Classic Reactions Ep. 33: Genesis - Firth of Fifth | so THIS is Genesis!!

I'm late seeing this (been busy) but Peter Gabriel was the lead singer on this song--Phil Collins became the lead singer after Peter Gabriel left the band in the late 1970's to pursue a solo career (you may know him from hit mega hit album "So" which was released in the 1980s and had hits like "Sledgehammer"). The piano/keyboard player (Tony Banks) has an extensive classical music background which I notice you picked up on. He released an album of his own classical piano compositions a few years ago. The bass player is Mike Rutherford, who is an immense talent in his own right (Rutherford, Banks and Collins were the only remaining members in the 1980s of Genesis when they had a string of hit albums, but even then you can still hear hints of their prog rock origins in their pop hits). If you want to check out other Genesis music from the 1970s you may want to listen to "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" album (their last album before Gabriel left the band)--it is arranged somewhat like a prog rock opera and has a number of interesting tracks on it.

The Firth of Forth is a large bay just north of Edinburgh, Scotland, cool play on words for the title. Genesis was good, I enjoyed them, dropped out when Phil went solo. The harmony was good when they started. Thanks for reacting. #THG. ☕️☕️☕️☕️
