Digital Dad Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Phil is still my fav drummer of all time. his duets with Chester back in the day are literally the only drum solo's that don't bore me to death. Mick Thats nuts. The drum duets are great to each their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I like Phil Genesis more than Peter Genesis.Me, too. What album is best to try with Phil up front? Like...I've heard most but none stood out to me to play twice. I would take just one and play it more than once.A Trick of the Tail for overall prog. Duke for prog into pop.These and Abacab are gems. I can't go on a Phil-Genesis 3-album listening run and feel energized. A similar run of Gabriel-Genesis leaves me fatigued. The Gabriel era brilliant moments are brilliant-er, but as a whole I find prolonged listening a bit tedious. That's true for a lot of early 70s prog, actually.This pretty much sums up my opinion. Energized is a great way to describe it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 Genesis have taken a while to hit me too, but I've really been getting into them lately enough to justify them being a possible fourth or fifth favorite band. I agree with Mick about Supper's Ready. I didn't get it at all at first, didn't even like it much. Now every time I listen to it is mesmerizing and emotional. I mostly changed after I gave it a second chance and read some slight explainations of the lyrics online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genesis6. Invisible Touch7. We Can't Dance8. And Then there Were Three Mick Edited June 19, 2016 by bluefox4000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 I've get some mixed feelings about SEBTP. On one hand, it sounds absolutely brilliant and has extremely masterful playing, but most of the songs don't capture me the way they do on Foxtrot or Nursery Cryme. They all start out great but most seem to kind of go nowhere. But I'll give it a few more close listens and wait for some other shred of brilliance jump out at me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are about 4 of them and they rehearse sections of the album going in and out of each other. Pretty cool stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djflex Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I love genesis. I am mostly a fan of the post gabriel stuff because i just am lol. Wind and wuthering, duke, abacab and trick of the tail and s/t are all classics to me. Seconds out is also one my favorite live albums. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
