I have no problem with the 3 member Genesis band, as long as they don't sing "I can't dance" arghhh in this case I much prefer to hear that frog song Paul McCartney "bum bum bum hurry up ;) " xxxx

the equation is short songs = not prog

in reality its short songs = not symphonic prog

I like Pros & Cons as well.

Seriously, though, how anyone could liken "Down and Out" to bubblegum pop, even in jest, is beyond me...

Sorry, mate, I'm one of "the bad ones"...I actually prefer the Banks-Collins-Hackett-Rutherford incarnation to the one with Pete.

Funny how this album really polarises opinions.

I was watching a Genesis interview about Invisble Touch on Youtube the other day. Some of the comments read like the script from American Psycho. "The very best album they ever made. Their early stuff was crap" That kind of thing, and I think they were serious!

Yep! Agree about Down & Out. One of their best songs!

^In all fairness, the studio version was heavily treated with recording effects that are impossible to replicate live, but it's a good effort.

^^^ Thanks. Yes I have heard that and the studio version is better.

I think they did play Squonk on the Duke tour.

They opened with Behind the Lines on the Abacab tour on many dates. That's quite a work out for a opener imo.

Just a pity that Chester plays like he's in a coma

the album version has that bit of 'zip' this track needs. Opening tracks at gigs can be a bit too 'safe'. Squonk was always a better opening track because it suited the safe approach but I assume by this time it had been dropped from their live set. 

Thanks anywayWink
