I have found the list of essential Genesis recordings to be severely lacking. I would have supported these masterpieces, instead:

1. Foxtrot
2. A Trick Of The Tail
3. Nursery Cryme
4. Duke
5. Genesis

I do not, nor have I understood why "Selling England By The Pound" is so popular among "progressive rock" enthusiasts, other than 'Firth Of Fifth,' 'Dancing With The Moonlit Knight' and 'I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe),' what else does it have going for it?

I am mentioning Genesis, because I have been listening to 'Duke' lately.

Congratulations to Steve Hackett. This was a proud moment for Genesis fans. Any chance Yes will be re-nominated for the 2017 inductions? And how about next time, inducting them? Anyways, thanks for reading and congratulations to Genesis once again.

Anthony Phillips On Working With Peter Gabriel & What's Next For Him

Posted by Roy on Monday, 11/27/2017 @ 13:23pm

Wow, I am simply amazed that I have written nothing previously about Genesis on this page. The fact is this- unlike Rush, Yes and The Moody Blues aka the “holy trinity” of “prog,” Genesis is not one of my favorite “prog” bands. Although I like some of their earlier work and enjoy much of Peter Gabriel’s solo work, Genesis had never wowed me as much as those aforementioned prog maestros. Nonetheless, if I had to rank my favorite Genesis studio albums, it would go somewhat like this:


01. Foxtrot (1972) (*****)
02. Nursery Cryme (1971) (*****)
03. A Trick Of The Tail (1976) (*****)
04. Duke (1980) (*****)
05. Genesis (1983) (*****)

06. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974) (**** 1/2)
07. Abacab (1981) (**** 1/2)

08. Invisible Touch (1986) (****)
09. Trespass (1970) (****)
10. Wind & Wuthering (1976) (****)

11. And Then There Were Three (1978) (*** 1/2)
12. Selling England By The Pound (1973) (*** 1/2)
13. We Can’t Dance (1991) (*** 1/2)

14. From Genesis To Revelation (1968) (***)
15. Calling All Stations (***)


Although no Genesis albums are truly wretched, not every one of them are brilliant either. As you can plainly see, I am not particularly enamored of “Selling England By The Pound,” either.

Posted by Enigmaticus on Tuesday, 07/24/2018 @ 10:47am

Ben,

I would like to say that Genesis' induction in 2010 had been a huge moment for the "prog" genre. However, Genesis has never really ever been one of my top 10 favorite progressive rock bands. They are certainly in the top 20, but definitely not in my top 10.


However, I do happen to like quite a few of Genesis' earlier albums, in addition to their later more pop-oriented trio material. I happen to think that "Abacab,"(06) and "Invisible Touch" (07) are really good albums. However, I happen to prefer "Genesis" (05) and "Duke," more than any of the aforementioned recordings. In fact, "Duke" is probably 4th on my list of favorite Genesis albums overall. My top 3 are: "A Trick Of The Tail" (03), "Nursery Cryme" (02) and "Foxtrot" (01). Unlike many of my fellow "prog" aficionados, I am not a huge supporter of "Selling England By The Pound," (12) although I really like 'Firth Of Fifth' quite a bit, I definitely like 'Dancing with the Moonlit Knight' and I do not dislike either 'I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe),' 'Cinema Show,' 'More Fool Me,' or 'After The Ordeal,' however I absolutely strongly detest 'The Battle Of Epping Forest.' In fact, it is in second place amongst my least favorite Genesis songs, with only 'Back In N.Y.C' from "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" perhaps being slightly worse. Therefore, I would give "Selling England By The Pound" a rating of (*** 1/2). On the other hand, I prefer "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" (08) much more, expect for the aforementioned 'Back in N.Y.C.' (which I absolutely detest) and perhaps 'Counting Out Time,' which I am not extremely fond of either. Nevertheless, I would rate "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" at (**** 1/2). By the way, I have never owned Either "We Can't Dance," or "Calling All Stations."

So, here are the Genesis studio albums which I have owned and my respective ratings and rankings:

12. Selling England By The Pound (1973) (*** 1/2)
11. ...And Then There Were Three (1978) (*** 1/2)

10. Trespass (1970) (****)
09. Wind & Wuthering (1976) (****)

08. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974) (**** 1/2)
07. Invisible Touch (1986) (**** 1/2)
06. Abacab (1981) (**** 1/2)

05. Genesis (1983) (*****)
04. Duke (1980) (*****)
03. A Trick Of The Tail (1976) (*****)
02. Nursery Cryme (1971) (*****)
01. Foxtrot (1972) (*****)

Well, what do you think?

Why did Chris Martin feel the need to make fun of Phil Collins during his Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction speech for Peter Gabriel?

Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 03/11/2020 @ 07:20am

Because making fun of Phil Collins is an easy thing to do in rock. But i do feel like taking a religious text and saying things from it that are not the correct things at all and saying things that it would not say at all and using it to mock someone when the bible tells you to love everyone is crossing a line.

Now that it's been a decade since Genesis was inducted into the establishment, and reading some of the asinine comments, Granted, if you don't like Genesis why troll this page?

Back to Genesis, Genesis was a "seminal" influence on members of Rush, Queen, Iron Maiden and Talk Talk to name four extremely influentially popular bands.

Progressive Rock has often been met with scorn by critics and music listeners, yet I've often felt that for as much as I love Genesis, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Jethro Tull should've been in before Genesis as they were far more popular worldwide while Genesis didn't exactly become a household name until the band became a trio.

Ben,

Yesterday evening, the discussion had been about the best and worst Genesis albums on "Sea of Tranquility" for 'On the Prog Seat.' Of course, I had arrived rather late to the discussion, so I chose not to engage.


By the way, In 8 days, I will be 60 years old (not that I am counting) LOL!

I would like to say that Genesis' induction in 2010 had been a huge moment for the "prog" genre. However, Genesis has never really ever been one of my top 10 favorite progressive rock bands. They are certainly in the top 20, but definitely not in my top 10.


However, I do happen to like quite a few of Genesis' earlier albums, in addition to their later more pop-oriented trio material. I happen to think that "Abacab,"(06) and "Invisible Touch" (07) are really good albums. However, I happen to prefer "Genesis" (05) and "Duke," (04) more than any of the aforementioned recordings. In fact, "Duke" is probably 4th on my list of favorite Genesis albums overall. My top 3 are: "A Trick Of The Tail" (03), "Nursery Cryme" (02) and "Foxtrot" (01). Unlike many of my fellow "prog" aficionados, I am not a huge supporter of "Selling England By The Pound," (12) although I really like 'Firth Of Fifth' quite a bit, I definitely like 'Dancing with the Moonlit Knight' and I do not dislike either 'I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe),' 'Cinema Show,' 'More Fool Me,' or 'After The Ordeal,' however I absolutely strongly detest 'The Battle Of Epping Forest.' In fact, it is in second place amongst my least favorite Genesis songs, with only 'Back In N.Y.C' from "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" perhaps being slightly worse. Therefore, I would give "Selling England By The Pound" a rating of (*** 1/2). On the other hand, I prefer "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" (08) much more, expect for the aforementioned 'Back in N.Y.C.' (which I absolutely detest) and perhaps 'Counting Out Time,' which I am not extremely fond of either. Nevertheless, I would rate "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" at (**** 1/2). By the way, I have never owned either "We Can't Dance," or "Calling All Stations," so I am a bit reluctant to mention those.

So, here are the Genesis studio albums which I have owned and my respective ratings and rankings:

12. Selling England By The Pound (1973) (*** 1/2)
11. ...And Then There Were Three (1978) (*** 1/2)

10. Trespass (1970) (****)
09. Wind & Wuthering (1976) (****)

08. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974) (**** 1/2)
07. Invisible Touch (1986) (**** 1/2)
06. Abacab (1981) (**** 1/2)

05. Genesis (1983) (*****)
04. Duke (1980) (*****)
03. A Trick Of The Tail (1976) (*****)
02. Nursery Cryme (1971) (*****)
01. Foxtrot (1972) (*****)

Have I been a little miffed by the fact that Genesis's induction preceded Rush's into the Rock Hall?

Well, what do you think?

I haven't watched that yet. I guess the panel thought that either Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Foxtrot or Selling by the Pound are the best and Calling All Stations is worst.
