I think that Invisible touch is the most overrated. I don't like this one at all.

Well, you are not alone... Some music critics played frizbee with that one.
Domino does redeem it a bit though.

I know of only one person who claims to have played frisbee with it ... and whether he can be called a "music critic" *shrug*

Of course this album was a big winner for the band and there is no denying it. Hey, I'm a critic(

)... but did not play frizzbee wth it. I was too poor back then to throw away money like that.

It is interesting that Genesis would include that Alan Hewit comment on their
Songbook DVD. Perhaps he was so very supportive of them over the years that they let him have that little slip.

I CAN,T DANCE. Just can not get into the song and i avoid it at every chance i get. The song is sooooo annoying!! i can not believe the same band who did Suppers Ready,Firth of Fifth and Abacab made this crap song.

Aah, it wasn't bad at the time. Funny little thing, particularly with the video which took the mickey out of dressmen in general and a certain jeans commercial (this one). But I Can't Dance has not dated very well. Like Illegal Alien the humour the songs displayed when they were new has turned kind of sour over the years.

But it is definitely by the same band who recorded Squonk, More Fool Me and Who Dunnit

Sorry M but I'm in agreeance with Sir_drummer....ICD was and still is pretty crap, it's a song that never floated my boat and I hear what your saying about the funny video and what it stood for, but IMO give me the song 'Jesus He Knows Me' especially the video and the mickey taking that song portrayed!! It still makes me LOL now

You don't have to apologize, Visions. You are perfectly entitled to be wro... I mean, to your own opinion

Isn't one of the differences between ICD and Jesus He Knows Me that nobody (well, very few people) know about that jeans commercial while TV evangelists are, like the Giant Hogweed, still around? I enjoy JHKM every now and then, but I Can't Dance was funny only in 1992. It isn't too inventive, either, and is worse on its own than along with the video. And I am glad that they played another song after ICD in the 2007 tour. A song that is far superior to that ditty.

Sir_drummer · 08-14-2010, 09:26 PM

Then the band must had a bad day or week when they made ICD. I would take Who dunnit over ICD any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I have to admit the ICD video is funny when you first see it. IMO More Fool Me is a Masterpiece compared to ICD.

Land of Confusion is a bit over rated as well.
