  1. Genesis - Genesis

    This starts off strong with the eerie Mama, although it feels like it belongs on a Collins solo LP... as do a few more of the tracks here.

    At this point, Genesis has really become a pop band, with a few "proggier" tracks popping up here and there (especially towards the end). I think this LP was probably their biggest selling one, and may be the peak of their post-prog period.

    A Trick of the Tail

    Genesis released this extraordinary album 50 years ago today.

    “They've got no horns and they've got no tail
    They don't even know of our existence
    Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold
    That lies in the deep distance”

  16. "Mama" is a song by the English rock band #Genesis, released as the first single in 1983 from their self-titled album. It is recognisable for its harsh #drumMachine introduction composed by #MikeRutherford, which leads into minimalist synthesizer lines in a minor tonality and finally #PhilCollins' #reverb-laden voice. It remains the band's most successful single in the UK, peaking at No. 4 on the #UKSinglesChart. It also made the top 10 in Switzerland, Austria, Norway.

  19. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

    Look what turns 50 today ... it's the last Genesis album for Peter Gabriel who leaves for his solo career after the tour the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame called "a spectacle on par with anything attempted in the world of rock to that point". It was a 102-date endeavor covering North America and Europe. #genesis #thelambliesdownonbroadway #petergabriel #philcollins #mikerutherford #stevehackett #tonybanks #70srock #progressiverock

  22. Ein Paradebeispiel dafür, mit wie wenigen harmonischen Variationen man auskommt, wenn das Arrangement was kann. Außerdem wusste ich zuvor nicht, dass derlei in Phil Collins' Stimme steckt. Nicht zuletzt war natürlich auch für einen synthesizerbegeisterten Teenager etwas geboten: Genesis - Mama

  24. All in all you are a very dying race
    Placing trust upon a cruel world
    You never had the things
    you thought you should've had
    And you'll not get them now
    And all the while in perfect time
    Your tears are falling on the ground
    Squonk (Bloody hard to play & sing!)
