Reminds me of a later track by The Who.

Interesting track in that musically it’s quite a jolly little track. The lyrics are dreadful. Phil has done some great b-sides. This is not one of them.

I've never heard of this song before, but I actually like it. The sax solo makes absolutely no sense though.

Love this song!..one of my favorite B sides!

I don’t think it was underrated. But as a long time Genesis fan. I’ll say any song on Duke. Something about that album captured the essence of Genesis. No other band or album in the world comes close.

That’s such an awesome song I can’t stand it. Too bad it was never remastered. But it is on “Other Sides” digital release.

No, Silver Rainbow was never played live. It's Gonna Get Better was played live during the Mama tour.

My friend, there is NO SUCH THING AS A GENESIS ALBUM THAT'S TOO LONG. Remember, We Can't Dance was the final album with Phil. It was the absolute perfect way to go out. Fading Lights is the greatest album closer of all time. Here's another thing, during the No Admittance documentary for WCD, the narrator said there were 17 songs written and 14 recorded. I'd like to know what happened to those three other songs. How could they never go back in and record them? I'm hoping the information was wrong because it's an absolute shame we never got those songs.

Great topic, though you said no B sides and you used a few in your list (Way of the World, Silver Rainbow) Here’s my 10, but not in any particular order. 1 White Mountain 2 Like It Or Not 3 The Lamia 4 Can-Utility & the Coastliners (I think this is way too overshadowed by the other big tracks and gets forgotten more than it should) 5 After the Ordeal 6 Mad Man Moon 7 Say It’s Alright Joe 8 Heathaze 9 The Dividing Line 10 The Conqueror Honorable mentions, including overlooking B side designations: Seven Stones, Man of Our Times, Silver Rainbow, Living Forever, Evidence of Autumn, Do the Neurotic, and Inside And Out.

Interesting - would've loved to have found your survey. I'm a long time Genesis fan thanks to my oldest sister's one-time boyfriend. That's how a 13 year old kid got "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" for Christmas. I do prefer Peter Gabriel era Genesis, but I do like a few albums with Phil Collins on vocals. I also don't mind the pop songs - I just don't like a Phil Collins solo sounding song on a Genesis album. It seems like a number of the voters are fans of the big selling years. My order (albums): 1. Foxtrot (10) 2. Selling England By The Pound (10) 3. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (9.5) 4. Nursery Cryme (9.5) 5. A Trick of the Tail (9) 6. Trespass (8) 7. Wind and Wuthering (7.5) 8. Duke (7) 9. Genesis (6) 10. Abacab (5.5) 11. And Then There Were Three (5) 12. Invisible Touch (3.5) 13. We Can't Dance (2.5) 14. From Genesis to Revelations (2.5) 15. Calling All Stations (1)

Phil Collins: Great drummer, great singer, lousy songwriter! 🥶

Dreaming while you sleep is the best track on the album. Musically it is different to everything apart from No Son, which is the second best song on the album. And it harks back to early 80s Phil and Genesis. The lyrics are gut wrenching, unpleasant in many ways, but you cannot ignore them.

1. White mountain,2. Dusk, 3. Seven stones, 4. Harlequin, 5. Can-utility and the coastliners, 6. The battle of Epping Forest, 7. Back in NYC, 8. The chamber of 32 doors, 9. Lilywhite Lilith, 10. The colony of slippermen. That's from Peter Gabriel era.

1. Heathaze, 2. Snowbound, 3. Undertow, 4. Inside and out, 5. Dodo (any live version), 6. Man of our times, 7. You might recall, 8. Open door, 9. Evidence of autumn, 10. Down and out That's from Phil Collins era

Heathaze Undertow Blood On The Rooftops Not About Us Can Utility And The Coastliners As regarding 'It' I've always advocated The Lamb should have been a single album and sides 3 and 4 are way below the standards of 1 and 2 so this last track is an example of a band running out of steam, the track is so ordinary and uninspiring, for me anyway.....I really enjoyed the video, thanks

Taking It All Too Hard is one of my favorites. It has a Phil vibe but it has Tony all over it

Absolutely agree with Anyway. That would probably be my top song or certainly top 3. Check the live version on Archive #1. I'd go with (scans albums chronologically backwards): 1. Anyway It's Not About Us There Must Be Some Other Way Another Record Me and Sarah Jane Heathaze Please Don't Ask Down and Out The Colony of Slippermen Time Table

10. The Battle Of Epping Forest 9. Man Of Our Times 8. After The Ordeal 7. Fly On A Windshield 6. More Fool Me 5. Blood On The Rooftops 4. The Lamia 3. Riding The Scree 2. Eleventh Earl Of Mar 1. Robbery, Assault And Battery

the 3SL w/ a 4th side of live tracks is the norm in the UK here. it's quality.

In order by release date: White Mountain Seven Stones Get Em Out By Friday Wot Gorilla? Down And Out Man Of Our Times Me And Sarah Jane Silver Rainbow The Brazilian There Must Be Some Other Way

In no particular order: 1. All In A Mouse’s Night 2. In Hiding 3. Man Of Our Times 4. Heathaze 5. Whodunnit 6. Snowbound 7. Dreaming While You Sleep 8. Living Forever 9. White Mountain 10. Harlequin

Very happy to see love for Way of the World, that’s one of my favorite tracks off of WCD. Would Anything She Does be considered underrated? I don’t think it ever got played live, and there’s so many other massive hits on Invisible Touch that I feel like this one is never mentioned. It’s terrific!

Totally agree with It. Always thought it was well ahead of its time (yep, I can see the unintended pun in that)

This list could change … but as of this morning 😅 1. Like it or not 2. Dreaming while you sleep 3. Alien afternoon 4. Uncertain weather 5. Looking for someone 6. Snowbound 7. Please don’t ask 8. Silver rainbow 9. Fly on a windshield 10. You might recall

I'm 45 seconds into your video and I'm wondering; why you are wearing a baseball cap and why you are wearing it back-to-front. Do you really expect to be taken seriously?

In the UK 'Ripples' was the B-side to 'A Trick Of The Tail' released on March 12th 1976. That has to be the best B-side of any song by anybody, ever. I presume this list is for B-sides released in the US.

I pray for Phil every day! He is one of the most talented people to grace this Earth❣🥁🎤🎹🎶

As a history buff, "Eleventh Earl of Mar". There are not too many songs about a Scottish uprising that rock!

1. Me and sarah jane 2. Dodo/lurker 3. Dreaming while you sleep 4. Like it or not 5. Cul de sac 6. Anyway 7. Hairless heart 8. All in a mouses night 9. The dividing line 10. Its gonna get better would be my list prob.

You should do best of the b-sides next. Inside and Out, Feeding the Fire, Do the Neurotic, Me and Virgil, Evidence of Autumn, Vancouver Its Yourself, Id Rather Be You. Some of the Abacab songs and b-sides, are my least favorite. I hate Submarine, i hate Naminunu, and Another Record. I WOULD hate Who Dunnit, but it works great in the 3 Sides Live concert video

They play a bit of Stagnation on Seconds Out, if you listen closely

The Knife, Cuckoo Cocoon, Its Gonna Get Better, Domino parts 1&2, One For the Vine, Blood on the Rooftops, Dodo/Lurker, the Silent Sun, Snowbound, Lady Lies

This song started it all for me. I was 10 years old when my teacher played it in class, and I thought it was so cool. Before that, I didn't really listen to music. This was the first Genesis song I ever heard, and it led me to explore their entire discography. Now, I love pretty much all music genres, but this song holds a special place in my memories.

Definitely agree about "It"! It's not quite in my top five (see below), but it's close. It's a great rocker (one of the few Genesis songs that uses a lead electric guitar riff in the conventional "rock" sense), and it gives The Lamb an exciting, triumphant conclusion. I never really cared for Silver Rainbow, Like It Or Not or Alone Tonight, but your other choices are good.

Its a terrible song...the worst song in many years since Who dunnit and Another record...in this place it could have been put "Feeding the fire" opening the b side

My top five most underrated/unfairly bashed Genesis songs: 1. Say It's Alright Joe 2. A Trick of the Tail (the song) 3. Pigeons 4. Please Don't Ask 5. No Reply At All

Anyway was written in the late 60s with a different words and the title “The Mad Scientist”.

That was an excellent list - except that I think "It" is the worst song on "Lamb", but hey, can't agree on everything. 😆 I would definitely go with Chamber Of 32 Doors from Lamb instead.

Brazilian is part of an OST. Probably the best song on IT :) A lot of them are underrated. The one I remember immediately is Down and Out or Rooftops. Totally agree on Anyway. One of my favorites of the Lamb.

No particular order: 1) Me & Sarah Jane 2) Another Record 3) Silver rainbow 4) Dodo 5) Chamber of 32 Doors 6) Entangled 7) Snowbound 8) Cul-De-Sac 9) Living Forever 10) Blood On the Rooftops I initially included 'You Might Recall' & Evidence of Autumn', but wasn't sure if that those counted as 'B' sides.

Love this album IMHO it was a totally underrated record

In approximate chronological order: 1) The Conqueror 2) For Absent Friends 3) More Fool Me 4) The Battle of Epping Forest 5) After The Ordeal 6) Hairless Heart 7) Lilywhite Lilith 8) The Supernatural Anesthetist 9) Down And Out 10) The Brazilian 11) Like It Or Not 12) Another Record

love your Genesis angtusiadme, do you have everything from those guys !!?, think you have.😊😊😊😊😊

It's not easy to do this with Genesis. If you look at all of their songs, I'd say 95% are either hit singles or fan favourites. After that, there are a few songs that only people with a particular sense of humor will enjoy, such as "Who Dunnit?" and "Illegal Alien". The only Genesis songs I'd call underrated are the very few Genesis songs that are not very good. They don't really have any bad songs, so at their worst, you get something like "More Fool Me" or "Aisle of Plenty" which are not great, but also not terrible.

I never agree with your opinions, but still love watching. 😊

In chronological, not rank order, 'underrated': Fountain of Salmacis (should be ranked higher on All-time prog masterpiece lists) Firth of Fifth (obviously not underrated by Genesis fans, but in terms of 'greatest guitar solos lists' I really believe it should be ranked right up there with the 'best ever' - so in that regard I feel it qualifies as underrated) Back in NYC (both the live Gabriel and live Phil versions are even better than the studio version, and the live cover version by District 97 - which is on CZcams - is very, very cool! You must check it out!) Chamber of 32 Doors (Surprised this song wasn't covered. I think it would hold up even today) All in a Mouse's Night (should be ranked higher as an All-timeI prog masterpiece lists) One for the Vine (also should be ranked higher on All-time prog masterpiece lists) Snowbound (high up on my 'Most Beautiful Genesis Songs List) Please Don't Ask (along with You Might Recall - one of my favorite Genesis non-prog songs ever) Dodo/Lurker (yes, this song is prog!!!) Like it or Not? (Like it? I freaking love it!!!)

Cool list! Like It or Not The Brazilian You Might Recall There Must Be Some Other Way Entangled Way of the World Snowbound Lilywhite Lilith Time Table Cul de Sac

It's Gonna Get Better aired on NY prior to any song off the self-titled 'Genesis' album, including Mama. Although I love the song, it's one of the very, very few Genesis songs that are better studio than live because they stretched it out too long live - needlessly IMHO.

Silver Rainbow was never played live. Parts were played at rehearsal.

Ill pick one song from each album Starting from the 1st album: In the beginning White Mountain Seven stones Can Utility and Coastliners After the ordeal Fly on the windshield Entangled One for more he vine Burning rope Heathaze Dodo/Lurker Silver Rainbow The Brazilian Dreaming while you sleep Shipwrecked
