Hatchetaxe&saw Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Sometimes I think progheads don't realize how hard it is to write a good pop song. Listening to a good pop song can be just as challenging and rewarding as listening to a prog epic. "No Reply at All" KICKS ASS!Agreed, though I could do without the horns in No Reply at All. All I am saying is give horns a chance. Again, listen to what the man said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatLightInYourEyes Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) One thing both era fans can agree on is that Mama is a fing classic of theirs. PC always delivers the goods when it comes to his darker songs like that and In The Air Tonight. Totally agree. PC can do the dark, complex stuff very well and i wish he continued with it. His first solo album was great, as were some tracks from his early Genesis front man days. I just wish he hadn't sold out into marshmallow fluff after that. :sarcastic: Edited November 26, 2013 by ThatLightInYourEyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Well, well, well. http://www.progrockm...ntions-genesis/ Me happy. Agreed. This is something to look forward to. Wow, this is simply fantastic...I hope this possibility turns into a reality. New music from Phil, possible Genesis music and dates. Can you even imagine how incredible a full reunion and performance of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway to celebrate it's 40th anniversary would be?

goose Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I'm watching the documnetary "Genesis: Sum of the Parts", and they're just now describing the impact that the addition of Phil Collins had on the band. "I never ever could have imagined the difference a drummer could make." Phil.Neil.Bonzo.Stewart. The Mount Rushmore of rock drumming? http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg293/goose_trf/MountRushmore_zpsyagxqhsp.jpg Edited January 24, 2015 by goose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderfinger Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yeah, I agree Phil is one of the all-time great drummers, so musical and creative. Love his playing with Brian Eno and Steve and Peter solo too. As for the new documentary, I'm watching it for the second time now, and man does it piss me off. They revere Anthony Phillips as though he was the most sacred Genesis member, and then proceed to kick Steve to the curb. It's BS. Sure, give Anthony his overdue credit, but what the F is Tony's problem with Steve Hackett? Steve played on Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Live, Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, A Trick of the Tail, Wind and Wuthering, Spot the Pigeon, and Second's Out—what a run! And still they treat him like he was nothing to the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Don't forget Brand X. I get the feeling and always have done that nothing gets thru without Tony Banks' approval. If he doesn't want to play Gabriel era stuff or if he wants to give Hackett short shrift he can get his way. That's fine and good but it doesn't lessen the impact this music and these musicians had. Maybe he doesn't appreciate Hackett going out and doing Genesis shows on his own. Banks still gets paid for not playing that material but maybe it just doesn't sit well with him. Even still I love most of the music Genesis ever put out. I even thought Calling All Stations had some great music on it. Beats most stuff Mike or Tony have done on their own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I don't think you need to call him names. He can definetly be petulant though ill give u that. Hes a great keyboardist and wrote some pretty incredible stuff with Genesis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.is certainly up there with the best rock drummers and while his performances with Genesis are superb,what is always overlooked are his contribution to the brilliant Brand X.Great jazz rock,and on the odd occasion you get the voice of Collins too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Wind and Wuthering is my favorite. I like Nursery Crime and the self-titled one as well. Actually the only one I never warmed up to was the one without Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm one of the few who Loves collins era. they made my fav album. Trick of the Tail. Gabriel did some classic stuff but for whatever reason.......i could never get fully into it. The run from Trick to Genesis is it for me. the exception being the weaker And Then there were Three.
