Re: Genesis

Genesis - excellent band until departure of Peter Gabriel and then Steve Hackett. After that comparatively unmemorable.

Yep

Re: Genesis

Genesis fantastic band until the two main chaps left

Even when they were led by Collins they did some good stuff but became radio cannon fodder

Queen .....staggering hard Rock band in their early days , really powerful

But soon went crap

Re: Genesis

Queen are surely the most over-rated band ever!

Freddie murcury was a great entertainer but queen has a band were annoying..
Phil Collins is decent but Genesis shit

Re: Genesis

Queen are overrated, but at least they're decent and they had "moments". Genesis and the Stereophonics are just shit.

The Manic Street Preachers are OK, I suppose. But also overrated.

Re: Genesis

Have seen the Collins variant, although the PG variant being my preferred, watching their recent concert extracts on YouTube I thought it was quite sad to see P Collins put himself through these concerts I'm sure those who went will have enjoyed them, he looked a very pitiful character on stage, I saw the Steve Hackett show the other week in Cardiff playing the seconds out album and was almost in tears of joy seeing Suppers Ready, Cinema Show, Carpet Crawlers, etc. etc. being played in their entirety as closely as possible as to how they were played in the 80's, many dislike prog and I get that, but if you like it, then I believe that Suppers ready is the track that all prog tracks are judged against the lyrics are incredible, especially in view of how young they were when they wrote them, although on some days I would say Tubular Bells is the reference prog track, Hackett was the tapping innovator long before the others. current prog listening is mostly porcupine tree, pineapple thief and Yes.

...Supper's Ready?...brilliant.

Re: Genesis

Yet another thread with people having different opinions on an artist or 2.
You're all right.

Re: Genesis

This has got to be a huge wind up. You don’t stay at the top level for 50 plus years without having talent. Suggest you go away and think of another topic to annoy people instead.

It's called a fan base. Most bands releasing stuff after 30+ years are releasing watered down garbage. But the fans will buy anything put out. If trump was a band he'd sell millions.

Re: Genesis

There was an 8 pager in September that was largely about members of Genesis being crap or great, even if it hadn’t been the intent of the OP. I enjoy some repetitive threads about music or any subject really, but a 6 week gap isn’t enough time (yet) for me to forget the last one….. and Sludge doesn’t need any more encouragement 🤪

Re: Genesis

Utter shite

I've not listened to much of genesis stuff, but what i have heard could curdle milk at 100 paces. It's so boring and in my opinion it doesn't say anything. I'm no music aficionado, but i do like reading the music threads on here and give a little listen to what other posters like. There's some good stuff, but plenty of nondescript lift music that doesn't rouse any part of my being. My opinion of course (who else's) i suppose music taste is determined by so many aspects of life experience.

Re: Genesis

Whenever people discuss Genesis it's usually about the prog rock era of Gabriel/Hackett and the radio friendly rock of the Phil Collins years, neither of which I'm particularly keen on. What is often overlooked is Genesis's debut album From Genesis To Revelation which doesn't fall into either camp and is actually very good.

A mixture of psychedelic rock and baroque pop. There's one track that sounds like late 1960s Bee Gees.

“I’m no music aficionado” is absolutely spot on. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. This is one of the greatest bands ever ,who have been very successful for over 50 years. Next time you go shopping, buy yourself some milk that won’t curdle. You do not stay at the top of your business if you have no talent. Please do not insult this band any more.
