Hola, great radio hit. Grew up on this one too-great choice. Always good to slow down sometimes, kick your shoes off and melt away for a bit. Great to see you as always, much love&respect ❤😊
Definitely try Firth of Fifth. The musicianship is superb on that song. Great era for Genesis (but then again I enjoy all of their incarnations). Enjoy!
Two of my favorite Genesis songs in this style are "Taking it All Too Hard" and "It's Gonna Get Better". The latter is so different and creative from other songs, but both of these are on my playlists.
Hello there! A very good choice Larry! I love the easy tempo and Phil's voice is so perfectly mellow along with it. Invisible Touch is an amazing album. I like Land Of Confusion!
I did have a few recommendations for Phil Collins' Genesis but you asked for Peter Gabriel's Genesis and that was before my time as I didn't pick up on the band until Follow You, Follow Me in 1978 and Gabriel had left the band in 1975. I do have some Peter Gabriel solo recommendations: ... Solsbury Hill (1977) Games Without Frontiers (1980) Sledgehammer (1986) Don't Give Up (with Kate Bush, 1986) Big Time (1986) ... Sledgehammer was the biggest hit (UK #4 and US #1), but Don't Give Up (UK #9 and US #72) gives you two major artists for the price of one, and you need to investigate Kate Bush.
So many great songs start with the Peter Gabriel era then when Phil took over singing with Peter left I think in 1976 …. Phil’s voice is one of a kind …he takes you on a journey with the emotion in his voice… I see from the comments there are a few haters of Phil …lol …I’m sure he is heartbroken !!… for another switch up listen to Mama by Genesis and it’s not about his mama …..Home by the Sea is another favourite
Solsbury Hill is a great song , i like the cover done by Reina del Cid. Gabriel's Biko live is an anthem , above and beyond a song. the version by Peter Gabriel / Playing For Change is great. good day.
You guys have to react to Peter Gabriel Genesis sometime. It's definitely my favorite era from Genesis because of their progressive sound. To Me Gabriel was better as a frontman than Phil Collins (no disrespect). I think maybe The Musical Box or Supper's Ready (That's around 23 minutes long though) but both are good starting points. Since you love prog rock so much Ethan than Peter Gabriel Genesis might be more your taste than Phil Collins Genesis.
I have never been keen on Phil Collin's voice. Ok as a backing singer for Peter Gabriel. A superb drummer mind and it is a pity his health prevents him playing now. I think Steve Hackett did the right thing leaving and he tended to take a recognisable Genesis sound with him. They changed from being the great progressive band that they were. The Peter Gabriel days are quite superb, so his time with Genesis gets a high recommendation from me. Supper's ready, The Musical Box, Stagnation, The Colony of Slippermen, The Battle Of Epping Forest. just a few of the great ones there. After Peter left and before Steve did - there is Squonk, which is worth checking out.
This album came out a year after Collins' solo album "No Jacket Required" went to #1 on the charts and spawned four top-10 singles, so the record company probably wanted the album to have a couple of tracks like this on it.
Just listen to virtually anything off of Bankstatement. This would fit right in. Tony Banks wasn't above penning a ballad or two, and the instrumentation of this song is much in that area.
This is the last more or less progressive rock album they made. After this album it became just pop songs. The best song on this album is Domino imho. All albums from the seventies are excellent albums especially the ones with Peter Gabriel as singer, starting with Nursery Crime.
I must admit I prefer the earlier incarnation of Genesis when Peter Gabriel was the singer. You really should react to Supper's Ready - their 23 minute epic from 1970 that is a truly great prog classic Other great Gabriel-era tracks are Carpet Crawlers, The Musical Box, The Firth of Fifth and The Knife
Peter Gabriel-era Genesis can be tricky to make recommendations for, because a lot of their best prog-rock stuff from that period is the kind of long-format opuses with multiple onion layers and time-signature changes that you, Ethan, will probably like, but your dad probably won't get into as much. 🙂 Still, try these on for size: "The Knife" (from the album "Trespass", 1971) "Return of the Giant Hogweed" (from "Nursery Cryme", 1972) "Watcher of the Skies" (from "Foxtrot", 1973) "Supper's Ready" (from "Foxtrot", 1973 -- 23 minutes long, so get comfortable 😀 ) "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" (from "Selling England By The Pound", 1974) "Firth of Fifth" (from "Selling England By The Pound", 1974) and of course, "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" -- but, like The Who's "Tommy", all of the songs on that album are in service to an overall plot or story arc, so it's hard to pick out any one specific track that will make sense out of context; they're meant to be listened to as a continuous sequence. You might have to seek that one out on your own, as I don't think your dad will sit still for a 95-minute prog-rock epic. 😀
Oh "The Pause" , this gives me a chance to reflect on why i never cared much for Phil Collins' voice - he sounds like he's singing to himself. i'm not fond of self adoration in other people , and as a gifted person myself i manage to co-exist w/the common man. your welcome.
@@im-already-tired-tomorrowThat is an amazing quote. Much better than anything Will E. Shakespeare has ever written. Your brilliance is off the charts!!!! :-)
@@cherylreichardt - first heard it on a 1988 episode of Magnum PI and then years later on Severn Sound local radio as I was driving into work, but they didn't back-announce it. At the time I was working in Gloucester, so at lunch I walked down to the radio station only about two blocks away and asked if they could tell me what it was. The receptionist called through to the studio and asked the DJ and he said it was on "the Earthrise album" and thought it might be Genesis. Well, I found the Earthrise Rainforest album in a record store and it was a 1992 compilation album of artists who donated their tracks to the Earth Love Fund rainforest appeal and the Genesis track on it was The Brazilian, which I then tracked down to the studio album Invisible Touch. This was all back in the day before the new-fangled interweb and you can find out things with your fingertips. In those days you had to be a gumshoe and walk to your radio station and then the nearest record store!
@@davemac1197 Ah yes! The hunt to find who sang what! My mom did that for me. I was in grade school and she'd drop me off. I was desperate to know the title of the latest Fleetwood Mac song which turned out to be Rhinnanon. My mom heard it on the radio and turned back to the school. I was still hanging around outside and she told me the title. Off to the record store later!
Don't let Father pick a song ever again. That was NOT good. In Too Deep probably would not make my top fifty Genesis songs. You have to do prog Genesis before pop Genesis. To clarify, Gabriel and Collins did four studio albums together despite the fact that Collins was Genesis drummer #4. You must be referring to who did most of the lead singing. I think you know I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe). The start of my list with Gabriel in the band: Dancing With The Moonlit Knight, Supper's Ready, Firth of Fifth, The Knife, In The Cage, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Lilywhite Lilith, The Return Of The Giant Hogweed, Watcher Of The Skies, and The Battle of Epping Forrest. How about replacing your Father with your friend for the next Genesis reaction (LOL)? I believe my Genesis album collection looks a lot different than Father's.
It’s a personal choice .. what you like or I like will be totally different … but I would say to start at the beginning with all bands … to get how they developed !!! It’s like when they start to listen to the Beatles and listen to the later stuff first …
Hola, great radio hit. Grew up on this one too-great choice. Always good to slow down sometimes, kick your shoes off and melt away for a bit. Great to see you as always, much love&respect ❤😊
More Genesis! they have a huge catalog (with a lot of ballads).
Definitely try Firth of Fifth. The musicianship is superb on that song. Great era for Genesis (but then again I enjoy all of their incarnations). Enjoy!
This voice brings me back to the 80's. ❤

Hello there! A very good choice Larry! I love the easy tempo and Phil's voice is so perfectly mellow along with it. Invisible Touch is an amazing album. I like Land Of Confusion!
Land Of Confusion is probably my second favourite track on this album, but the single certainly had the best video!
@@davemac1197Those puppets! 😂
@@cherylreichardt - yes, and the ones made by Jim Henson to mock them were hilarious!
Hi Cheryl! YeIt is a nice song. My favorite may be Misunderstanding.
@@davemac1197 I didn't know Jim Henson did those puppets. They were creepy and fantastic.
The evolution of Genesis was interesting over the years but I loved the early songs like Get em out by Friday and Watcher of fhe Skies much more
I did have a few recommendations for Phil Collins' Genesis but you asked for Peter Gabriel's Genesis and that was before my time as I didn't pick up on the band until Follow You, Follow Me in 1978 and Gabriel had left the band in 1975. I do have some Peter Gabriel solo recommendations:
...
Solsbury Hill (1977)
Games Without Frontiers (1980)
Sledgehammer (1986)
Don't Give Up (with Kate Bush, 1986)
Big Time (1986)
...
Sledgehammer was the biggest hit (UK #4 and US #1), but Don't Give Up (UK #9 and US #72) gives you two major artists for the price of one, and you need to investigate Kate Bush.
When I think of Peter Gabriel in Genesis, I see him in all these bizarre costumes and makeup. Once I think he was a flower? His solo work is great!
@@cherylreichardt - you might be thinking of the Sledgehammer video...

No Peter Gabriel Genesis song But Gabriel's Solsbury Hill is terrific.
I love alot of Peter Gabriel's solo work! He's still touring!
@@cherylreichardt 😊He has had a great career. Sledgehammer is one of the the best music videos ever.
Solsbury Hill is a great song , i like the cover done by Reina del Cid. Gabriel's Biko live is an anthem , above and beyond a song. the version by Peter Gabriel / Playing For Change is great. good day.
@@66edoug That video is amazing!
@@im-already-tired-tomorrow That is a great cover and Biko is definitely more than a song.
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
The best Peter Gabriel Genesis song to start with is "Firth of Fifth" (Trust me!) 😎😎❤❤😊😊

Just one comment and this coming from a fan who saw them live from 1976-2007,you could of definitely picked a more classic Genesis tune then this.
I always felt like In Too Deep was a Phil Collins solo pop song inserted into an album technically labeled as Genesis
This album came out a year after Collins' solo album "No Jacket Required" went to #1 on the charts and spawned four top-10 singles, so the record company probably wanted the album to have a couple of tracks like this on it.

You should react to Survivor's "Didn't Know It Was Love"
Very good song. 👍

I'd suggest Genesis "Land of Confusion", however Ethan has likely heard the song. If not, it is a suggestion...
Try supper's Ready from Genesis and Rock on 🔊🎼🎵🎶🎙

From a little bit earlier in their career, check out "Guide Vocal" from their album Duke.

There you go again - "Back with Genesis. We have never done them ." That makes no sense. Back with Genesis means you would have done them before.
“Back” meaning “we are back” and with Genesis. Not meaning that we’ve done them before. -Ethan

Personally, i only listen to the Mick Barnard Genesis era.
Lol for all of 2 seconds !!! He was gone by 1970..
Not my favourite Genesis song, too soft, I love Tony Banks's keyboard riff though
