*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.)


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

Good point.  Arnold Laine wasn't in their ears or in their eyes.

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.


Anyone have Bailey's solo album, the one produced by Phil?  The hit was the forgetable "Easy Lover" with the totally stupid video involving helicopters for no reason.  But, elsewhere on that album are two (imho) aawesome cuts, "Walking On The CHiese Wall" & "Children Of The Ghetto" each of which showcase Bailey's vocals more than anything EWF ever did (again, imho).

I used to have this but someone stole it.   :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

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.


Folks who were big Genesis fans thought it was travesty. In the space of three years, they went from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway to this, and lost two major contributors along the way (Gabriel and Steve Hackett.) While Hackett was primarily an instrumentalist, only occasionally a writer and never a vocalist, his guitar gave serious guts to the Genesis sound, and this record, recorded as a three-piece with Mike Rutherford having to fill in all the lead parts, just didn't measure up, even to the preceding record, Wind and Wuthering.

There were helicopters in that video?  All I remember are Phil and Phil in the recording studio pretending to laugh at each other's mis-takes.  (Cocaine's a hell of a drug.)  I think the album was actually called Chinese Wall.

I'm just picking words that would sound better if Bobby Wo were saying them.

Chuffed!
