As long as it doesn’t distract you from driving, so that your suspension cracks on an unmade road, and you have a collision with some trucker whose eyes are screaming overload . . . :(

This isn’t so much a ‘game’ as a ‘punishment’. Why would anyone do this to themselves?

If you happen upon a Genesis song that features Peter Gabriel, you definitely stick to that station.

Anybody who has driven through Utah gets to go directly to heaven upon death.  All sins have been expiated.

In my opinion, Phil Collins ruined everything.

But I like Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering. After those two is when Genesis became corny.

Trick of the Tail is good fun.  It’s so hard to believe that that album and We Can’t Dance are by the same group.

Oh, our game is, when driving from Birmingham to Atlanta, you WILL hear either Freebird or Sweet Home Alabama or, more likely BOTH, unless you have satellite radio.

Thank FSM for satellite radio.

Actually, the thing I find remarkable about Genesis and Phil Collins is that Genesis is generally very good, and Phil Collins generally sucks. I guess Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks are much, much better song writers than Ol’ Phil.

I think the real reason that later Genesis is so much worse than early is Phil’s ascendant popularity as a solo artist increased his influence over the band as time went on.

I always liked the “weird” genesis songs that always showed up (generally at least one on each album). For me, it was songs like Mama, Silver Rainbow, Tonight Tonight Tonight, Dreaming While You Sleep, etc. These indicated some serious weirdness in the writers.

Gee, thanks, Jesse. Now Phil Collins is singing “In the Air Tonight” right in my cerebral cortex.

I agree about the lack of rock stations in the West. West of say, Grand Junction, Colorado, there are only two kinds of radio station: Jesus and country. At night however one should be able to pick up KTNN and its Truckers Radio Network show. Or else some chanting in Navajo. Although George Noory and Coast-to-Coast rule the nighttime airwaves in the West.

Meh. The only Genesis album I own anymore is Selling England by the Pound, and I haven’t even listened to that in about a year and a half.

Genesis?  Steve Miller? Aerosmith?  Don’t you people know that radio is why god invented the iPod?

Genesis with Phil Collins in the 70s was actually good music.

Which reminds me…isn’t it Random 10 day?

Now Phil Collins is singing “In the Air Tonight” right in my cerebral cortex.

That’s one of the few of his songs I like.  Which reminds me, I have to pick up a P Gabriel song off i-Tunes.

In my opinion, Phil Collins ruined everything.

Hey, let’s blame Phil Collins for the FISA capitulation.  He won’t mind.

having been born in ‘82, and lived under a rock for the first 16 years of my life, I can’t name a single gensis song. I’ve heard of phil collins, but I perpetualy conflate him with tom collins, which they tell me, is something completely different.

//I don’t know about this subject, and feel no compulsion to learn.

I like country.
*duck and cover*
I was raised on Buck Owens, the Statler Brother and Glenn Campbell.
If I have a choice of country or talk, I’ll take country

I like Genesis too, even with Phill Collins.

I drive 270 miles/day. I listen to a lot of radio. Mostly trucker or GLBT talk, but some outlaw contry or 80s. If I have to go terrestrial, it’s classic rock.

The smartest thing Peter Gabriel ever did was get the hell away from Phil Collins.

/prepares to duck and cover.

I quite like Phil Collins.  I’m told by my friends that apart from this I have quite good taste in music.

/ducks and covers

Phil Collins is one hell of a drummer and a damn good singer.  He ruined everything when he started writing songs.

this game doesn’t sound like very much fun.

This was how I justified an iPod.  “Changing CDs while driving is a hazard! If I have an iPod, I can just leave it on shuffle and not have to touch it!”

And it works.

**The smartest thing Peter Gabriel ever did was get the hell away from Phil Collins.

What’s the best thing War ever did?

Get rid of Eric Burdon.

Um, I think Banks and Rutherford are just as guilty as Collins for the direction the band took. (Remember Mike + the Mechanics?) Seeing them on their mostly proggy-set-list tour last year, I was struck how the worst, most boring latter-day songs have little-to-no drumming (by Collins or Chester Thompson) and a lot of ticky-tacky keyboarding by Tony Banks.

End of prog talk.
