Genesis "Invisible Touch"
Posting Yes's "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" the other night prompted me to think about other progressive rock bands who went commercial. I hate prog rock - I don't understand why you would play something horrible and unnecessarily complicated just to show that you are musically proficient. Or high. Or both.
Anyway, Genesis is another one of those bands who I thankfully wasn't old enough know about until they started making more commercially friendly music. (I still love you Peter Gabriel!) Invisible Touch is an awesome album. This video was groundbreaking at the time, and still pretty revolutionary in terms of its political message.
I think I might have already posted Land of Confusion, so I'm posting the title track, which is my other favorite from the album. So much 80s goodness!
