Red rain for me.

I love the Genesis stuff up to and including The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Not keen on the post PG stuff. I remember buying Duke at around the same time as PG3/Melt and thought it appalling....especially Misunderstanding. Flogged it back to the record shop within days.
Shock the Monkey is brilliant. Just going back to Womad yes it is still going. Womad 82 was a financial disaster so PG had to get his old Genesis band mates to do a concert a few months later to make up for all the financial losses. Another one of my favourites Mark Hollis and his band Talk Talk were the support act.
So was where he hit the mainstream but even so ......lol .....it was a great album
I liked his use of different cultures in his music
I personally don't think anything beats him belting out Biko live before he leaves the stage
People call him and his like snowflakes etc but you have to have passion to write a song like that
