to check in case there are any doubts. A few minor caveats to consider
first: - It was agreed in some cases that two tracks would count as one (i.e.
Unquiet slumbers/In that quiet earth, Duke's travels/Duke's end, Home by the
sea 1&2). This may have given these tracks an advantage as some voters seem
to be voting just for one or the other of the two, but generally this should
not have played an important factor - Psychedelic Paul originally voted only for 3 songs, but later named
all the tracks from ATOTT plus Your Own Special Way and Follow You, Follow Me,
without providing a ranking. So I only included his 3 top songs, but it would
be easy to adjust if he decided to rank his top 10 - A FlowerKingCrimson included 11 songs by squeezing in two songs at #5
(nice try J), so I ignored his
last song - Rednight provided a list organized from 1-10, but said these were not necessarily
in order of preference. However, I counted them as if they were in order of preference
as I could see no other way to include them. So, here are the best post-Peter Gabriel Genesis songs and their scores according to the educated tastes of 33 ProgArchives voters (I thought it would be interesting to see the songs beyond just the top 10, so it’s a top 20 list): 1. One for the Vine - 328 (very appropriate title for the #1) 2. Dance on a Volcano – 290 3. Ripples – 253 4. Entangled – 216 5. Blood on the Rooftops – 198 6. Los Endos – 173 7. Mad Man Moon – 172 8. Eleventh Earl of Mar – 155 9. Duke’s Travels/Duke’s End – 141 10. Mama – 138 11. Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers/In That Quiet Earth – 136 12. Home by the Sea/Second Home by the Sea – 135 13. Squonk – 114 14. Burning Rope – 75 15. Down and Out - 71 16. Afterglow – 69 17. Behind the Lines – 66 18. Heathaze – 62 19. Dodo/Lurker – 60 20. Undertow – 47 Bubbling under are Turn it on Again (46) and Domino (44). A few observations. While it is not surprising that the highest scoring tracks are from the first two post-Gabriel albums, since this is after all a prog site, many if not most voters also included songs from Genesis’ more mainstream periods in their top 10. In all, 55 songs received at least one mention in a top 10 list, including all from ATOTT, W&W and ATTWT, most from Duke and Abacab, and several from Genesis and Invisible Touch. I think only one track from their last album received a vote: Congo from Calling All Stations. People may be familiar with the top 10 list of Genesis songs
compiled by Prog Magazine ( https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-ten-best-genesis-songs-according-to-prog-readers" rel="nofollow - The
10 Best Genesis Songs – voted for by Prog readers | Louder (loudersound.com) ,
supposedly voted by 40,000 readers. Interestingly, the only two post-Gabriel
songs that made that list are Ripples (at #9) and Dance on a Volcano (at #10),
which seems pretty consistent with our little poll, with the important
exception of One for the Vine coming in first (incidentally my #1 as well J). |

I see I posted on here a while ago. While I still stand behind my top ten, "man of our times" is one that has grown on me. I've also always liked "man on the corner" although it's not quite a top tenner for me. Others that don't quite make it for me are: Down And Out Follow You Follow Me Silver Rainbow Mama Congo Fading Lights Misunderstanding Turn It On Again (although it could make my top ten now or at least maybe number 11) Duchess (not sure how it didn't make my initial top ten but it probably would now) Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (this was played to death on the radio but I really like the middle part especially)

Entangled/inside and out (non LP track)/ Dance on a volcano/Los Endos/Eleventh earl of Mar/ Unquiet slumbers... quiet earth/Squonk/Duke's travel... duke's end/Wot gorilla/ Mad mam moon ranking is useless |

Ranking?! You are the only one thinking about it. Just list 10 songs you enjoy/love.

Lots of people have been ranking their choices from 1 to ten, and it started off with listing your choices in order of preference and having the OP tabulating the results -- the OP has been gone for over a year -- and Paul took over, and of course PhilChem's contribution. I too often prefer not to rank my choices and instead just list them in any order (often preferring not to make sport of art -- not having these things as games or sort of contests). EDIT: I do have a number one in this case, and it is Blood on the Rooftops. My list, and I will rank them this time even if I could easily change the order and some listings: 1. Blood on the Rooftops 2. Ripples 3. Entangled 4. One for the Vine 5. Squonk 6. Los Endos 7. Mad Man Moon 8. Deep in the Motherlode 9. Dance on a Volcano 10: Burning Rope |

yes you did, but you were worried about rankings which in this case, you should not.

Haha, I calculated the ranking of all the songs because this was after all what the creator of this thread, Father Christmas, had intended. It was just a fun thing to do, and one should not take it too seriously. For those who care, it does help to show which songs from an artist/band appear the most appreciated within the Prog Archive community (or at least those who participate), which is perhaps a fairly representative microcosm of prog listeners generally. For those who don't care, no harm done.
