dim brain: the height of 80s pop-prog is rush's moving pictures lit brain: the height of 80s pop-prog is yes's 90125 galaxy brain: the height of 80s pop-prog is the duke suite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNrnNuyqXqw i'm glad i got into genesis last year. turns out that while their late 80s stuff is a bit too poppy for me, and their peter gabriel stuff is fun but a bit Too Much for me, duke/abacab/self-titled genesis is exactly what i want from prog

Abacab is drat masterpiece. I love when the bass comes in almost 2:30 minutes into this track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5O9I7F83io

As much as I love what Marillion, Pendragon, and IQ did in the 80s, I think it's fair to say that there'd have been no prog revival without the older bands shifting into that pop-prog style to give credibility to the idea that prog doesn't have to be a more-inaccessible-than-thou arms race.

It’s not Prog if the song isn’t at least 4 hours long and only uses sounds that occur naturally in outer space.

I'm struck by how many "Gabriel-isms" are in Phil's vocals. I wonder if that's a conscious effort or if it's just a Charlie Parker/Sonny Stitt kind of thing where they sound alike only because they listened to the same kind of stuff.

Also I'm kinda diggin' it. e: Didn't realize this was the album That's All came from. Phil's really goin' to town on the vocals this album.

Phil era Genesis is honestly pretty good all the way through. Even Invisible Touch and We Can’t Dance have some long complex songs on them.

For the longest time I was all and only about Selling England by the Pound. Something about that album really clicked, and it took me a while to open up to even Gabriel's other ones. I'm still not sold on Lamb (though The Samurai of Prog's cover of The Lamia is great). Also for the longest time I didn't think I liked Yes even though all signs said I should've, 'til I realized a handful of those '80 songs I liked were Yes. It's been difficult qualifying my tastes. e: Well, Genesis' Genesis was short but sweet. vvv: somewhat the opposite problem Lamb had.

like most overlarge double albums, the lamb'd make a killer single record if you let an editor at it

"it" is a really good closer, and I think you could salvage some other bits, fit them in if you drop some of the pointless stuff from the first disc, like, I could do without ever hearing "counting out time" or "grand parade" ever again

I'd say by Clutching At Straws at the absolute latest Marillion had carved out a niche which was unmistakably theirs and didn't resemble any of the 70s bands all that closely (and indeed there aren't really any 70s albums which sound much like Script For A Jesters' Tear).

Fish-era Marillion is something special alright. Hogarth-era not as much, but Brave hits pretty hard (especially with the Steven Wilson mix). Pallas is some great neo-prog too: https://open.spotify.com/album/7dDNkXsAVYRXi8zogb98WS Twelfth Night is also some underrated poo poo, but it’s a weird case as they're incredible live... https://twelfthnightuk.bandcamp.com/album/live-and-let-live-2021 ...but suck the second you put them in a studio. https://twelfthnightuk.bandcamp.com/album/fact-and-fiction-1982-studio-recordings JAMOOOL posted:don't even need an editor, just throw the 2nd LP in the trash The Lamb Disc 2 has some great jams, although it'd comprise of not much more than a side total. Though that could've been remedied if they weren't insistent on the anti-audiophile ritual of shoving 52 minutes into a single vinyl disc. Could've still filled out 2 discs nicely if it were Goodbye Yellow Brick Road length instead of like 100 minutes. Lamb is still my favorite Genesis regardless. Hammer Bro. posted:e: Well, Genesis' Genesis was short but sweet. Side 1 is one of the strongest halves of an album ever committed to record. Side 2 is more of a mess, but whatever.

Guitar solo's neat. Mix seems like it drowns James out a bit, which presumably is because they've realized that James really isn't that great of a singer but they can't fire him without breaking the band up.
