how can you start a set with "follow you?" that song makes even diehard kfox listeners change the station.



Am I really defending Phil here?  It was a big AOR hit, which makes it TOTHC fodder (at least in Dave's mind).  And things got much MUCH worse in the '80s, so this seems quite nice in comparison.

until Phil starts singing.


At the time this came out, we thought Genesis had sunk as low as they could get.

Little did we know.

Did people really think this was a pop sellout?  I think it's a touch snoozy but hardly offensive.

As opposed to the Floyd, whom I find *really* snoozy.

early BOS for David Gilmour.  Another song that suits my mood this rainy a.m.

Semi-jinx on the semi-defense of Sui Genesis!

Ahhh ... BOS to the mighty Philip Bailey and EWF's "Fantasy."  The only falsetto to overpower that of Phillippe Wynne's.  And an uplifting lyric, to boot.

Anyone else ever hear the Black Box cover of this with Martha Wash on lead vocals?  It's fine in its own right.

Is "fantasii" the plural of "fantasus"?

*rolls eyes*  Why bother with a solo album if it sounds *exactly like* your group's projects?  (Steve Perry is welcome to answer this, too.)

I hear the line as, "On a trip, fantasize."

what if the group was using *your* sound, not the other way around?

You'll hear it when you get to NYC, assuming I can be chuffed to unbox my cassettes that have been in storage since I moved here.
