Genesis - Wind & Wuthering (1976)



This is the Genesis album I listened to the most as a teenager. And for some strange reason, it sounded magical on Saturday mornings. I would lock the room door, shut the windows and really turn up the volume on my JVC quadraphonic system.

Diehard Genesis fans cursed, swore and screamed sacrilege when they first heard drummer Phil Collins singing lead on 1976's 'A Trick of the Tail'. And I don't imagine they were appeased by his highly comfortable position here. Whatever, I think he did a marvellous job despite his pop leanings.
