Sidenote:



I am a bit of a Genesis fan, but I haven't heard all they have done.
(by the way, I LOVE this song by Mike Rutherford: Silent Running)

Are you a big Genesis fan?
If so, which are your five favorite tracks?
In case I've missed some great ones...

This is my favourite

I managed to see them once in 2007, fantastic. Steve Hackett still tours.

The Album "Duke" is a masterpiece. "Turn it on again" and " Misunderstanding" were the singles but this was my pick.

This is my favourite

I have never heard it, it sounds very experimental. A cool song and very, very good drums and percussion. Somehow it reminds me a bit of Pink Floyd (pre-Dark Side of the Moon, perhaps?)

My favourite Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush on backing vocals

Gosh, that's an excellent song, I'm saving that one. It hits VERY close to some of my favorite genres. Excellent theme, excellent beat, excellent fills, excellent feeling. Quite spooky/haunting. In fact, the feeling of the fundamental beat and fills are even quite close to the feeling of drums in some of the music I've done. To me it sounds a bit electro, downtempo and "triphoppy".

Excellent, 10/10 from me.


Edit: The simple synthriff that enters at 3:18, so darn cool and effective.
The sound of it, gosh it's good!

Thanks!

I am glad you like it.

It is almost entirely synths. Guitar the only non synth.

They recorded in 1979 when electro pop was taking off and this is what happens when a great singer and musician gets new sounds to play with.

Finding out years later Kate bush did backing vocals was the cream on the cake, when we found out every one was saying, ”Yeah of course it’s her!”

They collaborated years later on “Don’t give up.”

@pinball1970 :

I've discovered that the UK trip hop band Massive Attack did a remix of the song :
(a bit less "electro" and more moody, I'd say (I prefer the original, of course, but I think the remix is interesting))

Peter Gabriel, games without frontiers, Massive Attack remix

 

[Hornbein]

Here's "my" version featuring Mia Mizuhashi. She subsequently and unexpectedly became a superstar in China, so she no longer makes wonderful artistic stuff like this.



Note that the lyrics were altered to pass the censor. It's not really about kissing balloons in the jungle.

It's Peter Gabriel (feat. Kate Bush) in the amazing song "Games Without Frontiers":

Yes I know that

Yes I know that

This is just the track right? From 1980?

 

[Hornbein]

Right. Different visuals. (I do this a lot.)

I don't know why I like this song... or this band.
I don't understand any of the words. I just like the beats and melodies.

Interesting unusual sound, avantgarde, but very tight.
It sounds to me it has elements of psychedelic rock, punk and metal.
Not something I often hear.

Edit:

Genres according to Wikipedia:
Progressive, psychedelic, alternative, hard rock, heavy metal

The band is Pilgrimage to 88 places. That takes place on the island of Shikoku.

Six million views! Amazing it's so popular. It IS catchy and intriguing.

That weird custom made ebass with the long horn is a good idea. Most ebasses tend to neck dive.

 

[Hornbein]

It sort of reminds me of this.

Any song with the lyrics "La La La La" or "Na Na Na Na" is an instant hit. This one is at the top of my list in this sub-category of "Why do I like this song?":

@Hornbein made me discover this gem. I checked the other stuff she does, yet, nothing compares to this song that I could listen on a loop.

I have no idea what the song is about except that the title is a tautology.

I was thinking it could be about playing live? and that is what"life" is for them? It isnt.

A band that I surprised myself liking is Depeche Mode. There are the obvious popular songs but a roommate who loved them made me discover a lot more that I inexplicably like. Here is just a sample:
