What's Your favourite Genesis solo?

[babycart]

By unpopular demand I’m trying to up the prog quotient on the board.
For me it’s all about the wobbly synth bit in Land of Confusion.

I've also seen a Marillion album with a jester on the cover. Should I risk €15?

[Little Jimmy Oddman]

I Can't Dance (Because Its Not Sexy Enough).

[peretti]

Don't make me choose between Genesis solos, there's so many to pick from.

My favourite Gensis production is the two seconds of silence between tracks 3 and 4 on the second album, and although the run out groove on side two of the first album is widely hailed as their finest moment, for me it's slightly derivative of the run out gooves on side one of Tales from Topographic Oceans.

And you can't front on the band responsible for popularising Kayleigh as 80's chav nipper name fodder.

[Ian Townsend]

The subtle interplay between acoustic guitar and synthesiser which delightfully builds on 'Entangled' (from Trick of the Tail). Gorgeous...loved it when I was 14 .....sounded just as good recently.

You boys........what we gonna do with ya eh?

Noooooooooooo!!!!!

I use to have a bootleg with an extended live version of this on it; stretched out to nerve tingling 6 seconds. Quite stunning, when you think about it. Wonder what happened to that record?

In truth I actually quite like Peter Gabriel - particularly Us.

Oh yeah - collectors item of tomorrow. I'm regretting all those copies I passed over for 1 or 2 quid. What a fool I was.

[emperor tomato ketchup]

I love everything Genesis did all the way from Trespass through to Foxtrot.

Actually no I hate half of Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot but Trespass is all good. Don't like their solos though - I like the song-y bits.

[kirkatron]

The widdly widdly bit on The Knife

[highland cow]

Noooooooooooo!!!!!

Actually if it was the picture disc and you wanted to make some money then YES!!!

Do you like Phil Collins ?
I've been a big Genesis fan eversince the release...
of their 1980 album Duke.
Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work.
It was too artsy, too intellectual.
It was on Duke where...
Phil Collins' presence became more apparent.
I think Invisible Touch is the group's undisputed masterpiece.
It's an epic meditation on intangibility.
At the same time, it deepens and enriches...
the meaning of the preceding three albums.
Wallace, take off the robe.
Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing...
of Banks, Collins and Rutherford.
You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument.
Sabrina, remove your dress.
ln terms of lyrical craftsmanship and sheer songwriting,
this album hits a new peak of professionalism.
Fish, why don't you, uh, dance a little.
Take the lyrics to "Land of Confusion."
In this song, Phil Collins...
addresses the problems of abusive political authority.
"In Too Deep" is the most moving pop song of the 1980s...
about monogamy and commitment.
The song is extremely uplifting.
Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative...
as, uh, anything I've heard in rock.
Wallace, get down on your knees...
so Sabrina can see your asshole.
Phil Collins' solo career...
seems to be more commercial,
and therefore more satisfying in a narrower way,
especially songs like "In the Air Tonight" and "Against All Odds."
Sabrina, don't just stare at it. Eat it.
I also think that Phil Collins works best...
within the confines of the group than as a solo artist.
And I stress the word "artist."
This is "Sussudio."
A great, great song. A personal favorite.
Look at the camera.
Christie, look at the camera.
Don't touch the watch.
Can we go now ?

[Daddy Ya Ya]

The tough garage punk solo on 'The Serpent' off '.......Revelation' !!

Anyone know 'Peak Hour' by Moody Blues ? another punk-tastic POW! from proto-proggers - thekeyboard solo sounds ACE backwards !!

Gabriels not bad - some funky bits
Sledgehammer, Steam,Big Time (ace) and Shock The Monkey surely??? Steam has got great remixes by Public Enemy's Bomb Squad too!!

[Belson]

Steve Hackett - Clocks (OK, more Genesis-related)

Or a favourite Genesis solo LP -

Gotta be Mr Hackett again - either Defector or Voyage of an Acolyte.

[peretti]

The Taste of Strawbs set is available for not much over £30. Even in Leutonian sestertii that's closer to $70 than $150. And if you get in quick you get a fifth CD thrown in.

[beddoes]

What's that funny smell?

[son of stan]

What was that one they had a hit with in the 1980s? "Mama"? Anyway, the bit on that where Phil Collins makes a noise like he''s being sick. What was that in aid of....?

Oh, and what about that "hilarious" walking about routine they used to do to "I Can't Dance"?

Plaise ter extrapolerates.
