No disrespect, but are you a flaming PG fan?

Now what's wrong with violent lyrics it's what makes a song interesting like the knife is a song I highly acknowledge in genesis's catalog

Which, I think is a tough question.  Mine would probably be "Knife" because of the violent

Funny you should mention it Juan. I'm a huge Gabriel fan but the vocals on Suppers Ready are not very good. There's even a video about why they are poorly sung. He wasn't using his diaphragm as the MILF in this video clearly explains.

@hobocamp: I'm not a fan of the studio version of Suppers Ready. I prefer the live version with Phil Collins on vocals from Seconds Out. It is way better than the Peter Gabriel performance. Maybe you will have the "aha-moment" with this version :-)

I kinda like your list Juan. Heavy on the Lamb, my fav, and not ashamed of Abacab. I would have swapped Suppers Ready with Epping Forest however. Suppers is slow simple and sluggish to me. Epping took a while and some nice noise cancelling headphones, but I'm still waiting for that aha moment with Suppers...

I am bored a little bit, so I made this list of "good and bad" Genesis Songs of the studio albums and no b-sides or sth. else. Don't blame on it and make your own list, if you have the "right "opinion.....

I don't normally condone a violent assault with a deadly weapon but in this case there would have been strong mitigating circumstances.Approve

I have to say "Invisible Touch" is the worst Genesis song IMO.
The music and lyrics are so 80s pop.  Well duh, cuz it was the 80s lol.

"I don't really know her, I only know her name
But she crawls under your skin, you're never quite the same
And now I know
She's got something you just can't trust
It's something mysterious
And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her"

I rest my case . . .
