FOXTROT

This has to be Genesis at their peak, a truly classic album dominated by the astounding Supper's Ready, a patchwork of short pieces stitched together into one fabulous tapestry, Gabriel's vocals mesmerising throughout and complemented by some wonderful instrumental work from a group of creative musical geniuses who were young enough and fresh enough to scale new heights. I also remember Watcher Of The Skies being a common room favourite at college, where we'd stick the album on, crank the volume way up and wait for that fabulous driving bass riff to kick in. Years on and it still kicks ass - another favourite that I never tire of playing is Can-Utility And The Coastliners - was any five minutes crafted better than this?
