GerateWohl 3,679 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 When it comes to those old musicals, I remember one of my first LPs was Zero Zero from 1981, a bizzar science fiction video musical of Mike Batt with the old story that humanity erased emotions from their lives after 7 world wars to be able to survive. And the main character discovers love and needs to get healed afterwards. I liked the mixture of pop music and orchestral score. Was for me long time the reference for such kind of music. The video didn't age good. But the music I still find particularly interesting. Anyone else know that? Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(For the record, three other shoo-ins for the jangle pop Torah would be REM's Murmur, The La's self-titled album, and The Smiths' The Queen is Dead.

Drive west, turn that jungle music down, and have a great time! If I'm brutally honest, Becker wasn't really an essential member of the live band anyway. Obviously he was absolutely essential to the songwriting/production when they were making records which makes him always a legend, but for the live show Fagen was always the star attraction.

Sweeping Strings 2,122 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Call me a philistine, but when the Genesis gig here finally happens I'm hoping for a strong focus in the setlist of what Cremers described ... I am familiar with the Collins-sung hit singles so they're what I want to hear, am not interested in the meandering prog-rock if I'm honest.

I agree...up to a point. For all of Collins' "influence", one person remains the true guiding force, behind Genesis. His compositional style, and playing, drives the music, and the group, forward, in a way that Collins couldn't even hope to achieve. He's the true force in Genesis.

A24 4,173 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I'm not really a hardcore Genesis fan anymore. A friend of mine came to the same conclusion. In fact, the only album is still loves to this day is 'The Lamb Lies down On Broadway'. For me it's 'Selling England By The Pound'. It's the 'Close To The Edge' of Genesis. And even though I've called him Phil 'Hit Parade' Collins, it's actually because of a hit that I learned about Genesis: Needless to say, I respect Phil Collins. The prog of the '70s couldn't last, they needed to adapt to the '80s or it was game over for Genesis, and with the help of Phil, who was charasmatic* on MTV and a hit machine, they managed to do just that. *: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bilbo 3,707 Posted September 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 Oasis Knebworth 1996. Saw this tonight and it was amazing. Loads of music from both nights obviously but this was all about the fans and their experience. They got a nice sized bunch to reminisce and it’s just crazy how much the world has changed in 25 years. I was too young to even know who oasis were but the doc brought back memories of when I saw them in Slane in 09 and the experiences around that. It’s great being able to buy tickets from my phone while in bed but I kinda miss the comraderie of queuing up outside a shop to get tickets. August 1993 oasis didn’t have a record deal and had played a handful of pubs. August 1994 they release their debut album. August 95 and their making the evening news because they’re in a chart battle with another band. August 1996 they played the largest free standing gigs in British history. 2.7% of the population applied for tickets. It’s just insane how quick it all blew up.
