Mad Man Moon.
|
|
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Mad Man Moon for me. I was completely spellbound the first time I heard
it. One for the Vine is good but it doesn't reach down inside me the
same as Mad Man Moon.

One for the Vine easily. This one is just as good as any longish song from the Gabriel era. I also like Afterglow a lot, though. And I sort of like "All in a Mouse's Night", but I would rather it had different lyrics... they are fun all right, but they turn me a bit off anyway.

Banks strength is is composition, rather than lyric writing. I think a lot of his lyrics are rather weak. All in a Mouses night is awful |
I voted for Mad Man Moon , just a stunning track and completely faultless
One For The Vine only really excites me on the live version when you have the two drummers playing the instrumental section. On the studio version it just doesn't get going and Collins drumming is very 'stiff'

+1 (Mad Man Moon). Agreed about it.
Second vote would be for All In A Mouses Night, but I like it most for that such a beautiful instrumental melody which closes it pompously.
I feel the same about One For The Vine, what really impressed me was that beautiful melody at the final part, subsequently closed with the piano.
Afterglow I feel it has some sentimental value, it was one of the first Genesis songs that I happened to know (besides ATTWT) much time ago, the one played in the Seconds Out show, which featured another drummer whose name I don't recall - the exciting final drums session of Afterglow in that show still moves me.

I think the song A Trick of the Tail is the weakest track on a superb album. Though, to be fair, Robbery, assault and battery tries to give the title track a run for its money!

Trick of the Tail needs some love. I'd have chosen it after One for the Vine.

One For the Vine gets my vote, and I'll give some love to All In a Mouse's Night - I like its whimsy.

Very difficult decision between Moon and Vine.......

So I'm another one of these few, of course I like all of his albums, and of course Curious feeling is a masterpiece as an overall and conceptual piece of art.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I always kinda liked heathaze and cul de sac from Duke and the lady lies from And Then There Were Three... (i think that one was a banks tune wasn't it?)
I've always gravitated to the banks tunes on genesis albums.
i thought the 'a curious feeling' album was wonderful. (shrugs)
on this one, mad man moon, was my choice.

I love Afterglow and Mad Man Moon is also great one. But I cannot vote here for any other song than One For The Vine. Fantastic epic song, probably their best after Gabriel's department.
