You know, I haven’t talked about anything music-related in a
long minute. I think I need to change that today. It’s back to Genesis,
and yes, I’m a black dude talking about Genesis, a progressive rock/pop/new
wave band. I’m allowed to have good taste, right? Right. A few years ago, I did a small list of my favorite songs from both the group and Phil Collins and I think
it’s time to update that list. I’ve listened to a lot more of Genesis since then. I
don’t know if I’d call myself a big Genesis fan. I’m probably a decent fan.
I’ve even listened to the era that doesn’t get played on radio.
For those who don’t know, Genesis started out in the late
60’s and grew over time into a progressive rock group. Collins wasn’t even in
it at the beginning. He didn’t come around until their third album. After their
original frontman, Peter Gabriel, left in the mid-70’s, the group stayed like
that until the late 70’s and 80’s where their music started to become more mainstream.
You didn’t come here for a history lesson though. Today, I’ll list off my
favorite songs from the group. Since the group’s catalog is pretty sizable, I
thought I’d split it up by eras: The Gabriel Era and the Collins Era. That
should keep things simple.
