Wow.. Just been taken for a spin in a Ferrari Testarossa (one of the regulars in my local, in case you're wondering).

Quick blast up the A30 and back but the golden moment came as we turned onto Crewkerne High Street.

A group of youths that were stood on the corner did a double take and in slow motion their lips mouthed the word "Ferr-rarr-ee" in unison as we cruised past with Phil Collins' Sussudio blaring out.

What a buzz!

Never heard Supper's Ready?

I'm sure one of the many prog rock fans that frequent these boards can help me with this one. There was a track by Genesis in which a young Peter Gabriel would take the stage wearing a floppy hat with a piece of straw hanging out of his mouth, thus looking like some kind of country bumpkin. Anyone know what this track was called? It was absolutely awesome but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Nor do I have the Googling skills to identify it either .

Not to mention the fact that I can't stand Phil Collins or Genesis

I did wonder.

IIRC one of his was the first song after our wedding (chosen by the DJ - not having been invited to (m)any weddings, I had no idea we were supposed to pick a 'first song'), but the whole day is a bit of a blur...

I did think it was unusually loquacious for a gentleman of few words such as yourself.

Phil Collins' solo efforts seem to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying in a narrower way

... taking the time to quote from the sections of a novel designed to flesh out the character of the protagonist who is actually insane....

whoo ... whole new levels of post-modernism going on here. This thread needs two alternate endings...

Don't blame me, I didn't write it

Oh, I see. You're being facetious...

Personally, I've been a huge fan ever since the Paperlate E.P. Not so familiar with the Gabriel era stuff though.

Maybe he's talking about the long haired chap in the foreground.

PS Oh yeh, JK was done for that too. Forgot.

The man who discovered Genesis:

What are you saying? That he was a dirty old paedo?

Well, he was. He discovered a lot of other acts of the 70s too...

YES!!!

Thank you for that.

Absolute class. What a performer Mr Gabriel was!

Phil Collins' solo efforts seem to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying in a narrower way, especially No Jacket Required and songs like "In the Air Tonight" and "Against All Odds" (though that song was overshadowed by the masterful movie from which it came) and "Take Me Home" and "Sussudio" (great, great song; a personal favorite) and his remake of "You Can't Hurry Love," which I’m not alone in thinking is better than the Supremes' original. But I also think that Phil Collins works better within the confines of the group than as a solo artist - and I stress the word artist. In fact it applies to all three of the guys, because Genesis is still the best, most exciting band to come out of England in the 1980s.
