The Great Genesis

Who else loves Genesis, I think they were an awesome prog rock band. BUT ONLY, I REPEAT ONLY good, before gabriel left.........except wind and wuthering

Trick of the Tail is an awesome album after Gabriel.
There are about a million threads on this topic though, you should check them out--there are a lot of Genesis/Peter Gabriel fans here.

I would certainly be one of those. I love Gabriel-era Genesis, and his solo work. The man is a genius!!

But Dave's right...there are other threads about this. But it's fine with me...Genesis deserves constant praise and recognition.

I love Gabriel and Genesis, Selling England By The Pound and Lamb are among the best albums ever made. Let's all pray to the holy Genesis.l

and i like genesis till abacab , even after they got some good stuff , the only stuff i really dislike are ballads in collins solo style ( Hold On My Heart , Follow You Follow Me , In Too Deep ) , they were a real band , real pro's

My favourite band.

From spectacular, mad prog about being a cross-dressing lawnmower to fantastic progressive pop.

i havent heard any of their first two albums - genesis to revelation and the other one, ccant' remember the name. Does any1 reccomend them??

"Genesis To Revelation" is decent...but doesn't really sound like Genesis. But "Trespass" is very good...better than "Nursery Cryme", I'd say.

Invisible Touch , now that was a great song , and a great album ,

No it's not.

I have to agree on that, Philera Genesis have made better stuff than that. My personal favourite is the album ''Genesis''.

No. Everything went to shit after Gabriel left.

In terms of Popmusic they made some very good stuff, in terms of progrock it's all shit even Trick Of The Tail which seems highly liked by a lot of people. I only like 1 or 2 songs from it.

That's like saying that Blink-182 makes crappy metal, but when it comes to pop-punk is good. But then you realize punk is shit so it doesn't matter.

Hmm might be the way i said it well let's just say that in terms of music in general Collins era Genesis have made some really good stuff. They were/are all fantastic musicians. Firth of Fifth is a masterpiece and that wasn't all Gabriel or Hackett!
