      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, uh, 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.

    • @gregmark1688

      It was originally 4-channel music invented on the Amiga in the late 80s. It was a way to make this kind of music on a computer long before anything like mp3 was possible. Even long songs could be under a megabyte or two, so they could be downloaded over phone modems from BBSes. They were extremely popular, especially in the early 90s when they made their way to PCs.

      Tracker music was made in tracker programs, starting in the late 1980s on computers like the Amiga and then spreading to PC in the 90s. It's like MIDI except the files contain samples so they sound the same on every computer. It was a popular way to make music in the early days of the internet, and a lot of tracker songs became really famous and widespread. This playlist was created from the highest rated tracker songs and it contains a lot of classics that people remember.
