I like your list! Including Fading Lights a very poigniant song that can bring a tear to your eye knowing it would be the LAST Genesis song. Might want to listen to Stagnation a couple times, it may come out topping your list.

I just re-read the 5 things about Genesis. I see Hacket Hacket Hacket, but my IMMORTAL is
1. Anthony Phillips - wrote "The Musical Box and Fountain of Salmacis" as well as All of "Trespass" an album which I hold dear.
2. Peter Gabriel. His vocals on Stagnation and the Musical Box were the most impressive I had ever heard. His emotional and vocal tones were unique, TWILIGHT ALE HOUSE
3. Banks Banks Banks, his keyboard wizardry especially Supper's Apocolypse in 9/8..........
4. Collins - Supper's Ready....short drum roll at end? Though Second's Out version IS great by all means "Chester Thompson couldn't do the drum roll (one of the most difficult drumming techniques there is). And Phil's pounding out of Musical Box and doing the alto Supper sections behind Gabriel.
5. Hacket/Rutherford - Rutherford does a magnificent job of bass notes throughout, but have you heard them lately on "Please Don't Ask?" Follow Michael on that one, just beautiful. Besides, his peddles on Firth of Fifth and Can-Utility. Hacket? What a hack lol. I'm still pissed at him for leaving.
I had never heard prog before Genesis, I started late, I heard Carpet Crawl then delved in and back-tracked. OK it WAS 32 years ago Lol

An impossible task.
1. Squonk 2. In the Cage 3. Back In NYC 4. Entangled 5. Musical Box 6. Supper's Ready 7. Behind the Lines 8. Follow You Follow Me 9. Afterglow 10. Dancing With the Moonlit Knight
It would be easier to pick their worst songs, as there isn't many. These are just the titles that give me goosebumps.

all have contributed with nice lists of songs and that I think is nice,
also good to hear all the different elements people find in one band, that is what is nice with prog bands, they cover many layers (in the audioable sphere), which differs from ear to ear, and moods is different to each individual.

Five things I love about Genesis
Tony Banks
Steve Hackett
Peter Gabriel
Mike Rutherford
Phil Collins
Genesis created a unique brand of progressive rock strong on imagery and theatrics.
They pushed the boundaries of the live experience.
Their music is emotional amd dramatic.
Technically one of the best bands of the seventies. |
Can't really put it any better than that...
My five songs...actually I'll have ten, as the thread starter says that's ok....
Suppers Ready
Chamber of 32 Doors
Firth of Fifth
In the Cage
The Lamia
Dance on a Volcano

Also this I could not say better. I also like the influence of Bach on their music. (Even if they do not say it, so it sometimes verges on plagiarism as on 'Horizons').
