Our Take

Ah, Selling England By The Pound, the quintessential prog rock album by the legendary Genesis. From the whimsical album cover featuring a red double-decker bus to the complex time signatures and sprawling compositions, this album truly encapsulates the essence of 70s progressive rock.

The opening track, "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight," sets the tone for the entire album with its intricate melodies and poetic lyrics. Phil Collins' drumming shines on tracks like "Firth of Fifth" and "The Cinema Show," showcasing his virtuosity and creativity.

However, it's not all serious business on Selling England By The Pound. Tracks like "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" and "More Fool Me" bring a touch of whimsy and humor to the album, showing that Genesis knows how to have fun while still pushing musical boundaries.

Overall, Selling England By The Pound is a masterpiece of the prog rock genre, with its lush orchestration, intricate arrangements, and thought-provoking lyrics. It's a must-listen for any fan of classic rock or anyone looking to dive into the world of progressive music. Genesis truly solidified their place in music history with this album, and it's no wonder why it's considered one of their greatest works. So grab your top hat and monocle, sit back, and let Genesis take you on a journey through Selling England By The Pound. Cheers.

About the artist

Genesis

PROFILE: GENESIS Genesis, the legendary English rock band that emerged in the progressive rock era of the 1970s, has solidified their status as one of the most influential and innovative acts in music history. With a discography that spans over four decades, the band is known for their intricate and complex musical compositions, featuring elaborate arrangements and thought-provoking lyrics. Led by the incomparable Peter Gabriel in their early years, Genesis quickly established themselves as pioneers of the prog-rock movement with albums like "Foxtrot" and "Selling England by the Pound." Gabriel's theatrical stage presence and distinctive vocal style set them apart from their peers, earning them a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. After Gabriel's departure, drummer Phil Collins took over as lead vocalist, steering the band towards a more commercial sound. Hits like "Invisible Touch" and "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" dominated the charts, showcasing Collins' soulful voice and the band's knack for crafting catchy pop hooks. Despite lineup changes and musical evolutions, Genesis has remained a powerhouse in the music industry, selling out stadiums and inspiring countless artists along the way. Their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 cemented their legacy as one of the greatest bands of all time. Whether you're a die-hard prog-rock aficionado or a casual listener looking for some classic rock vibes, Genesis has something for everyone. So crank up the volume, sit back, and let the timeless sounds of Genesis transport you to a world of musical bliss.
