 Topic: Question to you about Genesis !
Posted: August 11 2005 at 09:27 |
Try to tell me your favourite album after Gabe´s departure. Try to tell your least favourite album in Gabe era. And now try to compare them, which do you prefer and why.
And ONE IMPORTANT RULE: NOT From Genesis to revelation PLS :-)
My favourite album after Gabe´s departure is Trick of the tail, but iam not able to say the worst Gabe´era, i love all of them, but you are maybe able to do that !

My least Gabriel Genesis:hmm,that's interesting,almost none (of course,except FGTR)
My favourite Collins Genesis:A Trick Of The Tail
So,you're right Titan Gabriel Genesis is spotless,while Collins Genesis contains many,many,many flaws..

Trespass???One of my favourite!
Without Trespass after FGTR I would have probably dumped Genesis...

Hmm, it's really hard to rank the Gabriel-era Genesis albums as they're all great. I guess Trespass probably would be my least favourite but that's not to say I don't like it.
As for post-Gabriel, I prefer W&W to TOTT.

btw. ricochet: and do you like FGTR ? I like it, it is not as perfect as 70-75 era, but better than many Collins era albums (80´s) :-)))

I
think it is a good debut album for Genesis,indeed better than some of
Collins' Genesis albums like Abacab,We Can't Dance,but what followed
after this album until 1974 is of no comparison...It's insanely good!!!

Worst Gabriel Era album : Trespass
Best Collin Era Album : Trick of the Tail
They are similar in quality in my opinion. Both are great 4-star albums.

Nice to see the bonding between you guys.
I like Trick of the Tail best aftre Gabriel left.
The worst in Gabriel's era is a difficult one.
It must be the worst of the best. I like them all. Then I probably will choose Selling England by the Pound. But don't tell anyone.

A.- My least favorite album from Gabriel's era is "Selling England by the Pound", is the first one in which they try to be more radio friendly, I find softer than all the previous, Steve's atmospheric guitaris reduced (Except in Firth of Fifth). This by no reason means is a bad album, by the contrary it's excellent, but IMO Genesis lost the darknes and mystery of Trespass, Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot. I always saw SEBTP as a twin album with "A Trick of the Tail" (My least favorite release from the short Collins/Hackett Prog' era).
B.- My favorite post Gabriel album is by far "Wind & Wuthering", starts with two semi epics ("Eleventh Earl of Mar" and "One for the Vine") and has great tracks like "All in a Mouse Night" and the extremely beautiful Blood on the Rooftops, if it wasn't for the cheesie"Your Own Special Way" would be an almost perfect album despite the boring vocals by Phil Collins, a return to the root, and also the album that has the biggest contribution of Steve Hackett as a composer, but still bellow the level of every Gabriel era album.

I agree - if we skip FGTR, Trespass seems to be the "weakest" studio
effort during the gabriel era. However "the knife" is a killer song.
IMHO Genesis live is the weakest "gabe" output. It doesn't provides a
thrilling live atmosphere and the songs are not superior to the study
versions

My least favourtite Gabriel Genesis is Trespass, very weak album!
Favourite Collins? Maybe Trick Of The Tail.
For me TOTT wins that one very easily, as I find Trespass comploetely uninspiring.

Personally I think the live versions are far superior!
