Good to see Genesis well-represented here.
A Trick of the Tail is a special album for me. Of all of the Genesis songs, “Ripples” will always be my favorite.
The Knife is one of my favorite early Genesis songs. 70's people thought it was a protest song, but in fact the Old Carthusians (the boys from Charterhouse) were mocking the protesters.
I think of AOC if she were ever given power every time I hear the song now.
Post Gabriel Genesis gets a lot of grief, but I'd rather listen to every track on Trick than all of Lamb, for which I can only find joy in 4 or so tracks.
There's a point in Mad Mad Moon where, after the whole latin rhythm middle section winds up and ends on this leading tone sustained synth note that resolves to the home key that is just magical.
