"The Musical Box." I mean, what the crap is up with that song? Sure, "Watcher of the Stars" was cheeezy and pointless, but at least it was catchy and headbanging. "Box" is thoroughly unmemorable.
Oh, and "Epping Forest" is awesome. LOADS better than that "Supper's Ready" rip off known as "Cinema Show" that gets all the press. |
It's funny, but I've always thought of Cinema Show as a Musical Box ripoff.....

Further proving that Genesis is just a bunch of great silly men! The only good song they were ever able to do was "Steam."

Actually, when Gabriel goes for his flute, it seems they may be skeezing off another early prog band.

I recall a line from my (never to be submitted) Selling England review:
"The flute is just okay, Ian must not have been feeling too well that day...oh, wait, this is Genesis! Then the flute's pretty good, yeah."
