Obviously YMMV. Thankfully, we have a choice. TBH, I’ve also never quite forgiven Steve for the extended noodling solo at the end of Supper’s Ready when I last saw him.

I was a huge PG era Genesis fan, and quite liked some of the PC era stuff. Live - PG, or PC era - they were phenomenal! In the Last Domino? vid, I got as far as That's All. I know it was a rehearsal, but... Phil didn't sound like he was even in the same room as the other guys😔 Rather than watch the rest of the video I'd rather remember them as they were. Having said that... some of the greatest moments of Genesis have been the instrumental pieces (Firth of Fifth for ex). If PC's son is up to the job those sections will still sound great live.

Not saying he isn't a good singer, I am saying that song doesn't sound right him doing it. If you wanted someone that sounded like Phil Collins, he isn't it. Which is presumably what they wanted for that album. - Edited to add, I have listened to that album a few times, but I couldn't remember any of the songs if they were played back to me in a trial, which makes it a fairly unique genesis album.

dmccombe7 Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 I thought Ray Wilson did a good job on the Genesis album. His earlier band were pretty good IMO of course. Think this song was used on a TV advert or something like that. Think he could have done better for himself if he hadn't went with Genesis altho it probably opened a few doors for him i expect. 1 Quote

In my defence, I googled yesterday afternoon after reading WoT's comments and only the 30 second clip was available at that point. Here for others' edification Quote
