Genesis


Any long time Genesis (with or without Peter Gabriel) fans out there? What's your favorite albums?

Favorite album would be Trespass. Been a fan since I heard Nursery Cryme in 1973. Saw the band with Gabriel and costumes way back when. Seen several of the tribute bands, The Watch, Musical Box, The Genesis show (recently, doing Trick of the Tail tour).

Steve Hackett - favorite albums Voyage of the Acolyte or Spectral Mornings. Dozens of his concerts-- Genesis revised tours are superb.

Have close to 20 Anthony Phillips solo albums, his first one Geese and the Ghost closest to early Genesis and has Collins and another band member on it.

Guess you can color me a fan.

SEBTP (hate the Battle of Epping Forest) & Nursery Cryme are their best.

When Gabriel split the "Real" Genesis fans followed his solo career. The Collins era was pop, and seen as a sellout, his only saving grace was Wind & Wuthering.

Hated Collins' solo albums at the time but I can appreciate them now for their excellent production.

Fair play though Gabriel's first few albums bankrupted him because they were critical (Solsbury Hill), but not commercial successes. Collins et al helped him out big time.

Underrated songs in the Genesis catalog? I'll throw out three:

1) Seven Stones (Nursey Cryme)

2)Wot Gorilla? (Wind and Wuthering)

3)Many to Many (And Then There Were Three)

Couldn't disagree more with LordMelton except for hating 'Battle of Epping Forest', but I prefer their albums that don't have anything I hate on them. 

@scottya118 - Yeah, 'Seven Stones' is awesome, yeah? I never got into that when I first got the album, but it's become one of my faves.... So many underrated songs in their catalog, especially in the post-Gabriel years. I'll throw in some Tony Banks epics - 'Mad Man Moon' (Trick of the Tail), 'One For the Vine' (Wind and Wuthering), 'Burning Rope' (And Then There Were Three), 'Duke's Travels' (Duke), and 'Dodo/Lurker' (Abacab)....  Real 'pop' those were! laugh
