I think there's nothing wrong with it. Greg's always been a Xmas man. Note: one of those videos where a dude plectrum-picks and fingerpicks at the same time.

Have to say being an ardent Genesis person from their early beginnings until after Duke (of which only parts I like) That any song such as 'Misunderstanding', 'We can't dance', 'Illegal Aliens' etc etc are truly not Progressive tracks at all.
But more like Phil Collins ballads and mixed up pop music.

Any other music videos from Prog bands that made your appreciation for said artist go down?
 
I'm wondering if you think that the lyrics to that song are something of a love song, or "YOUR" idea of what a Caribbean Moon is?
 
There is a massive difference, and folks like Kevin, came out of the "beat" generation with a lot of literary folks, and the basic idea of going to the Carebbean is for a nice vacation and sunshine ... not a black hole and ...
 
Kevin's humor is very English ... I'm not sure that everyone will get this, or appreciate the humor behind it.
 
I like it ... a video has to kiss my bunnies, too, now!
 
The humour of it was completely lost on me. 
 
A lot of English humor goes right by most people ... don't feel left out, because you just missed the next joke!
 
You are better off sticking with Mr. Bean reading the dictionary for you ... trust me ... it's good, and the meanings are not esoteric, strange or totally un-american!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

^ Misunderstanding to me is where Genesis made the transition from Prog Band to Pop Band. Its Phil's "collapsing love song". The video was very similar to what you would see on MTV today if it still ran videos constantly. A guy trying to win his girlfriend back, isn't that really what every current #1 pop song is about on a very basic level.

^ I thought the video for "Misunderstanding" was OK. It's fa-a-a-a-a-ar from being the worst prog video.

@HolyMoly: More like one of the funniest prog videos I've ever seen. Funniest =/= worst. Bravo, Anderson and Barre. Thank you, Steve.

Okay, a lot of 80's videos were ridiculous, but this one is a pearl in its genre.

This one's kind of hard to watch.  But again, video production values were different in the 1970s.


Low quality video of an average JT track. I like both the track and the video though. Typical IA humor displayed. Not sure the video was made in the '70's though. 1980 would be my guess, as the band on the video is the same guys that recorded "A".
