Genesis - Man On The Corner (Official Music Video)

[@MustHaveWine]

Great song! Phil can really belt it out!

So true... 😎

[@randallreid424]

I see it more of an example of real music but I’m not arguing either

[@timjackson5680]

I love the way this song slowly builds up layer by layer.

[@jeff-bg2fn]

Man on the corner is, for me, my favorite song on the album. Phil Collins is amazing A masterpiece.

[@MJ-tg6wb]

Tony Banks, one of my favorite and mostly underrated synth guys ever! Best era for Genesis.

[@brianshaffneraclc]

Yeah, I really like this period too. They made a great new wave band, with enough prog overtones to keep it punchy and interesting.

[@ShawnConrad-tw8du]

I liked them with Peter Gabriel, even though most of that prog stuff is hard to digest. He's actually still touring, so he must be in good shape. Gotta be 75. This era here is the best. With Collins singing. From 76-77 til 87 when Invisible Touch came out I believe. Pure gold. So many good and well crafted songs

[@Greg_call]

Wow, never heard of Tony. Thanks.

[@skipsmith8121]

Underated is overused. If you grew up in this era Genesis was huge and everyone who listened knew the players.

[@matthewhavlovic5579]

Vastly underrated Genesis tune!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@thomasbryson9417]

Yeah. Not typical for Genesis.

[@sonjapederson7211]

Agreed. It's one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@maggievada4797]

True!

Agree 100%. The tune and Phil Collins vocals never leave me unmoved

[@riggs169]

i agree.

[@TheJman2600]

Just a marvelous song. Before I got married, I was depressed and very lonely. I completely identified with this song, and I always will. I wonder how many of us have felt like that lonely man on the corner.

[@thejwproject7593]

TheJman2600 I know this comment is almost a decade old but I’ve gone through depression since this girl didn’t feel the same for me and this song and Mama by genesis are deep for me and I can relate to them

That hard, fluctuating synth sound of early Genesis, it is magical. Back when synthesizers were imperfect machines that produced uneven, harsh sound- that was the best.

[@kennybeaudrie9021]

Totally Agree 👍 Fantastic Concerts. Smoke a joint in parking garage before concert. And, enjoy the concert for 3 hours. Good old days . Now I'm 64 . And, still listen to him. Reunion concert in 2021. I will fly to see him. I'll even pay $1000.00 To see him again in concert.!!! ✈✈🌛🌜🌟🌈🌈🥳

I was 5 in the witness protection program. It was when Sir Phil was touring Massachusetts. I met him lossly in 1980. I would sneak away to the bars with him. He was my sacred friend. He managed to record this song in Lansdowne Street cottage. Thank you for being a friend, Phil.

Find a love song in the past 25yrs this good. You can't. So just keep listening to this one.

IMO, this has to be one of the greatest songs of all time...and even so, I think it is highly underrated and under-appreciated. What a voice! What passion! What meaning! All elements come together into a delivery that is truly something unique and special. Thank you for posting a live view of this gem.

I grew up with these songs and this is such a great vocal performance from Mr. Phil Collins.

[@xennial80sxberner]

I feel like Genesis' soft songs always have some kind of progressive rock influence and depth in the lyrics which kept it from being just standard adult contemporary, like Phil's solo ballads

[@brianshaffneraclc]

I would agree with you on that. Abacab was my very first exposure to Genesis -- had nothing else to compare it to. I liked it a great deal, in the same context as other quality new wave music of the day. The three of them put songs together in a way that was imaginative, different, and distinct. Very english, and clever. Songs like invisible touch are too pop for my liking, but tracks like this one I like. I still like Abacab as a whole -- an album I go back to and enjoy all these decades on.

[@TheBanMan]

Like Alan Parsons Project - prog sensibility meets New Wave minimalism.

[@Zizzyyzz]

He's talented enough to do both.

[@bojangles6444]

Everything prior to Duke gets more and more prog If you work your way backwards. The last few Gabriel singing first couple with Phil are imo the best prog ever. A lot more sophisticated melodically and harmonically- also thematically- then the bands that were more solo driven. Have a way of using reoccurring themes a lot like classical symphonies.

[@bojangles6444]

@@brianshaffneraclc I am the opposite Abacab is where it starts wearing thin. Getting too much pop. Duke and prior is the good part.

[@dondrysdale7297]

most kids since the 90s don't even know he had been around since 1970. Madonna is a far relation of Bush as well as a number of others whom they deliberately employed to start the nefarious Hollywood scene. Robbie Robertson who always used to like hanging out in Hollywood had got threatened by the Bush cult for trying to expose them. it all led to this recent covid madness scam--it has all been part of the elite cult since Led Zeppelin was finished in 80.

Thoughts of my past, I saw a blind black man and a cigar box holding it out on a corner in Washington DC in the 80’s, perfectly dressed and was the imperfect example of what this song could be, but I knew why he was there and what he wanted, so I felt like I wanted to support his efforts, and for 6 months each Sunday I saw him and donated. Very near to my heart, and this song was there for me to re envision those times, so many years after. 👌👍👍👍👍
