Genesis, I'm not that big a fan of I Talk to the Wind. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

| I talk to the wind is by no means a pop song. |

This particular Genesis song is way better than I Talk to the Wind, which isn't even a pop song. ------------- http://hanashukketsu.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow - Hanashukketsu |

"I Know What I Like" is one of my least favorite Genesis songs. So I voted for the other one. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Everytime I listen to "I Talk To The Wind", the surroundings are felt like they've turned into a theatre stage where the air is quiet and still while the trees is but a flat decoration. It's like I'm walking in a world where time stood still. |

| I Talk to the Wind hands down, definitely not a pop song in my opinion. |

Hmmm, tough one. I really like both.
I'll go with I Know What I Like, just for the fact that it has less votes. -------------

I guess we could call I Talk to the Wind a pop song because it has a good melody and a standard structure. Too soft for the charts, though, and too beautiful. If they released it as a single it would probably have gone nowhere. It got my vote, by the way. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

I talk to the wind sometimes, and we've agreed to vote for I Talk To The Wind. Neither of us are huge Genesis fans.

I talk to the wind doesn't engage me as well as I know what I like. I love the bright harmonies and energy of the latter, where the former seems a little lethargic to me, though still good. ------------- Follow me down to the valley below. Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul. -Lazarus |

I know what I Like is the song that introduced me to GENESIS, simply loved it, but lately I press the skip button when it's played on CD or video. So I vote for "I Talk to the Wind". Iván -------------

Peter Gabriel just annoys me on that track, and I Talk To The Wind is beautiful, so that.

| I know what I like; it's a nice pop song on a great prog album... and for me it doesn't harm the album at all. I talk to the Wind is a nice song, perhaps, but it's taken me longer to apreciate it, and I'm still not quiet a fan of that song. |
