This is not a matter of taste. There are others, but I could easily make argument that Genesis with Pete, Phil, and the three created the greatest most beautiful music ever made, and probably will ever be made, by man.
Rick Wakeman .. the living embodiment of the sublime “AND” the ridiculous. 😀 What a keyboard player/musician. Like Jon Lord who said .. what’s the point re being in a band and assoc’ nonsense .. if you’re not having fun. They became friends towards the end of Jon’s life and both could easily do an hour of stand up comedy .. with the best of them. 🎭
From my understanding "The Battle of Epping Forest" was based on article that Peter Gabriel read about two rivel gangs fighting on who would have territorial control. This song is right up there along with the song "The Knife."
The song turned out pretty nice even though it was a major flub at the beginning… Just check out the look, Rick Wakeman gave everybody else… Like WTH, are you guys playing.
As a 12 year old child I always felt a strong connection with this fantastic album that I'd bought soon after it was released ( there was a second hand record shop at the end of my road ) My musical tastes changed and I lost touch with it for a decade then re visited it . . For the masterpiece it is . . Almost a decade ago I'd just got out of my car in a wooded area and was about to walk to my canal boat when a songbird in a tree above me distinctly sang the riff I recognised from Close to the Edge 3:32 to 3:42 mins in this live vid - da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da Da-da ! I was astounded and thought " fuck me that bird just sang a riff from Close to the Edge ! " Later that day I heard on the radio that Chris Squire had died in the States at around the time this happened to me in Wiltshire about 15 miles North of Stonehenge . .
The thing is, most young people don’t realize that Chris Squire replaced McCartney as number one Bass in player six or seven years in a row in the Melody Maker polls
No human could actually sing the Boston tunes live. Brad was an amazing vocalist, but there is no doubt Tom did a ton of work manipulating his vocals in the studio.
There will never be anything like this again. Thank you Mike Peter Phil Tony and Steve. But if you get a chance, attend a Musical Box show - you will not believe your eyes and ears.
Truly magnificent Jon Anderon is remarkable. This is pure genius I'm 74 and dont think this will ever be surpassed even at Glastonbury 2024..such humility
You stand there with you fixed expression - wonder whether Bowie saw this gesture to camera and it made its way into his TOTP Starman later in the year
I remember being 10 years old and seeing James Young on the album and thinking "that guy is so bad ass" and now I see him as a skinny dude in a white tuxedo LOL
Saw them open for Jethro Tull in 71, then Black Sabbath in 72. After that, summer of 72 with Edgar Winter opening for them, 74 and 77 as headliners! They played a lot!
