True Genesis fans appreciate every incarnation of the band.

"Genesis" was an interesting group of teenagers, and they are an interesting group of older guys.

Simply thankful for as much music as we got (and continue to get) out of them all.

Thanks Genesis.

I am greateful to Phil, Mike and Tony for continuing with the band. Because without them I would not have stumbled upon the earlier works of Gabriel that have left me spellbound for so many years. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway remains the best album ever made. I saw Gabriel with the band in 82, and it was simply the best gig ever.

Humanity is at stake or about to be lost: There too few men and many more CARPETCRAWLERS that lick up high and kick who's down: this is the world as we lost it.

Fare well. Amen.

@mjamielamb

Uh, no - True Genesis fans appreciate when they were innovators and creators of something artistically wonderful - not progenitors of mindless pap, as they were after 1980. Tolstoy didn't go from writing War and Peace to writing for DC comics - and if he had he wouldn't have been praised for 'staying relevant'.

@dowdalli lucky you

@mjamielamb "True Genesis fans appreciate every incarnation of the band." Bullshit

You don't have to be a drone to like Genesis. That is so childish to say that you need to like EVERYTHING.

They are my fav band but I hate hate hate their work later on in the 80s and 90s.

How can someone who's screen name is "philcollinsuk" consider this "beautiful"?? It does, indeed, fucking blow, btw...

[cathoderoy]

@dowdalli Did you see the reunion w/ Gabriel?? I saw the original line up in '75...I'll never forget it...one of the best nights of my entire life!

[klaritavital]

I WANT PETER, MY LOVE!

[fanpost1950]

[Marakandeia]

@TheHO1964 YOU SAY IT !!! SO TRUE!!!

[Tessmage]

Genesis post-Gabriel:

"It's more important for us to make money, than it is to make art."

[TheHO1964]

withour Peter gabriel is this version only a half - Carpet crawl =peter gabriel

[SRNF]

@dowdalli hey dude. The Lamb is my fav too :)

[SRNF]

@mjamielamb Peter Gabriel's lineup from Trespass to Lamb and Phil Collins lineup are completely different musically genres.They are drastically different ***bands*** who happen to share the same name and some of the band members.

So no you don't have to appreciate everything to be a fan. I can understand people who like prog and were turned off by genesis because by the 1980s they had turned into a pop rock band.

It is a silly concept that to be a fan you have to like *everything*.

[alvgen]

Awful. Thank God Punk came and erased these wankers from the music scene. Peter Gabriel was Ok though.

[greatpcfan]

@Scarecrow901 old men better than you

[teddingtontcu]

Oh dear...................Phil just couldnt be bothered to have a couple of backing singers to hold him on higher tones.......................fa­lse...............etto. Well that sums up genesis post Wind and Wuthering ( Shite and meaningless )

[LordWottWottleigh]

In the 'Archive', Anthony Phillips gets credits on two Lamb songs: 'Chamber' and 'Anyway'.

[LordWottWottleigh]

Phil wrote nothing until 'Duke'.  I don't think that they sold out. It's not as if they needed the money, but I'm sure that their talents could have been put to better use.

[LordWottWottleigh]

Gabriel has written quality music for years since Genesis, whereas the rest did two excellent Genesis albums, Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering, after he left, Hackett did a few good and mixed solo albums, and the other three...well, of that of which we cannot speak, let us remain forever silent.

[LordWottWottleigh]

Gabriel wrote about a quarter of the music before the Lamb, on which he wrote two songs and other bits here and there. He had intended to write the lot but acknowledged that the others kept coming up with ‘great musical ideas’.

He also wrote vocals over what might have ended up instrumentals on the Lamb, which caused some discontent. On the other hand, he also wrote the ‘666’ vocal on Supper’s Ready, which an initially sceptical Banks described as ‘incredibly strong’.

[dagolvianna]

What an awful version. Nothing compare to the old one.

[gordon777777]

Earler Genesis was mostly about the musical composition, not the lyrics so much. Gabriel did not contribute much to the music, but he did with the lyrics. Banks and Rutherford were the REAL masterminds behind the earlier-era Genesis, not Gabriel.

When Gabriel left, Genesis became even more popular. The first 2 albums after Gabriel left, were in fact, very progressive and true to their earlier stuff, although a bit different. They proved that Gabriel wasn't the band by himself.
