Nice link, Dean, thanks. I've always liked that song. In addition, Genesis were always more than the debut Bee Gees pop pastiche they were made out to be in god knows how many articles. That's why they went on to be so successful and creative. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org |

It is normal in a prog forum that the most members would choose tracks mostly from the 70ies Genesis era. But if you have to elect only songs from the 80ies and 90ies, what are your faves? Or should I expect a prog cliche, that a "real prog nerd" doesn't listen to the pop music era of Genesis? ------------- http://www.lastfm.de/user/SSsebastian/?chartstyle=SidebarPlain" rel="nofollow">

Nice point of view - Lady Gaga together with Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett.  But the idea is quite good, that has never been done - an actual Progband or supergroud like Transatlantic should cover a bunch of successfull popsongs in progstyle with oddtime signatures and extened solos....------------- http://www.lastfm.de/user/SSsebastian/?chartstyle=SidebarPlain" rel="nofollow">

A while back on another forum I listed my top 50 Genesis tracks, in order. Thought I'd share them here. Just consider #11 - #50 to be "off topic" if you're a stickler for adhering to thread topics. I figured it would be much more annoying to start a new thread (Top 50 Genesis Tracks) when the basic topic's been raised several times already. 1. Watcher of the Skies
2. Looking for Someone 3. Dancing with the Moonlit Knight 4. Down and Out 5. Turn it On Again 6. Supper's Ready 7. Firth of Fifth 8. The Cinema Show 9. Return of the Giant Hogweed (Genesis Live) 10. Eleventh Earl of Mar 11. Keep it Dark 12. Deep in the Motherlode 13. Behind the Lines 14. Dodo 15. In the Wilderness 16. Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers...In That Quiet Earth 17. The Carpet Crawlers 18. Visions of Angels 19. Second Home By the Sea 20. Hairless Heart 21. Undertow 22. Abacab 23. Afterglow 24. Entangled 25. Dance on a Volcano 26. Stagnation 27. Musical Box 28. Burning Rope 29. In the Cage 30. Dusk 31. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway 32. One for the Vine 33. In the Beginning 34. Mama 35. Counting Out Time 36. Duchess 37. Man of Our Times 38. Los Endos 39. It 40. Ballad of Big 41. Duke's Travels 42. Fountain of Salmacis 43. Squonk 44. The Lady Lies 45. Can-Utility and the Coastliners 46. Misunderstanding 47. No Reply at All 48. Land of Confusion 49.

In order of "favoriteness": 1) Musical Box 2) For Absent Friends 3) Harlequin (oh, yeah!) 4) The Return of the Giant Hogweed 5) Seven Stones 6) Fireside Song (or Looking for Someone = Visions of Angels, if you beg for prog) 7) In Hiding (or The Fountain of Salmacis, again, if you beg for prog) (6 & 7 are from the debut, huh? Sick.) 8) Cinema Show 9) Supper's Ready (surprise to me) 10) The Serpent What the heck? First five are all from "Nursery Cryme?" And I think those Trespass songs are equal in power and work for me in the same way. Go ahead and flick me. Plus, I don't think it's fair to rate all of Genesis' tracks because, you know, it's apples and oranges. |

Quite a controversial list you got there. Hairless Heart beating Stagnation, Musical Box, In the Cage, One for the Vine, Fountain, and Coastliners. Impressive...... I'm actually not a massive fan of Watcher of the Skies. Sure it's great - but i prefer Get 'Em Out By Friday to it. I might make my top 25 of something. I just think i'd bore others and myself by filling it with Gabriel material. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |
Posted By: HolyMoly
Date Posted: March 12 2012 at 22:13
Yeah, it might seem strange, but I still think it represents honestly what are my favorite songs to listen to. I REALLY love Hairless Heart, always have. And Musical Box just doesn't thrill me as much as it did 25 years ago. Hey! Where's the Knife? Gee whiz, I left that one off altogether.... I may need to re-think that actually, I'm not really sure I like "Land of Confusion" more than The Knife... or do I?I actually first listened to Genesis in the early 80s, when "Abacab" was all over the radio. They were one of the coolest, smartest, most reliably good pop bands around. I didn't even get into the Gabriel era until several years later, though I was dimly aware of it (I think my dad had the Foxtrot LP), so I've always had a soft spot for the Phil years.

Of course your entitled to your own opinion and personal preference, I was just sort of surprised that you would pick those songs over a song of such legendary status and acclaim from Genesis fans and the Prog community.  -------------

Posted By: Dayvenkirq
Date Posted: March 14 2012 at 00:14
I know . I bet this happens to lots of people. You might have already seen someone pick Hairless Heart over all other classics ... or something like that. It's just that to me Supper's Ready sounds a bit better than Atom Heart Mother, the track. I believe someone said that if all people had the same opinion, the world would be very boring ... or something like that.

Glad to see Mad Mad Moon here, simply unbeleivable compositional genius from T. Banks on this. one could study
his chord progressions here for years, a true masterpiece of music.
Ok, my answer is:
Everything Genesis did from Nursery Crime to Duke, but to stay on topic I will provide 10 songs in no particular order:
Suppers Ready (Seconds Out version)
The Cinema Show
Firth of Fifth
Dance On A Volcano
Squonk
Mad Mad Moon
Eleventh Earl of Mar
The Fountain of Salmacis
One For The Vine
and for number 10:
The entire Lamb Lies Down album

I'm glad SOMEONE picked The Lamia, but all together: (no order, as it's impossible to choose the BEST Genesis song) Firth Of Fifth Squonk Blood On The Rooftops The Lamia The Musical Box The Colony Of Slippermen Supper's Ready Duke's Travels/Duke's End (if you consider that one) The Cinema Show Mad Man Moon |

| Nevermind, many pages with many Lamia choices. But nonetheless, I like the variety, I didn't even think about Domino. |

I'm glad there's someone else who likes it. I REALLY like Genesis first album, but there are approximately 10 people in the world who like it as well, i guess. FGTR has beautiful atmosphere, i can't help loving it. The songs -their tunes are remind of waking spring after the long winter. It's not foxtrot, but it's great. ------------- Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

^ I wouldn't say ten people, but ... relatively few people on the globe. Edit: BTW, listening to "Fireside Song" and "The Serpent" right now.

Here would be my top 10 Genesis songs (in no particular order): 1. The Musical Box 2. The Return of the Giant Hogweed 3. The Fountain of Salmacis 4. The Cinema Show 5. Dancing with the Moonlit Knight 6. Watcher of the Skies 7. Supper's Ready 8. Firth of Fifth 9. One for the Vine 10. Dance On A Volcano This was quite difficult as there's so many more that I would have liked to have added like The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, it, Eleventh Earl of Mar, Cuckoo Cocoon, Afterglow, In the Cage, Get 'Em Out By Friday, among others.

| ^ You know what some people would do? Add the whole "Lamb" (the album) as one freaking song to such a list. True that. |

Yeah, but that's just a bit obsessive to me as I think The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is one of their weakest overall. Now, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England By The Pound, A Trick of the Tail, and Wind & Wuthering, on the other hand, it becomes increasingly harder for me to narrow down favorite songs as there's so many that enjoy from these recordings.

Fotrot? You mean there's a Genesis album out there I've never heard? The Lamb is my least favorite of the Gabriel years (if you don't count FGTR) and the Hackett years. There are some really good songs on the album and I absolutely love parts of it, but as a whole piece of music, I think it is weaker than everything else between Trespass and Wind & Wuthering. The Lamb is responsible for one of my favorite Genesis pieces (although only appearing live): In the Cage/Cinema Show/Slippermen/Afterglow medley (this also happens to be my favorite medley of all time as it could almost qualify as simply a 16 minute epic in its own right). ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Typo corrected. There are parts of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway that I love: In The Cage, the title track of course, Hairless Heart, Cuckoo Cocoon, Carpet Crawlers, The Colony of Slippermen, among others, but it was just too much for me. A bit daunting for sure. If I had to pick a favorite Genesis album, it would probably be Foxtrot for the simple fact that I thought the band was really at the top of their abilities as songwriters. Tony Banks never sounded better IMHO. Hackett was, as usual, incredibly creative and, though, Nursery Cryme displayed his abilities as a soloist and accompanist to great effect, it was on Foxtrot that I thought his sound was fully integrated into the group. A case in point Watcher of the Skies where he has some tasty guitar licks and awesome volume swells.

....but, for me, the one Genesis song that encapsulates everything that is wonderful about the band is The Musical Box. In this regard, I agree with the guy who runs Genesis fansite The Waiting Room. ------------- “Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music.” - Sergei Rachmaninov |

Um...no. When they went pop, I was incredibly disappointed, but I knew it was all over when Hackett left the band.

..And Then There Were Three is really where I cut the line from Genesis. Undertow and Down and Out would probably be my favorite songs prior to Hackett's departure. If you like pop music, I suppose they were good at doing this commercial stuff, but I don't like pop music or else why would I be on a progressive rock forum discussing this kind of music? For me, they wasted their talent for the almighty dollar which is what many great musicians have done and continue to do.

I don't think they did it to earn a buck, I think they all wanted to move on, make something different. Oh, and the forums aren't all about prog, really. In the General Music and Just for Fun sections we talk about everything from prog to noise, and from j-pop to free jazz. ------------- http://bit.ly/1kqTR8y" rel="nofollow"> The greatest record label of all time! |
