I'd always heard the band was more experimental before they shifted to pop music, but I never actually looked for any of their music from before Phil Collins took over as lead vocalist. I'm not entirely sure how to feel about this song; it's like Chinballz, who I've never interacted with, somehow found a song that checks every box I was even remotely thinking of: "Oh, you like androgyny, do you? How about Winston Churchill in a dress?!" "Oh, you like villains? SURPRISE ANTICHRIST! ...Or something." "You want to nominate a song that's over ten minutes long in its album version? HA! TWENTY MINUTES!"" "You want an excuse to look at songs by musicians you like, but never heard because you don't really listen to music outside of the radio? Here's a song by a band you know well due to their pop music, but have never heard due to not being pop music." "You have a secret soft spot for nonsensical lyrics? HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!" And it's like...I, I like every aspect of this separately? But I'm not sure I like them all mushed together like this? It's like three or four different songs thrown together, but.... I guess I like it? Sorta? I definitely need to listen to it a few more times now that I have a better idea of what I'm getting myself into, but... well I'm happy to have had a chance to hear it, either way. Also glad that I don't have to actually rank this song because I really don't want to assign any type of points to it. It's an experience that defies any rational attempt at scoring it. Heh, that nuts. To be honest, Supper's Ready is the only Gabriel era Genesis song I've listened to. I always knew it was a thing, but I'm also mostly familiar with the Collins era. I think one day I went "I'm gonna listen to one of their 70's prog songs" and ended up picking Supper's Ready. I really liked it, and nominated it because I wanted someone else's feedback because I agree it does get pretty nonsensical (especially once you factor in Peter Gabriel's costumes). Just have never gotten around to their other albums from the era. Also, in the nomination topic I clarified the two songs of mine that got dropped, Xerxes and Surf's Up (although it was after your deadline). Xerxes as far as I know doesn't appear on any albums because it's a concert band piece (I didn't know a song had to appear on an album to be eligible). But Surf's Up should have been fine because while it was written in the 60's for the Beach Boys (for an album that never came to fruition), Brian Wilson later re-recorded it as a solo artist in 2004. That's the version I nominated. ...But did you really have to fill my vacant 00's slot with fucking Pitbull? --- I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. <cite>Chinballz posted [p:900537287] in Se7en Rank...
