A few Collin’s songs made it to Miami Vice, if memory serves.

I think he was a guest star on the show.

one of thee worst Genesis albums. For the most part it was all downhill after Duke.

Saw The Invisible Touch tour in 1987. I may still have the ticket stub.

Best tv show ever.

Every episode is on Starz.

Loved Genesis but of course Collins has to be a big lefty. “Land of Confusion” along with its video was a typical conservative hate fest .

I still like “Paperlate” better.

Probably the best Genesis song of all time - including the Peter Gabriel era.

My favourite Genesis albums are Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound, Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, And Then There Were Three, and Genesis (1983). I wasn’t a big fan of Invisible Touch either.

Having seen this band in concert more than five times, starting with, And Then There Were Three, it’s the only band whose albums I cannot enjoy anymore. They were so dynamic in concert it makes their albums pale. I would have given anything to see a Peter Gabriel reunion if they performed, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.

LOL... He gets bashed in the U.K. for being an alleged conservative. In reality, I don’t think he’s political, but he’s not a big lefty. I don’t think the band had anything to do with that video.

On Facebook, I follow nostalgia pages for Ottawa and other nearby places and there have been a few vintage ads shared by people of Genesis concerts going back to the Nursery Cryme/Foxtrot era and I’ve read stories about the sort of very unique experiences those shows were even back then.

This is not a ‘Wrath of Kahn’ Star Trek thread I surmise.

One of the worst songs too. It was more like a Phil Collins solo song than Genesis. Genesis was good Phil sucks.

Ditto.

PS; Marineland was my favorite place to visit in the 60’s, lived close enough to get there by bicycle.

The only Genesis song I really liked was “Throwing It All Away” - catchy tune and the lyrics hit close to home. Good music video, too.

Wow, time flies. I was 13 at the time. Invisible Touch was definitely the song I associate with the summer of ‘86, much like Power of Love was the summer of ‘85. Funny how music elicits so many memories and emotions.

I also agree that Throwing it All Away was the best song on the album. Maybe their best song ever.
