Do you subscribe to the "grower" school of thought?

Yeah well for me that would be different because I loved the album Abacab. The least favorite album was We Can't Dance even allmusic gave it a lower rating than Abacab. Every time I see you complain about the album I give it another listen, trying to find something wrong with it and I always find it an incredible album. Phil's lyrics were a bit loopy. However I thought Tony Banks was at his peak he was/is amazing. Like it or not you have to admit Like It Or Not is one of their best tracks ever.

Not sure if you meant that: Like it or not said twice!

Actually I do like that track, but one of their best ever? Pfah! "One for the vine", "White mountain", even "Burning rope" piss all over it. Abacab was Genesis' attempt to go all pop and it failed, but you're entitled to your opinion of course. I like WCD, but can pick out maybe three, possibly four tracks on Abacab that I like or can stand. I mean: "Another record?" The godawful "Whodunnit?" Please!

Incidentally, ya seen my review of "Calling all stations" today? Interested in your comments...
