Genesis - The Lamia: Progressive genius wih a pop flair

Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

The 1970s were one of the most music-aboundant decades of all time, even rivaling current times, where the amount of readily available music is almost overwhelming. Quality is another thing, I guess when it comes to explorations in music, past times will always seem more impressive and prolific -I suppose a prophet is without honor in hiw own... time?

Peter Gabriel's Genesis was one of the most flamboyant, pompous bands in the whole Prog Rock movement, but they were also capable of adding pop sensibilites to their otherwise intrincate songs. The Lamia is a great example of that, as it combines beautifully crafted piano parts, performed by the great Tony Banks, with Gabriel's lyrics that are part of a greater concept, expanded throughout the album; superb drumming by the then-not-so-famous Phil Collins. more than appropriate bass lines, and a great solo to boot right at the end, make The Lamia a standout track in a terrific album
