you know, i really like Phil Collins solo music (especially the earlier stuff), and I love Genesis' music, but . . .

there's definitely a very different feel between what they all did separately in solo projects (I do like some of Mike Rutherford's stuff with "Mike and the Mechanics" for example, though Tony Banks' solo stuff really fell short . . . he was better suited as part of an ensemble and not a solo artist) and what they did together as a group. and i'll say that I even like some of Peter Gabriel's solo work, but in the early years when he was with Genesis, he was a total nutjob on the performance stuff. I think that, while some of the early stuff was good, Genesis benefited greatly in the long run without Peter . . .

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was EPIC for it's time - Genesis' best IMHO -- nm - JenBro Jun 23, 13:46
Early Phil Collins and Collins/Genesis stuff was very similar. Lots of angry stuff and plenty of pop. - Mop Jun 23, 11:00 3
- that late 70's early 80's Collins when he was a workaholic and divorced every other year is outstanding stuff. -- nm - Remlik Jun 23, 11:18
- yeah . . . i guess you're right . . . it was the later stuff where it began to diverge . . . and while it might have been "frivolous" i still liked it - call me Ishmael Jun 23, 11:10 1
  - I don't necessarily mean "frivolous" in a bad way. "We Can't Dance" was a fun album. -- nm - Mop Jun 23, 11:19
Bateman, I said it then and I'll say it again. You're full of shit. -- nm - mud Jun 23, 11:00 2
- It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. - Spawn Jun 23, 11:04 1
  - i am particularly fond of the Domino / In the Glow of the Night piece -- nm - call me Ishmael Jun 23, 11:12
