  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.

  17. "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.

    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".
