awww... i figured you of all people would be able to appreciate the 80's-ness of it!
Do you like Phil Collins? 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. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. 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. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. 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. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. 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. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite. _________________ -=The Believer is Happy; the Skeptic is Wise=-

What I like about bands like Genesis, The Police and Rush is that all of the members are extremely talented musicians, whereas other bands just have a really good guitar player that can divert attention away from a shitty bassist or drummer. I've noticed that whenever one of the members of the above bands is doing an extremely difficult solo, the other members are also playing their own miniature song to that solo, which is just as difficult...and their time signatures are off the chain! People might not like the overall sound, but if you really know music and listen to what they're playing, you can't help but recognize their talent. _________________ This space is reserved for inarticulate meat puppets who have no true perspective outside the refuge of quotation marks.

Too few people recognize talent, skill and the structure of music. There's a reason bands like Genesis, The Police (they're gonna be touring this summer!) and Rush have been around so long... and why Smashmouth, for instance, Semisonic or the Spice Girls aren't working on their 12th studio album. Real musicians have more than a catchy chorus. _________________ -=The Believer is Happy; the Skeptic is Wise=-

Now I feel like listening to Mr. Mister. Or that song "Silent Running". Don't know why. _________________ Fuck you bitch!!! I told you the asparagus is in the freezer! - William Shatner
