I'm a fan of their 70s output and the 'Duke' album. After that I kind of lost interest other than a few singles.

Phil Collins is the antichrist. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway was the last album Genesis ever made.

Yes - of 70s Genesis! Tony Banks is truly the Keyboard King!

Yep, and going to see Steve Hackett for the third time this year come November. Also a fan of G2. As a pianist, I am always in awe at the first 90 seconds of Firth of Fifth.
Despite this, my favourite album growing up was Invisible Touch (unsurprising as I was born in '83). Don't judge me. Bill Bailey put it right, calling Collins a sanctimonious whining little git. He forgot to mention wife-beating Tory... |

you can't deny the brilliance of stuff like Afterglow, Duchess, Turn It On Again, Ripples, Trick of the Tail etc.

I have said it before and I will say it again: Hackett was the greater loss to the band than Gabriel.

Invisible Touch is my favourite album, and I absolutely love "Domino".

Like Fleetwood Mac there are two distinct phases and not everyone likes both.

I saw them after Collins left....Ray Wilson sang.
It was a bit desperate... |

Trespass is my favourite. But then I have dozens of Ant Phillips albums. Prefer his style to Hackett's.

Collins is just an obnoxious, wife-beating, Tory cabaret act. Supper's Ready is the band's finest moment, although there's something about The Musical Box that hooks me with its uniquely British, atmospheric production. There was an American on a recent documentary who said that he couldn't believe how bad the production was on Nursery Crymes, but that only goes to show the massive gulf between English and American sensibilities.

Agreed...I love Harold The Barrel too
![]() Probably my all time favourite band along with The Smiths. I got into them just after Steve left but I now love their entire catalogue up to and including Duke. After that I liked the odd track but that was it. Favourite album really depends on my moods. One moment Wind and Wuthering, next Seconds Out and then Nursery Cryme. Lucky enough to see them in about 1982 and they did Suppers Ready. Amazing. |

And what about the absolutely brilliant Fountain of Salmacis?
Goes without saying ![]() Saw them in '82 as well...they did Supper's Ready, think they were getting used to playing it again to prepare for the Six Of The Best show at Milton Keynes later that year. |

Genesis never made a better album than Trick Of The Tail. Even better than anything they did with Peter Gabriel and proved that the band could happily survive without him. After that they started to drift downhill musically, although for the most part I still like And Then There Were 3. despite Steve Hackett no longer involved. Duke was the big push towards a commercial sound..

Gabriel 'Good" Collins era with Hackett Downward plunge... ![]() The Gabriel era Genesis is still some of my favourite music ever made - I love 'Foxtrot' and was lucky enough to see Genesis on the 'Lamb lies down' tour. I'd thoroughly recommend seeing 'The Musical Box' tribute band if you get the chance. It's almost like having a time machine. Genesis lent them their projector slides and instruments to have copies made and Steve Hackett occasionally sits in with them. I believe Peter Gabriel once took his kids to see them 'so they could see what he used to be like'. Well worth a visit. |
