Don't.

>>129569581
collins era is when concise songwriting begins

Either Selling England by the Pound or Foxtrot, those are their two best albums

>>129569602
They started to suck after Duke.

>>129569609
i agree. my point is trick of the tail up to duke is the peak of genesis

>>129569616
Why the hate for Peter tho? Too thetrical? Too intelecual?

>>129569623
i don't hate it at all. i just prefer the writing, focus, and production of early collins era.

I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent.
I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument.
In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock.
Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist.

Fair. I like the early Collins era, but nothing can compare to stuff like The Musical Box, Supper's Ready, ect
