Replied to the thread Inexplicable Album Titles.Post[…]
Viva La Vida and Death & All His Friends are both tracks on that album, so it's named after them. Despite its negative-sounding title the song Death & All His Friends has a positive tone to it, with the refrain "I don't want a cycle of recycled… -

Replied to the thread TotW 06/10/2024 - 06/16/2024: GENESIS - Misunderstanding.PostWhat first got me into Genesis was hearing "Turn It On Again" on the radio in 1980, but hearing "Misunderstanding" on the radio as well also contributed to that. Both were influential in getting me to check out DUKE, even if the latter didn't end up… -

Replied to the thread Ant-era Songwriting Credits (1967-1970).PostThere's information in this earlier thread, which itself points to an even earlier thread, and for Trespass there is this wiki entry setting out individual lyrics/music credits -

Replied to the thread TotW 06/10/2024 - 06/16/2024: GENESIS - Misunderstanding.PostIt's derided by many fans, certainly on here but while it's not in my top 20 I've never had a problem with it.

Misunderstanding has about as much swing to… -

Replied to the thread TotW 06/10/2024 - 06/16/2024: GENESIS - Misunderstanding.PostIt's a perfect pop song with a nice keyboard arrangment. -

Replied to the thread TotW 06/10/2024 - 06/16/2024: GENESIS - Misunderstanding.PostAssume the chart position is US, as Follow You Follow Me made no 7 in the UK?
8 from me, it's OK, but clearly "Phil solo" stitched onto the band. -

Replied to the thread “Abacab” Tribute Band Playing in Delaware.PostWell, Abacab's show last night would certainly satisfy any fan of the proggy stuff. I've been a fan for years and I've seen them close to a dozen times and this was by far the heaviest set they've ever played.

Replied to the thread Ant-era Songwriting Credits (1967-1970).PostI don't know if it can help:
In "The Conqueror", in Easlea's Peter Gabriel biography, it appears that King asked Silver to play like Charlie Watts on "Get Off of My Cloud".
