drbirdsong Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I heard Follow You Follow Me on the radio yesterday and it just floored me when that synth solo kicked in. Abacab is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg2112 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 QUOTE (BigBob @ Feb 17 2012, 12:53 PM) I always loved listening to Genesis every since I was a little kid. My family for some reason couldn't stand Phil Collins, so I kept me admiration for Genesis in the dark. I just found out about a year ago that Peter Gabriel used to be lead singer. Since then Genesis has become one of my favorite bands! So what's some of your favorite Genesis Songs? Here's some of mine in no particular order: Keep it Dark Me and Sara Jane Follow You Follow Me I can't Dance Supper's Ready (both Studio and Seconds out version) Firth of Fith "In the cage" melody from 3 sides live Musical Box Abacab They've got such a big catalog of songs, so let's hear some yours With the exception of I Cant Dance Im right there with you on the songs you listed. I love the Gabriel years, but find myself listening to Three Sides Live-Abacab and the Genesis (shapes) albums the most. Love early 80s Collins-era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in a good way. Its an excellent song, no matter when it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sawyer Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Don't know if I mentioned this above, but... THE KNIFE. More metal than anything Genesis ever did - easily the best track from the first 3 albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be The Musical Box Perhaps The Knife is more metal, but TMB is a better song The Knife kicks TMB's butt! Listen to The Knife from their 1973 Live album. It will knock your socks off. SO heavy!! Been a huge Genesis fan for years, ever since I was little. I used to air drum all the time along with their albums.......okay, I'll admit I still do sometimes. When I finally got to see them on their 2007 reunion tour (which was better than I initially expected to be honest) I was so ecstatic and happy. Here are some of my favourite tunes: The Knife The Musical Box Supper's Ready Firth Of Fifth The Cinema Show (that ending instrumental section is amazing, live its even better) The Lamb In The Cage Back In NYC Carpet Crawlers Dance On A Volcano (that intro, and THOSE BASS PEDALS) Squonk Los Endos One For The Vine Afterglow (my all time favourite Genesis song) Down And Out The Lady Lies Follow You Follow Me Turn It On Again Duke's Travels/Duke's End Abacab Keep It Dark Dodo Man On The Corner Mama Home By The Sea/Second Home By The Sea Just A Job To Do Silver Rainbow (this song along with the above tune is quite underrated) Land Of Confusion (most people dismiss this as pop shite, but I say its one of the most rocky songs they ever did, its pretty heavy and Phil has quite an aggressive vocal on it) Domino No Son Of Mine Dreaming While You Sleep Fading Lights Driving THe Last Spike The Dividing Line (yes I know its from Calling All Stations, but this track is quite good, with some powerhouse drumming from Nir Z on it. Live its a monster with a dueling guitar intro. Check it out!) An honourable mention goes out to Fountain Of Salmacis which I feel is an underrated Gabriel era song. Those swells of Mellotron throughout are beautiful, and Steve Hackett has a nice solo at the end. I love a lot more songs than that, however I would be here all day typing them so those are just a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge fan of the Collins-led Genesis, and the self-titled album is my personal fav. It's right up there for me...never get tired of it. That bridge is awesome.

Tommy Sawyer Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Oh my gosh. Supper's Ready. Listened to it 2.5 times today. Without a doubt, could easily maul any other Genesis song in a death fight. One of the few symphonic prog epics to provide REAL emotion and perfect marriage of rock, symphonic, and lyrics.

GrandDesigner Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I never minded In Too Deep all that much, but Tell Me Why and Hold On My Heart are drivel. I can't imagine why they wasted setlist space on the 2007 tour with HOMH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and to me, that's when they stopped being Genesis and turned into Phil Collins' Motown-wannabe project. Or as I like to call it, Selling Out Genesis By The Pound.

bigman208 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Actually in an interview on one of their concert DVD's , you'll hear Tony Banks say that HE was the one who came up with the chords to Hold On My Heart. Phil only wrote the lyrics. I can see why they put it into the setlist in 2007. After the roller coaster ride of the In The Cage Medley, and before Home By The Sea, they needed something to give the crowd a rest (and a trip to the bathroom) and IMO that was a good song to do the job.

I reviewed the 2 shows I went to in 2007 in the reviews section, and I mentioned how handy Hold On My Heart was for a WC break. It has no other use. Well maybe one other. It might have some white noise style interrogation properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
