Genesis

[E-bortion]

Searched for a Genesis thread but didn't find one. I've been meaning to sit down and listen to some Genesis for a long, long time. Where should I start?

 

[Chromatose]

we're busy going gaga for genesis in the prog rock thread

*expected a Sega Genesis thread from acie*


Selling England by the Pound

 

[Krilons Resa]

1) Foxtrot
2) Selling England By The Pound
3) Nursery Cryme

i tried to get into this band, but prog rock just isnt for me.

try We Can't Dance

 

[Krilons Resa]

There are a lot of Genesis fanboys out there. However, I am not one of them. Other bands do much more for me.

 

[Demilich]

Yeah, I am not too crazy about them, judging mostly by Foxtrot (which I bought an old vinyl of a while ago) and Selling England By the Pound which I downloaded a short while ago.

I can't put my finger on it exactly, but I still say even in their prime they sounded too commercial or something.

 

[Reign in Acai]

I need to purchase an album or two from these limp wristed wankers. This performance is grandiose!
Posted here once, here it comes again!

 

[E-bortion]

This stuff is amazing in its own right. I can't say that I'm going to be able to get into entirely though. I'm going to listen through a chunk of their stuff before I make up my mind though. So far I've got Selling England by the Pound and I don't quite know what to think.

 

[Demilich]

haha they look so fucked up in that vid

 

[Reign in Acai]

Some other vids from that performance...

that guy looks about 83% like a woman

edit: hahaha pelvic thrusts

 

[einride]

i'd like to refer to my custom title

 

[dorian gray]

hahaha Peter Gabriel looks like a chick

"That guy"? Dude, just die. (I don't mean that )

Probably about my third favorite band of all time (70s era). And I'm pretty sure everyone remembers my fanboyism about five years ago (I'm SURE I started a Genesis thread long ago...). Back when every other sentence wasn't parenthetical (like now).

 

[E-bortion]

I will say, even though I'm not a huge Genesis fan it turns out. I love Phil Collins solo stuff. I don't care what you say (pun obviously intended)! Poppy or not, I love it.

*edit*

Turns out I like the pop-filled Genesis as well. I've forgotten how many songs I'm familiar with.

 

[Chromatose]

I told Acie to listen to Dodo-Lurker off Abacab because it's gaymazing and sorta in the middle between excessive prog cheese and popwhatnots

 

[Krilons Resa]

Check out P. Collins in Brand X ...that is where he is REALLY let loose for his drumming skills to shine through. The dude is an AMAZING drummer.

 

[Chromatose]

oh totally.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

This shit is great. Old Genesis tracks played by two piano virtuosos.

this is definitely awesome. brings back some great feelings of teenage-type innocence before realizing the horrific realities of adult life. i remember being about 15... i was having an AIM conversation with you, and you sent over musical box and hogweed. hooked ever since. some of the best music ever created.

sort of off-topic: today, i listened to 'red' for the first time in a while. i used to listen to this album on a daily basis, but its been a while. holy fuck what an amazing slice of music. i mean, damn. the ending of starless is possibly one of the greatest soundgasms evarrr
