Well, why not yet another pointless appreciation thread? Especially for Genesis? I'll start it off with the great would-be-song... ------------- "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" - Robert Fripp "I am an anti-Christ" - Johnny Rotten |

ok, one request please don't post studio versions songs videos we've all heard most of their albums. Live versions are fine I guess. Maybe rarities from their Archives are fine, too.

@Cristi, does that mean we can't post videos of Mamma and Illegal Alien?

There are so many Genesis threads in the appreciation section of this site that when you do a search it maxes out without even making it to the original Genesis appreciation thread. It isn't like they need their own appreciation thread, given that this whole forum is essentially used for that purpose. -------------

You said it! (no offense, Rush fan...)
Ok. I suppose this is allowed? (it's a live medley) Yet another would-be-song, one of Genesis's many, many live medleys. We could probably do a Top 20 Genesis Live Medley poll. ------------- "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" - Robert Fripp "I am an anti-Christ" - Johnny Rotten |

well, don't you think it's more or less pointless to post studio versions songs of such a famous band? Rarities and live songs I understand. You can post a link if you want to, if it helps your post/point of view, etc.

^Yes, I agree - everyone knows Supper's Ready, they don't need reminding. And actually, maybe I could do a poll on Genesis's live medleys - I don't think that's been done before. ------------- "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" - Robert Fripp "I am an anti-Christ" - Johnny Rotten |

Thanks - and another thing I don't think has been done before (voting on songs A-Z). Maybe we could do that too, I don't know. ------------- "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" - Robert Fripp "I am an anti-Christ" - Johnny Rotten |
Posted By: Cristi

how many medleys are there? I think I know three - Three Sides Live, The Way We Walk - The Long Ones Medley and the medley from Love Over Europe, a bit different than the one on Three Sides Live.  |

Yes, they're both 5-tar albums for me, even at the risk of being accused of overrating them.

I am listening right now. The first album seems to have a lot of variations in arrangements. Some better, some not. Yeah Christi, people have got to get up early in the morning to fool you.

Ohh yay!!! Another Genesis thread! This site needs a GORT to monitor duplicate threads....I'm so happy! ALL GENESIS is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! If you slam any era of Genesis or complain about being too pop, you have little appreciation for great music. One of the greatest band lineups ever: Peter Gabriel Mike Rutherford Steve Hackett Tony Banks Phil Collins -------------

Struggling to think of something meaningful to say (okay that never stopped me before lol) .. they are in my favourite top five band of all time , but actually I would prefer their very obvious massive influence to be de-bunked a bit. We have far too many imitators

He initially seemed to play around with some of the arrangements, especially Firth of Fifth, but having see him live for the last 4 years, they're now pretty faithful and, live, they're brilliant. Nad Sylvan even does a pretty good job of covering the Peter Gabriel vocals, which I personally believe to be mission impossible :-)

Yep, the Hackett albums are excellent, his band are **** hot. Nice to hear the latest one with a live version of Battle of Epping Forest (which I like despite what some people say). Not to mention a live version of "More Fool Me"!

^^ Hackett's live band and albums are really great. They're probably the nearest you can get to a new Genesis record. We were talking about Genesis live medleys - here's a Steve Hackett live medley at LA: ^It's a great order, all the songs flow seamlessly into each other. Just as great, in my opinion, are Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited albums. The live band are brilliant - featuring a very Gabriel-esque singer. Supper's Ready, Genesis Revisited: ^Great performance - especially in the battle section.

Hmm, methinks they need to play that in a lower key for Nad. It sounds better on the CD.

Now I know why the term "been there done that" was invented. Believe it or not I'm still in the process of rebuying Genesis cds. I have about maybe half of them. I just need a few of the later ones(everything in between abacab and calling all stations)and all the live albums except "the way we walk volume one the shorts" and I'll be up to speed. Also, need the box sets.
