Kamakiriad especially is underrated as hell. My favorite of his solo albums. Naïve Old Fart and A24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,550 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I just don't like to go with the obvious.

Marian Schedenig 8,206 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Obvious or not, there's very little that can stand up to Bohemian Rhapsody in such a choice. It's Late is one of my Queen favourites, but no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,550 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Did you really expect PG to be a part of this? The last time he had anything to do with Genesis, creatively, was in 1999, and before that, in 1982. He's outgrown Genesis, and vice versa. They could always ask Steve Hackett...

Thor 7,515 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Well, it's not like Peter Gabriel has ruled it out altogether (as he even says himself in the tweet in that article above). So one can always hope in this case, unlike -- say -- the prospect of seeing Richard Davies and Roger Hodgson play together as Supertramp again, which at this point seems impossible. Then again, Roger Waters DID get together with David Gilmour and the PF gang for the Live 8 thing (and a few things since), so 'pigs do fly' now and then.

A24 4,345 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 That is actually true, but still, it's so goofy Phil Collins at the same time that I can't see Peter Gabriel doing the singing.

Melange 446 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Welcome back to 80s Sunday, beginning controversially perhaps with this classic. Controversially, as it was 'released' in Jan 1990, but was recorded in 1989 and 'apparently' performed on stage in 89. Whatever, I'm going with it.

Of course, when I think of Gabriel and Genesis, I think of the early '70s. Well, I love Phil Collins, including his solo material -- and I'm glad that he's now getting the respect and love he deserves. For a period in the 90s, in particular, he was very popular to hate. Of the post-Gabriel, post-Collins Genesis, I only have CALLING ALL STATIONS, which is decent (and includes some really great songs, like "Congo" and "The Dividing Line").

Wojo 2,453 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Well isn't Calling All Stations the ONLY post-Collins studio Genesis album anyways? They did release two Archive sets (one spanning pre-Collins through The Lamb, the other Collins only), a greatest hits set, a video DVD, and a ton of live material from the 2007 tour. None of that involved Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of that involved Ray. To put you right about a few things: There is no "pre-Collins" ARCHIVE set. Both ARCHIVE sets feature Collins. There are 4 official "greatest hits" sets. I don't know what you mean by "video DVD", but there is a set called THE VIDEO SHOW, and there is also a wealth of live material across the 5 box sets. Genesis did not tour in 2004. 1 hour ago, Thor said: You're right. I somehow thought there were more. There is more. There are at least 8 songs that were not included on CAS, including one that has never been released. The rest were released as "b" sides, and extra tracks. There are also live songs from the CAS tour. The CAS 2-disc set has live versions of CAS, and THE DIVIDING LINE. TDL is right up there with FADING LIGHTS, DODO, DOMINO, and HOME BY THE SEA as a fine example of "epic" Genesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew someone would misunderstand me, and that person is Richard. Phil Collins joined Genesis in August 1970. The first Archive set covers 1967 to 1975. Disc 3 includes songs that Collins played on but did not help write. Disc 4 is essentially From Genesis to Revelations outtakes and demos that predate Collins' songwriting and playing credits. Pre-Collins. The first greatest hits album was Turn It On Again. The video DVD was The Video Show. I never bought the lavishly expensive reissue box sets because I don't feel they're essential. 2007. Tiny numpad touchscreen. I own two of those recordings from the tour, plus the DVD from the European tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you the "pre-Collins" stuff, but what I said was true...from a certain point of view. 2004? Don't text and drive! The boxes aren't essential? It depends. Some albums (DUKE, ...AND THEN THERE WERE THREE...) benefit from the remixing, and some (INVISIBLE TOUCH)...well, you can't polish a turd.

October 2017 would be a perfect time for that concert to be released... I'm in an Autumnal mood, so I'm listening to... GONE TO EARTH, by BJH. Does anybody else have any love for this band?
