Your 3 fave Genesis tracks

[ivan_2068]

Howe more versatile than Hackett? Sorry to continue with the debate, but I doubt it Yesspaz:

Voyage of the Acolyte : Progressive Rock 100%, one of the best albums in the symphonic sub-genre.

Please Don't Touch! : Amazing Lyrical album with Ritchie Havens, Randy Crawford and Steve Walsh, in the line of King Crimson mixed with pop.

Guitat Noir : Excelent rock-blues with basic string arrangements album.

A Midsummer Night's Dream : Classical instrumental album inspired by the Shakespeare play with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. MASTERPIECE

Tokyo Tapes : One of the best live albums in history, plays Genesis, Asia, King Crimson and own stuff, with by John Wetton (King Crimson, Uriah Heep, UK, Asia,) Ian McDonald (King Crimson,) Chester Thompson (Genesis) and Julian Colbeck (played with everybody.

And if you want more, there are nearly 30 more albums, each one of an excellent quality like Spectral Mornings, Defector, Bay of Kings and Highly Strung.

Even in Hackett's main type of music, the classical/folk vein, Howe is incomparable

Please, What are you talking about? Hackett playing Classical folk, sorry, that's not his main style.

About who's better, I don't know they are both in the same level but have completely diferent styles, in Genesis Hackett never tried the complex style of Howe, not because he wasn't capable, but because Genesis needed atmospheres, something in which he is the best.

Anderson over Gabriel - next

Well, we're here to disagree sometimes, and IMHO Peter Gabriel is from far the best prog' vocalist, maybe he soesn't have the vocal range of Lake or Wetton, but he sure knows how to sing,

Nobody could make 10 or 15 diferent voives (all by him) as in Battle for the Epping Forest (where he talks with himself) or Supper's Ready.

He knows how to transmit feelings like panic, desperation and claustrophobia like he did in the song In The Cage, you can almost feel the terror of being caught inside a trap, and then he transmits the fear and solitude when his brother John turns back.

Also his drama and theatrical capacity is proved in songs as Musical Box, when he turns from a 5 years old kid to an old man in love with a 5 years girl in a matter of minutes.

But, it's only my opinion.
