Peter Gabriel

[Muteswan]

Born today in 1950. Fantastic artist and performer. Genesis poorer without him.

Genesis were much better without him. My opinion of course. Other views are equally valid. Just wrong.

Not everyone likes jazz either …apparently.

One of his weakest. Try red rain, or here comes the flood.

And as for our Wildfowler philistine…Abacab better than Suppers Ready? I can’t f*****g dance better than Cinema Show? Away back to Clase with you!

When I clicked on this I had a horrible feeling it was going to be another one gone.

Hell yes. Neither of those songs are 20 minute art student wankfests like most of Gabriel’s Genesis nonsense.

Oh dear....

And from a Mottley Crue fan to boot.

You can't teach taste.

Red Rain is fantastic too

I don't think Banks, Rutherford and Collins ended up poorer! But musically, IMO, they certainly lost a significant amount of the imagination which had made them stand out during their Gabriel period. 70-74, they were probably my favourite prog band in preference to Yes and I saw them live many times but that balance shifted somewhat when Yes released Relayer in '74 and permanently when PG left Genesis the following year. I thought some of the post-PG Genesis stuff was OK but for me, they'd lost a lot of what had made them different.

Er, "Supper's Ready" is the ONLY Genesis 20+ minute track ever so despite your assertion that most of Gabriel's Genesis stuff consisted of "20 minute art student wankfests", the fact is that, with only one exception in 6 entire studio albums or 7 if you count Lamb as 2, every single track was nowhere near that length with only 2 just about getting past 11 minutes. Looks like you've had a Badenoch moment there.
