I’m conflicted writing this. I love the band Genesis, but would I have plunked down major cash to see the band at this stage of their career? They did not have a concert scheduled anywhere near me, so the opportunity to see them was nil. After a 14-year hiatus from touring, Genesis regrouped to hit … More The Last Domino?: Genesis
Here is a list of bands. I have picked by favorite member that band. It could be I like their songwriting, or their musicianship or their persona. I picked bands usually with more than three members and where it was not one dominant personality, like the Electric Light Orchestra or Dire Straits. 10cc – Eric … More Favorite Band Member
Gosh, where do I start? A dozen won’t cover it. Twenty? They have released 15 studio albums, so a lot of choices. Let’s see. Below you will not see a lot of the hit singles, for two reasons. When the band started hitting the pop charts with “Follow You Follow Me” I was fearful the … More Favorite Genesis Songs
Genesis has announced their American/Canadian leg of their The Last Domino? tour. I believe it is safe to assume this could be the last Genesis tour, although if it goes well there might be more dates added later. Not only are these guys well into senior citizen status, but Phil Collins is barely mobile. If … More Last Time Around: Old-Time Rockers
I got this idea from fellow blogger Larry Graves, who regularly gives his YouTube followers a choice between two stacks of CDs. So, I thought, what they hey, I’ll try it too. I will list the contents of each stack of CDs, with a comparable quality of CDs. The idea is to make the choice … More Which Stack of CDs?
After listening to Larry Graves (https://youtu.be/j53bZQoI9dM) give his Top Ten British Bands, I had to do my own list. I really needed 12 selections instead of 10, The Kinks and the Moody Blues belong on this list, but nothing is perfect. The Beatles. This band should top any list. What more can you say about … More Top Ten British Bands
Favorite bands and musicians? My list is long. Picking one for each letter of the alphabet is challenging. Sometimes you have to work around a first name or last. Alan Parsons Project – A studio creation, two talented guys wrote the intricate songs and hired musicians to help create the music. For nearly a decade, … More Favorite Bands: A to Z
The last new music by these three was 29 years ago. After several tours, Phil Collins announced his departure from the band in 1996. The album was a massive hit (four million copies), although it failed to reach number one (only number four) in the U.S. There were hit singles on the album, although all … More Genesis: We Can’t Dance (1991)
My intent is not to review every Genesis album; this one was not even on my radar. Funny how your material picks itself. Duke was the beginning of their “pop” phase, although the strands of progressive-rock were prevalent in their music. Gone were the epic suites of long songs. Mostly. Duke was important for several … More Genesis: Duke (1980)
The title refers to the group as now a trio, after the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett. This happened to be their highest charting album on the American charts, and serves as the dividing line between their progressive-rock origins and the more commercial pop-rock incarnation. And Then There Were Three is a quirky album, it … More And Then There Were Three: Genesis (1978)
