I haven’t received any kind of notification that my box shipped.

Some others bring to mind Gentle Giant, ELP, Moodies and Procol.

Oh yeah! Dear Diary. How could I have missed that.

Supper's Ready - The Musical Box
Stagnation - The (ice-cold) Knife

There is nothing that I ever skip when I put a CD on, but I don't listen to anything pre-Trespass. I also regard their post-And Then There Were Three output as far more variable in quality compared with their earlier material, which I think of as being…

Oh you're not wrong there. The 1st three lasted one tour, the other two stayed for the Duke tour, as did Lady. In fact D&O didn't even last the one tour, it got dropped during the tour! Ballad might've too?

Definitely a transitional album, and sort of an awkward leap between eras. Tony and Mike dominate (as they also would on CAS) since Phil is not quite ready yet to be a full contributor to the writing.

"Follow You Follow Me" was the first song Genesis…

And, of course, that's probably the only case where a later Genesis song's title actually came from the earlier song's lyrics!

Dancing with the Moonlit Knight: Paperlate

I think there was a thread like this on another, long-ago message board; but I'd like to start a new one.

What Genesis songs can you think of that (intentionally or not) happen to have other songs' titles in their lyrics?

Here's what I know of off the…
