Filipe,
Phil Collins lead singer on And Then there where three
My favourite Era albums are Gabriel era - Nursery Cyrme - Selling England by the Pound
Collins Era - Wind and Wuthering - Seconds Out ( live album from 1977)
After Genesis 1984 - I lost interest as Collins had turned them into an Adult orientated pop band in my opinion.
Saw Gabriel with Genesis in 1982 at Milton Keynes bowl but to young to see them in their prime Gabriel years
Abacab, Invisible Touch, We Can't Dance. They're not too shabby albums, are they TC?
No of cause there not Mike.But the tunes didn't really do it for me on Invisible Touch and We can't Dance.I like Abacab though.
When Steve Hackett left in 1977 they lost a lot of their atmosphere in the songs.I appreciate that bands have to go in a new direction sometimes but went off them.My first gig was Genesis at Knebworth in 1978 and it was a great memory.I was 13 !!
How is “And Then There Were Three” regarded? Not their best? Thanks for your responses TC and Mike.
Phil

I also thought they declined after Gbriel left, and only bought 2 vpbfore giving up. My favourite by far - and one I often play even now, is Lamb Lies Down.

Genesis - and then then there were three - CD (1978 remastered 2007)
Bought from Oxfam for £2.99 - not their premium price. I think this album is a bit demanding on the system and was pretty much unlistenable when the demo 252 was newly installed. It’s very full of sound, but it is really quite good at a lower volume (8 o’clock). The lyrics are very good and there is a lot of beauty to the music. Maybe some of the classics got drummed into this ex Charthouse public school band!
Opinions on best Genesis albums from the various eras very welcome. Who is the lead singer of this trio?
Did anyone ever see the show man (Peter Gabriel) perform with them?

Hi Phil

Spookily I bought Wind&Wutherimg today for 99p from our local British Heart Foundation shop and very fine it sounds too as it is an early copy,I believe this is from the Phil Collins era but my first stab at their still progressive period

Trader Horne - Morning Way, WAV CD rip

Judy Dyble (Fairport) and Jackie McAuley (Fairport) made up Trader Horne, listening to it you could probably guess its 1969 vintage. Judy’s voice is lovely here, both in the simple recordings and on the multitracked ones, blending well with McAuley’s. A fantastic set of hippy-folk songs, well played, well sung, well worth a listen.

Prince & The New Power Generation - Diamonds and Pearls Beginnings.

Continuing with the Prince rarities, a studio demo of the Diamonds and Pearls album, and once again, it's quite fascinating to listen to

the original concepts which eventually became the released versions. cool
