I remember when i was 7 and Invisible Touch came on the radio and Sledgehammer was around that time and i loved both. I was obviously aware of Phil Collins but i had no clue about Genesis or Peter Gabriel. Several years later finding out that Peter Gabriel was a founder member confused but intrigued me at the same time. So eventually i went out and bought Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot on CD. Then i went from liking this band to becoming absolutely obsessed. And in turn bored and amused my friends with my love of Genesis lol. Great video.
@@quaid667 I still love the shapes album, however I prefer side 1 (99% of people do) but side 2 has its grand moments like “Silver Rainbow”, good moments such as “Just a Job to Do” and “It’s Gonna Get Better”, nice moments like “Taking It All Too Hard” and its valleys such as “Illegal Alien”. 😌👍
nice to se lads your age appreciating decent music. I was a bit younger than you (14) when I first heard this. It was my first hearing of Genesis. They hadnt even recorded Wind and Wuthering back then. Still my favourite band today until ABACAB and after, and I was in denial how shit some of Duke was getting. I saw them on the Duke tour when I was 17 at Sheffield
@@turnerthemanc Nice, I would have loved to have been alive when they were still young and still altogether as a band and I love the albums like “Duke” and “Abacab” because they’ve changed my mind on music overall in a fantastic way. 😁👍
With Nursery Cryme, Genesis evolved musically, by then they had the ability to flit between pastoral quiet to more epic rock moments. The Mellotron sound, that had been added for the recording of NC, certainly did bring a plus in both tonal texture and symphonic touches. What's also interesting in this album is that it takes up some of the topics that were already present on the previous one (Trespass) having ballsy driving songs, wistful ballads, multi-segmented historical journey, and this time adding a comedy category the song ''Harold the Barrel'' tends to fall into
I love Nursery Cryme and agree it's somewhat an improvement on the more embryonic Trespass, but how much depends on what you're used to. If you can get into that folk / pastoral sound and appreciate Anthony Phillips' gentler approach to guitar, then there's a lot to love in Trespass -- even aside from The Knife.

@@quaid667 Nice, I love “Invisible Touch” as that album has some of my favourite Genesis songs and thank you for watching!! 😁👍
@@danielpalmersofficial the album before that one with Mama on it has started to become one I really like. You're very welcome 👍🏼
@@quaid667 That is a great song too, the original album version is the best because the single edit is cut down. ☺️👍
@@danielpalmersofficial very true. Nice one mate 😎👍🏼

This is a great album yes, I have a soft spot for “Harold the Barrel” as it’s very upbeat and I love the piano throughout the song. 😃👍
@@danielpalmersofficial Personally it is the Mellotron solo at the end of ''Seven Stones'' that kills me every time
@@frenchvinyladdict I agree, however it’s the Mellotron used in “The Fountain of Salmacis” that gives me goosebumps. 😁👍
@@danielpalmersofficial now you are talking 😊 Long live to your cool channel!
@@frenchvinyladdict Thank you!! 😎👍

I prefer their prog, Genesis let their true colours shine from this album and on. 😊👍
When you love Phil Collins on drums you need to listen through the Brand X catalog of course. :-)
@@nickgoogle4525 I haven’t listened to them, I definitely should though!! 😁👍
