5/15 Never did anything for me, lyrically or musically
seems that I’m the only one who doesn’t love this song. I’ve tried, but it just doesn’t work for me. Quite honestly, the entire album leaves me cold. I don’t dislike it, it just does nothing for me.

I gotta say I'm surprised that more people don't like Silver Rainbow on here. I'm personally not a huge fan of it myself, but in other past forums (that have long since closed down sadly), I would hear fans gush over how great of a song it is-and I was the one thinking it was overrated LOL!
At the end of the day, it's all personal preference I suppose. For example-It's Gonna Get Better (though seemingly forgotten by many fans) is actually one of my favorite Genesis songs!
For me, the brief instrumental passages in ‘It’s Gonna Get Better’ are interesting, but the song itself I find very dull. Like you said, it’s all personal preference.
Display MoreI'm not surprised to see SEBTP is #1.
I AM however, surprised to see Genesis is 2nd from the bottom!! That one is my #3:
1. WCD
2. ATOTT
3. Genesis
Interesting. I would have WCD at the absolute bottom of all Genesis albums. There is literally nothing on it that would make me want to listen to it ever again.
I'm really enjoying this CD and was surprised when I logged on here to not find any discussion of it - or am I missing something ?
It's a bootleg. I think there was some discussion of it within the BBC release thread.
P.S. Why is this posted under the "New Members" section, and not under the "Music" section?
Can't vote on this one, as I've never heard a single Ray Wilson (or Stiltskin) song.
How would you describe his music?
Finally started this book last night. One chapter in, and I definitely don't like the writing style....not sure if the problem is the author or the translation.
I had to laugh at the copyright page. I don't even normally look at that page, but on this one it mentions that the buyer cannot lend the book to others, nor re-sell it. Makes me want to lend the book to a friend for sure....come and get me 
Not sure that pointing out the very narrow scope of her top 10 is "picking it apart at the sub-atomic level"

Some interesting choices here, like Never a Time?! Also some interesting nuggets - I never knew Driving the Last Spike charted on the billboard 200. Also some inaccuracies at first glance.
9 of the 10 are from IT or WCD. Truly a deep dive into their history 
5. Like most of Hackett’s more recent stuff, it does nothing for me. Some ok sections, but doesn’t work as a whole
Got mine in the mail today. Might be a while til I get a chance to read it, as I already have a large stack of books yet to be read.
I'll post some thoughts after I've read it.
Today, his reaction video was for 'Stagnation'
The thread that won’t go away
I really like Say its alright Joe, until it gets to the instrumental part when it seems Tony reverts back to an 8yr old with a new keyboard hitting the sound affect buttons thinking it's cool.
The instrumental section is by far the best part of the song. And it’s not even that good of an instrumental section.
I’m not sure how your post even relates to this old, old thread.
Oh I'll take
over the sub-Adrian Mole "beware the fisherman casting out his line into a dried-up riverbed" every time!
EDIT: though on reflection the fisherman one is at least amusing
Different strokes for different folks.....I absolutely love the "beware the fisherman" lines
Not one of my favorite Genesis albums, but absolutely love this track.
The rehearsals are very similar here. As for marketing - don't tell me that the lack of a band website for 6 years is normal, because it's not normal. Therefore, those who deal with marketing in this team (marketing directors, their subordinates) - should simply leave their positions. Life experience teaches me (I'm a young person) that you have to fight for everything, drill yourself, search. I do exactly the same at work and I get results. I'm surprised that people who know management well don't suggest anything, don't ask them - and maybe release this and that, hire sound and video engineers. I'll bet 100% that even such an attempt has not been made.
Lack of a band website for 6 years.....for a band that last recorded any new material more than 25 years ago. For a band that has flat out said they're done. Seems reasonable to me.
In various posts, you've talked about hiring 10-15 sound engineers to release more concerts. Do you know how expensive that would be? Do you really think they'd make a profit?
This band has released 6 live albums. They've released another 4-5 discs worth of live material on box sets. They're releasing a new 5 disc set, of which 4 discs are live. I think they've released more live material than most bands. Sure, there's stuff I'd like that they've never officially released......but that stuff is pretty readily available as bootlegs.
As far as the rehearsals.....I'm a guy that owns about 200 CDs worth of Genesis + solo material....and I would have zero interest in buying rehearsals. I'm guessing I'm not the only one.
I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I've got nothing else to do. 
Blimey. In my attempt to get it from Barnes and Noble (see Backdrifter comment re Amazon) I discovered an academic book from 2008 about TLLDOB. Seemingly by a professor of musicology in Kentucky. I'd say this is a dense read!
I have that one. It wasn't as academically dense as I expected.
I've heard of The Movement, but what are Little Leaf and Wooden Mask?!
Here's a link that might help ya
Absolutely this. Added to which, remember this part of the thread has focused in on the staggeringly doolally notion that Genesis, of all bands, would commercially release rehearsals. REHEARSALS.
100% agree with this post, although I had to look up the word "doolally"
