Thanks for 'Watchers of the Skies" ADG!
BP - Before Porn - I was a music journalist for many magazines. I interviewed Phil Collins in 1995, I think, for some east coast local magazine. We put him on the cover. I also interviewed Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford in 1988, for another publication. Great times! Never interviewed Gabriel, tho.
Collins-era Genesis stopped being worthwhile after Invisible Touch. There were some great moments on there, but there were more over-the-top '80's pop songs for my taste. They were giddy with their MTV success at that time, too, Collins and I spoke about that ten years later. They were more interested in videos than the music, but at that point (like many '60's/'70's British rockers) they had been "in the game" for upwards of fifteen+ years.
Still, listen to 'Mama' from Genesis, their self-titled album from 1983. Brilliant shit! (I'm sure you have, and know it well.)
Ahhh....but then there's 'I Can't Dance". Shudder shudder. LOL
