Quote from Duke of Earl of Mar

I feel the same as both of you. I love the main groove, the sax is a bit cheesy, but those were the times.

In general, I would say No Jacket Required is not my favourite Phil Collins album. I like Inside Out, Long Long Way To Go, Take Me Home, Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore, and We Say Hello Goodbye especially... The rest is, you know, songs that are very often on radio, and they have become "what Phil Collins is about" over the years in people's minds : upbeat 80's songs with overuse of DX7 cheesy sounds, if you know what I mean. I doubt Phil himself is really keen on those "radio hit" songs, judging by what he said in his autobiography.

I prefer the darker, angry Phil (his two first albums...).

Another person who also prefers darker, angry Phil here, but Inside Out is a brilliant song from a mostly brilliant album (despite what Phil himself seems to think of it). 15. Not only that, but I saw him do it.

Some of those are pushing it, although the John Phillips/Bob Dylan one I found interesting. I have both albums and it has never occurred to me that Dylan might have copied Phillips.

Given that both Liverpool & Arsenal lost last night, I think that might be it. Again.

Hmm... No mention of Beatles / SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND vs. Mothers of Invention / WE'RE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY?

I know. To be fair, I did mention that in an earlier post in this thread.

Quote from Backdrifter

Fair enough. As a Tottenham fan, given our increasingly woeful performances it's unlikely we'll be able to help you on that front in our next fixture.

You certainly didn't. Mr FIC/NUFC enjoyed watching it last night....

Reviving this because I've found a whole stack of these on the Ultimate Classic Rock site:

Quote from Backdrifter

Bold of you.

It's because as a Liverpool fan I need it to happen. One ridiculously unimaginable tip can't hurt. I can't win the contest anyway. But Villa have impressed this season.

Well, well. Abacab & Money For Nothing. It's possible, I suppose. My default answer is Mark Knopfler's songs are unique and not influenced by anyone ever (except J.J. Cale). I can vaguely hear a similarity.

That's All. It may be more pop than prog but it's so catchy... Noit everything has to be complicated and I don't know how to describe the complicated stuff.

Quote from thewatcher

I'm fairly certain it was. Didn't one of them make a comment to effect of "we know how to play it" during an interview or promo of some sort? It's a hazy memory so I can't pull up a reference but it gave me the distinct impression they had rehearsed it and until late in the game was a contender for making the setlist. Actually it's one I've heard on the radio and in bars in the US here, so I was convinced they'd swap it in for the US leg of the tour, and specifically avoided the set list discussions after the European leg was over.

Edit: we had a discussion about it before!

Nothing from Abacab again

I know they rehearsed the song Abacab but ultimately it wasn’t played. It is now three straight tours now without any songs from that album. Is that the bands least favorite album? In my opinion it was a pretty important album in Genesis history since it was a transitional album to their more pop era. Curious what everyone thinks about this omission?

Edit 2: I just read through it, and it devolves into a dirgey thread with little to recommend it 😃. Best avoided

As someone who was heavily involved with it it was interesting to read it again.

Quote from Thelawnmower

Cracking track on any terms, great opener for an album, great way to announce a new direction and a track where each member contributes a first rate performance. I like it as a single and as an album track and especially so because it is driven by very strong drumming.

Like Backdrifter, I like the lyrics, although for a long time I thought it was ‘there’s a hole in the somewhere’ which I still prefer and would make it even more off the wall. Happy times

Agreed about 'hole in the somewhere'' although it makes no sense, Perfect song. 15.

I just read that, thanks for posting. I notice he gives a shoutout to both Dylan & Morrison (Van) on the new album. Re Finnegan's Wake - I've read it twice.

As to whether or not he should have kept Dire Straits going, I'm just glad I saw them at their peak, and also on the On Every Street tour. I can't say that about any other major band (although I did see Queen on the Works tour).

I am listening to all Phil's albums in succession & have nearly finished NJR. Starting to get less angry, dark & moody, and more insistent use of brass which I know he loves but on NJR it detracts from the songs. Not as many woe is me ballads (yet). The first two albums remain the pinnacle.

Oops, I missed this. I knew I should have done them both at once.

Finally, FINALLY a Genesis tribute band - The Cinema Show, which bills itself as the Australian Genesis show. This just popped up in my Facebook feed. Their previous Sydney show was too far away from me but I can do this one. They claim they do Gabriel & Collins stuff as well.

Quote from IWishItWouldRainDown

I'm not trying to change the tastes of the others (in the same way that I don't want my tastes to be changed). But what can't be denied is that Mr Sheeran lacks talent, to put it mildly.

I'm not saying that all teenage pop, not at all. You can find a lot of (very) good singers in that genre. But I'm saying is that either Sheeran or Bieber are certainly not one of them.

The Spice Girls at their time were far more relevant and nowadays the most charismatic member is on the spotlight just for being the wife of the head of a F1 team (Red Bull). That was the point of my initial comment that it is quite probable that they will be largely forgotten in a few years.

And last but not least, Collins has sold far more than Sheeran, Bieber and the Spice Girls put together and has a larger fanbase. But, alas, this has not been prevented a sick vilification campaign towards him from the 90s onwards by some certain media-players . And what is undeniable is that Mr Collins has been a far more important and emblematic than Sheeran, Bieber, the Spice Girls and Swift together (both solo and with Genesis).

I will just repeat that opinion is not fact, and while I agree that Phil has been unfairly villfied, that is hardly the fault of artists like Sheeran & Bieber. We seem to be getting into another area now.
