My wonderful Reply to Frank Swarbrick's Mail:
FS> Although I'm a Genesis fan I've really never "gotten" "Supper's
FS> Ready." It's not a bad song or anything, but it just isn't all that
FS> stupendously wonderful. In fact, the whole _Foxtrot_ album is my
FS> least favorite early Genesis album (not including FGTR, of course). I

Hm.. *Foxtrot* is my favourite Album! Not only because of "Supper's
Ready", I also love "Watcher Of The Skies", "Time Table" - well, all of
Foxtrot...
It's only too sad I have no live recording of "Supper" with Pete on vocals
- but it will be on the boxed set, coming in autumn 1998 - they say...
FS> Selling England By The Pound
Beautiful thing! My favourite song on that one is "Firth Of Fifth", and
"Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" - "Cinema Show" is better on Seconds
Out, IMHO.
FS> Nursery Cryme
FS> Trespass
I've never really "gotten" that one - There are great songs on it, like
"The Knife" (of course), and "Visions Of Angels", but I can't get into
"White Mountain" of "Looking for Someone".
FS> The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Well, that's second best in my rating...
What Genesis-era do you prefer? I like PG-era best (as you might have
guessed)...
And does anyone know more about the box set? *Why* is it delayed so long?
And why have two of the demos already been released? The whole matter is
quite confusing...
So far,
Henning
