Genesis

I've been a big fan since I saw them play at my college gym in early 1973 on the 'Foxtrot' tour. Seen and photographed them many times since then.

I seem to be the only Genesis fan who doesn't rate 'Selling England' very high in my faves; 'Dancing with the Moonlit Knight' is awesome and as good as anything they've ever done, and 'Cinema Show' and 'Firth of Fifth' are both very good, but the rest I never need to hear again. I'm not dissing it; I wish I enjoyed it as much as everybody else!

Fave Peter album - "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"

Fave Phil album - "Trick of the Tail"

@jpconer - did you ever listen to KOME in the '73 - '76 period when they were pretty much prog and psychedelic rock all the time, with DJ's like Phil Charles and Zim Zoots? They turned me on to so many great bands.

@mapman - you are right about The Musical Box, from Montreal; I've seen them several times in San Francisco, including the Lamb show and the Foxtrot tour show, which was a real blast from the past for me, having seen Genesis do it in '73. One of the guys from the band even contacted me concerning early photos I have of them from those early tours. 

@bzawa - yes indeed, Phil was a brilliant drummer; back in the early 70's, Phil Collins and Bill Bruford were considered (arguably) the best drummers in progressive rock. And on the first Trick of The Tail tour, Bill was the original second drummer before Chester Thompson. 

@bzawa - for the best sounding 'Nursery Cryme', look into the double-45 version from Acoustic Sounds/Analog Productions.... Unfortunately, those earlier Gabriel-era Genesis albums were not the best sounding ones, so even that leaves something to be desired. Looking forward to that version of 'Foxtrot' coming out later this year.
