In this thread you can talk and discuss all about your favorite concept albums, such as Night Of The Stormrider and Operation Mindcrime.
Personally, my favorite is The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis. And before you ask, yes, it has a story. But if you're listening for the first time, ignore the story and just listen to the music. The story is weird. Very weird. Don't try to make any sense of it. It'll only break your neck. But when it comes to the actual music, that's when a smile comes to my face. Not only are all the melodies great, the entire album is so freaking memorable. If you're a casual listener, listen to the first disc first. That one includes the most known songs from this album. But that's not to say the second disc isn't great too. It's just...harder to get into. Yeah, I'm leaving it on that. Okay, instead of stating all of my favorites right now, I'd like to talk about the music and how it's different from the other Gabriel-era albums. You see, while it may sound like a Genesis album at first, it's a lot tougher sounding, a lot more mean than than Foxtrot for example. Songs like the title track and Back In NYC. I love it! Okay, before I state my favorites, I'd like to talk about the things I don't like that much about the album. First, there is way too much Tony Banks here. Tony Banks is the keyboard/synth player in Genesis if you were going to ask. Poor Steve Hackett gets pushed into the background. Compared to Selling England By The Pound, there is a lot less guitar, I mean, the difference could not be any bigger! And that's all the problems I have, and it's a minor nitpick! The rest are all positives. Okay, here's my favorites. I'm picking my five favorites from each disc.
First Disc:
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Fly On A Windshield/Broadway Melody Of 1974
In The Cage
Back In NYC
Counting Out Time
Second Disc:
Anyway
The Lamia
The Colony Of Slippermen
The Light Dies Down On Broadway
In The Rapids
It
And that's why I love it so much. And now it's YOUR turn to talk about your favorite concept albums.
Okay, I'll see you later!
