Album of the day - Genesis (Selling England By The Pound)

[Gelsons Dad]

Pretty sure everyone has heard I know what I like thanks to top gear :-)

Cinema Show....utterly brilliant. Spent many hours late at night chilling to that when much younger.... Really great album.

I played Cinema Show in the car, on the way back from a 30 minute journey. Quality. Collins' drumming on this is superb. Just the little "fills" that go unnoticed, most of the time, are awesome. Banks's keyboard work is untouched.


Firth of Fifth is probably (musicianship wise) their finest moment through their career.
From Banks' intro, to Hackett's zenith for his solo (not keen on the song, lyrically, though).

I Know What I Like is just a GREAT pop song (their first "hit"), and would have been a superb release 20 years later, when promoting the LIVE, THE SHORTS album, when they mistakingly (imo) used Invisible Touch.

In short. It's my second favourite album of theirs, after The Lamb....

Guitar solo on Firth of Fifth is a classic. Cinema show keyboard solo is also amazing. Very good album - one of their best.

 

[Brightwell’s left peg]

Awesome...when Genesis were very good.

My dad raised me on Genesis

The lamb is my favourite album.

Lots of people only know Genesis of late 80's/early 90's, and wouldn't have a clue if you played any of their best stuff that it was Genesis. Such a shame.

Fair play. Every so often, you do pull a rabbit out of the hat.

I know I’ve slagged you off about your choices but give you this one fantastic album

For any fan of the world's best band (calm down, just my opinion), there's a new, 24 hour radio station.
