Bigbobby10 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Well, another band thread, this time it is Genesis, recently I've been listening to them more and more, and I have been loving it. It is hard to say who I like more though, Phil or Peter. I think Phil is better though in the long run, but a great band, not really a lot i dislike from them so far. Opinions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djflex Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 No question they are awesome. Mostly i still listen to the post gabriel stuff. Duke , wind & wuthering , abacab , trick of the tail and the self titled are my favorites 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dwarf Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Genesis seem to have divided opinions on this forum over the last few months.Which period of the band do you prefer,The Gabriel Years or The Collins Years?I don't have a problem with that particular question as i like both eras.Favourite albums include Trespass, Selling England by the Pound,The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway,Wind and Wuthering,and Duke.Will be interesting to see that now PC has come out of retirement,will Genesis become active in the next few years and tour again! I suppose it all depends if Phil can drum again and will be able to tour with his own band first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I was never able to get into these guys. Too much keyboard and pop, not enough guitars and rock. I suppose Trick of the Tail has some good stuff on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one they did really good with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) I love pretty much everything that Genesis did. Some of it more than other but none of it is bad. My favorite era is still Phil Collins. They quit being quite as pretentious and started writing more melodic songs after Peter Gabriel left.

Verena Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) I grew up listening to this band. It's still among my favorites and always will be because it introduced me to rock 'n roll. How can I forget Tony Banks' keyboards in Firth of Fifth?? - It's such an indredible sound. I used to appreciate Peter Gabriel, but perceived Phil Collins made an excellent work. I can't choose between them too. Tresspass, Nursery Crime, Foxtrot, A Trick of the Tail, Wind and Wuthering, Abacab, Genesis and We Can't Dance are my favorite albums.

Everyone is gonna debate Phil vs Peter (YAAAAWWWWN) but I am most certainly not. There was is good and bad with both eras. You either love or hate one or both. Who cares. Genesis is one of my favorite bands of all time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Right now listening to "The Cinema Show" from Selling England by the Pound, which is my favorite Gabriel era album. Their sound really came together on this one I think. More polished. Edited November 29, 2015 by circumstantial tree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I actually like their very first effort: "From Genesis to Revelation" from 1969. Definitely a late 60s pop vibe on it. I really like this particular tune "A Place to Call My own" Edited November 30, 2015 by circumstantial tree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I only listen to Peter Gabriel Genesis. I did follow Genesis post-PG but only to Wind and Wuthering. I tried but just could not get into Genesis without Peter. My last Genesis show. http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w276/custom55/IMG_7662_zpscpcmimxb.jpg Edited November 30, 2015 by custom55 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm going to be a THREAD KILLER!!!!! Oh and I am dead serious. "CALLING ALL STATIONS" IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS EVER MADE!!!!!! It's up there next to "Hemispheres." If "Shipwrecked" doesn't make you shed a tear then you have no heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
