Loved the Peter Gabriel Genesis before Phil Collins made them all mainstream.

I'm a massive rock fan, aged 45. Work with a,fella 10yrs older than me who introduced me to early genesis. Some strange stuff like 'suppers ready'. Found myself oddly enjoying it!!
Also early Motorhead stuff, loved it. I think it's early 80s though not pre 1980

This is a great old album if you haven't heard it, there is a good little documentary about the band on youtube that is worth a watch.

This is a terrific album!

Please extend the year to 1981 so we can include Bucks Fizz

You can jest all you like, but I had to confess my sins more than once over that Jay Aston piece.

Firth of fifth is genesis at their best, foxtrot is brilliant .

Of course there's this piece of magnificence ....

I was round doing some labour of love, manual work the other day for my old Dad, pottering round in the garage and outside and had The Stooges Funhouse and Raw Power albums on my vintage, kids will laugh at you style Ipod and they are two of the greatest albums ever recorded.

You do know that the original song was like an hour and a half long?

Both sides of a vinyl! It took some effort to listen to the full version.

And when you say "it took some effort" you weren't wrong.

Sneaks in - 1979.

Oh yeah... Listened to it once and crossed it off my list.

Ian Anderson is apparently a genius with an IQ of 150+.

I guess it kind of shows in this song.

Spun this for the Mrs last night. Every track is stunning.

I reckon people have climbed K2 and come back down again, then read the complete works of Dostoyevsky and Nietzsche and drunk two bottles of Finland's finest Death Skull Vodka and it's taken less physical and mental fortitude than listening to that album and half of another one.
