Definitely not the only one. The emotion in Phil's voice slays me every time. And yes, always good to hear Tony on a real piano!! Otherwise i like Harold Demure's suggested tracklisting and will give it a try over the weekend.
Hope you liked it!

I'm probably the only one, but I like "Since i lost you", the only song on the album where Tony plays on a real piano.
I don't mind it either, it's pleasant enough. Tony's not a fan though judging by interviews

Could have been a Genesis classic of cot down to around 50 minutes. It's just too long. No really bad songs but too many mediocre songs mainly on the last half of the album
I agree, some of the material is up there with their best and the production hasn't dated.

It's hard to argue with that, although adding Hold On My Heart would be a nod to the 'ballad' aspect
I get where you're coming from. It's probably my least favourite song from the WCD era but by that point a ballad on a Genesis album was de rigueur.

Love these podcasts, the interviews are really in-depth and the editing is superb

I really like your side 2.
Thanks! It strikes me as the heavier more atmospheric side of the two

I like this game, you might want to have a go at other albums too on this thread!
Great idea! Sorry, I missed this thread!

Hi there - long time forum lurker, first time poster!
Probably like many, I've often thought that We Can't Dance is far too long for it's own good, and a very decent album is lurking somwhere underneath the surface with a few tracklist alterations.
This is my suggested tracklist, which on my Spotify playlist flows much better to my ears. I've broken it up into two sides as that's how I always knew the album.
Side 1:
No Son Of Mine
Jesus He Knows Me
Hearts On Fire
I Can't Dance
Driving The Last Spike
Side 2:
On The Shoreline
Dreaming While You Sleep
Living Forever
Fading Lights
Whilst the rest of the alterations were pretty easy for me, there were a couple I pondered on. Firstly, I Can't Dance is not a fave of mine at all, but it is a pretty popular and unique Genesis song in the wider world and also gives a little bit of light in what is otherwise a pretty heavy album. Also, until recently I'd always thought of Hearts On Fire as nice enough but nothing special and sounding a bit unfinished anyhow. Then I listened to the Nick Davis remix for the first time in years a few months back and it sounded much stronger than I remembered. Definitely stronger to my ears than any of the ditched tracks.
What are your thoughts on WCD?
