In my opinion, the worst Genesis song is "I Can't Dance". Collin's voice during the chorus is just so awful.

No disrespect, but are you a flaming PG fan? 

for your entertainment from a Phil Collins fan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMiDhmL_zFo&feature=related


lol you know nothing about my musical taste.

Bad music is bad music regardless of which of them sings it.  But Invisible Touch is on a whole new level.

No I don't know anything about your music taste and you don't know mine but I think you are one of the many people who hate on Phil because he is not a Peter Gabriel clone

No simply because it was pop music

Illegal Alien. It's clear the boys just didn't have enough steam in them to complete the album with something worthier. Just horrible. Give me fingernails on the chalkboard in its place. I hope Tony Banks has come to some kind of peace with himself after first realizing his band actually released the song. Shame on you, sir! As for Collins, he was doing anything by that time. (Remember his production of Adam Ant?)

Suppers Ready is an absolute CLASSIC and probably influenced more of the prog - 1980-the present day than most other tracks in the progressive era....
It suffers from you young-uns listening to the super-slick modern recording studio productions and then listening to the some-what dated sound equipment of the seventies.
It's like comparing modern CGI with the original King-Kong.....
If somebody re-recorded SR - it would be AWESOME!
That's quite possibly the funniest post I've ever read on PA.

I've only heard 5 albums (and 2 live albums), and the only song that I've heard from those albums that I ALWAYS skip is: I know what I like

Supper's Ready is overrated? *gasp!*

I think the song is the Mozart of prog.  Epic story and lyrics, classic keyboard, and omg Peter Gabriel's vocals at the close of part 2 -- a "cathartic climax"

I haven't heard anything post Wind & Wuthering so I couldn't really say. I'm sure the post-Hackett stuff isn't that bad.

Well Supper's Ready is overrated

Like I said there's not many Genesis songs I hate. Ok, so Like It Or Not could have joined Who Dunnit? for least favorite for Abacab for example, but I like it just slightly more than the latter.

I really really like this song with its uptempo, main riff, odd times, the agressive vocals, the doodle-keyboard parts etc. It reminds me of early prog metal songs in the 80ies. The ATTWT is not really good, but IMO Down and out is the best track from this album.   


When I consider all the songs from ATTW3 this one just isn't as good as the others.  For me its musical progression  from verse to chorus feels a bit too awkward and the entire song is a bit noisy, my favorite part of the song is the intro where Mike's guitar comes in.

But you have Burning Rope, The Lady Lies, and Deep In the Motherlode as "bad" songs on your list. Those are my favorites!

We do agree that ATTW3 is not one of the bands best, perhaps someday I'll rank the albums, but that's for another thread. These Genesis threads don't come around that often, y'know! Wink

"The Battle of Epping Forest", without question. Twelve minutes of meandering tripe. 1/5 of an album. Think of all the poor little vinyls that had to be sacrificed for that waste of space.
