Genesis greatest band ever

[@CoasterMan13Official]

The 80s wouldn't have been the 80s without Phil Collins.

[@montgomerymiller6159]

The long version is much better than the radio edit. When you hear it on the radio you wish they had played the long version.

Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix

[@werborg1]

1st album I ever bought with my own money was genesis invisible touch on my 14th birthday 1986, happy times.

[@glennlanham6309]

you must be about my age, all my albums (yes, albums!) came from my older siblings!

This song has such energy genesis may have stopped touring but the music doesn't

[@ernestofric6421]

Those keyboards sound perfect.. it´s incredible that only three persons perform this music quality.

[@lidiabaker7100]

I grew up along the east coast most of my life. Last year I decided to explore the west. Driving from Missoula, MT, through Spokane, WA, to Seattle, in the middle of winter, and anyone who's from that area knows what I'm talking about when you go through the mountains of Coeur d' Alene, and those icy curves, anyway this song came on. I hadn't heard it probably since after I graduated, '86. The combination of the drive, and the song, the desolate road, it was something out of a dream.

[@frednorris828]

released on 18 September 1981 by Charisma Records. I was nineteen then and am still listening to this album now.

[@michaelp8856]

Can't thank Geneisis enough for their very unique music. I recall listening to this record my freshman year in college. my roommate would put this vinyl record on the record player each night. we would turn in to bed and the record would play through the night to help drawn out the dorm room noise. it's a great remembrance - especially ABACAB. ALSO: Only watch official sound tracks and videos from the artists - it's the best way to thank them.!!

[@De_Goeij]

They've sold the rights to their music to Concord Music Company in 2022.

[@o.portista]

These legends will always have a never ending legacy! What a way to start a new album with Abacab! Such an iconic track, and a Masterpiece. Real ones know what happened to the orginial premiere here, but glad they fixed it! We got to see two in one day. No Reply, and Abacab. Much love everyone! Wishing you all the best legends! 💙👑

[@turnleftaticeland]

🤘

[@oportista26]

Facts, it literally shocked us all when we all realized this wasn't Abacab, so they quickly had to re-upload to the correct one. I'm not sure if they are even Genesis fans for having this mixup. Has to be a 3rd party company. So surprised 😂

[@o.portista26]

@@oportista26 They just fixed the title too, must of been so stressful for them to make that flaw, but nobody's perfect

[@dennismoore9011]

I remember the day that I bought this CD. I opened it up, put it on my player and what a burst of energy! Tony Banks' organ was absolutely mesmerizing, and Phil's voice was to the moon! To this day, the track feels as fresh as it did the first day I heard it! You did it again, guys, And I thank you!

[@techmaester]

I remember where I first heard this song (not the shortened version perhaps 7"), and not long later, bought the CD. Still have it to this day. Back in the summer of 1996, while at a summer camp, I was gazing at the ceiling on my cabin-bunker when this song aired on the radio. It was an afternoon rest between activities with the tribe. Then came the commercial on Donatos Pizza covered edge-to-edge with 100 slices of pepperoni. What a 26-year-old memory.

[@BoBo0807]

CD? They didn't exist when this album came out...

[@frankmarsh1159]

​That's what I was thinking. Also this song has synthesizers not organ. lol.

[@BoBo0807]

@@frankmarsh1159 Although to be honest, Dennis (give me all your lupins!) said "when I first bought it" not "when it first came out." Mea culpa.

3 Sides live version of this fantastic song is epic, along 1987 Wembley version which was executed at a faster speed.

[@josegerardovillar8273]

When I first heard it I thought... what is this? I didn't expect this from Genesis. But then I realized how fresh and modern it sounded, without leaving the essence of Genesis ("Me and Sarah Jane", "Dodo-Lurker"). I'm just sorry they didn't include "Paperlate" instead of "Who dunnit?"

Lyrics to this Iconic hit: 🔥👑 Look up on the wall, there on the floor Under the pillow, behind the door There's a crack in the mirror Somewhere there's a hole in a window pane Do you think I'm to blame? Tell me, do you think I'm to blame? you're never there (When you show it) just stop and stare (Abacab) he's in anywhere (Abacab) If you're wrappin' up the world 'Cause you've taken someone else's girl When they turn on the pillow Even when they answer the telephone Don't you think that by now Tell me, don't you think that by now you're never there (When you show it) just stop and stare (Abacab) he's in anywhere (Abacab) doesn't really care Do you want it? You got it, now you know Do you want it? You got it, now you know It's an illusion, it's a game Or reflection of someone else's name When you wake in the morning Wake and find you're covered in cellophane Well, there's a hole in there somewhere Yeah, there's a hole in there somewhere Baby, there's a hole in there somewhere Now there's a hole in there somewhere you're never there (When you show it) you stop and stare (Abacab) he's in anywhere (Abacab)

My god the guitar solo starting at 5:40. Almost worth the entire song alone.

[@fredcapolongo5909]

Duke, Abacab, and Three Sides Live were my introduction to Genesis... I wasn't a fan of the stuff that came after, but then I went through their back catalog and had my mind blown. I'd been on a steady diet of YES, Rush, King Crimson... but Genesis had never been on my radar until this period. This album in particular seems to me to mark their transition from Prog to Pop, and they absolutely killed it on this track and entire album.

[@TheDude81]

I think I prefer the live version anyway 😎

[@berdi4berdi4]

I know many will disagree but, though I still liked this album, I believe it was the beginning of the end of this great band. Invisible touch was the first album I refused to buy, too commercial IMO.

[@ejb5659]

First time I ever heard this was coming out of a nap- it shocked me. Nothing on this earth ever sounded like this song. This is deceptively simple pure genius- especially that sad guitar solo near the end.

Funny how fans always get caught up in these silly idiotic arguments about which line-up was the best some Gabriel fans hate the Collins era & vice versa but the real truth is both were absolutely great they both brought different unique styles to the music & for me my favorite albums to this very day are "Selling England By The Pound" & "Abacab" pretty much enjoying both versions of Genesis equally & understanding that both had great music to give their fans.

[@BjoernLewin]

that lazy fade out at the end makes me angry and uncomfortable every time… such a bad production decision… as Genesis would often do them 😡 … „Who Dunnit“ instead of „You Might Recall“ oder „Naminamu“! „The Brazillian“ instead of „Do the Neurotic“… terrible, terrible decisions!
