Peter Gabriel was such a charismatic frontman and unique singer/lyricist that many assumed Genesis would fold after his departure. WIND & WUTHERING proved that there was much to the group than just Gabriel's talents. Drummer Phil Collins, who'd sung a couple of songs on previous albums, had taken over lead vocal duties on the previous A TRICK OF THE TAIL, with surprisingly successful results. His voice wasn't as edgy as Gabriel's, but was a bit more palatable to mass audiences, and the group's popularity continued to grow. Many of the songs here pick up musically where LAMB and TRICK OF THE TAIL left off, with sharply focused tunes that show off the group's prog-rock chops without getting too bombastic.
There are some new developments as well. The instrumental "Wot Gorilla?" is a tasty, fusion-tinged piece that bears echoes of Collins' work with jazz-rockers Brand X. This song and others show Tony Banks's increased use of synthesizer. The most precipitous change is the introduction of a commercial ballad sensibility with the light, romantic "Your Own Special Way." This tune marked a direction Collins would explore further with Genesis in the years to come.
Recorded at Relight Studios, Hilvarerenbeek, Holland.
Personnel: Tony Banks (vocals, keyboards); Phil Collins (vocals, drums, percussion); Mike Rutherford, Steve Hackett (guitar).
Genesis: Phil Collins (vocals, drums); Mike Rutherford (guitar, bass); Steve Hackett (guitar); Tony Banks (piano, keyboards, synthesizers).

Genesis Wind & Wuthering Songs Wind & Wuthering Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Masterpiece two of 1976...
While Trick of the Tail was the album that not only showcased Phil Collins as the new front man for the band it also was the beginning of five years of the bands best material...Wind and Wuthering was their second album released in 1976 and quite simply may be their best.
From start to finish, the writing, the sound, the depth of music, the ballads the vocals and the haunting sound of Steve Hackett's last performance are chilling and beyond memorable. For anyone curious about what Genesis was about or what "Art Rock" was all about....this is the one album of only a few you would need to point to.
Not only Genesis' best, but one of the best AOR albums ever produced.
Enjoy it!

 Farewell to Genesis progressive rock!
This is the first album I heard from Genesis. I asked myself: Is this true? How can they play so well and how can they achieve these complex arrangements and such a perfect sound? In my opinion the best songs are "Blood On The Rooftops" (with a beautiful Spanish guitar intro), the commercial "Your Own Special Way" and of course "Afterglow” (with that crescendo sound): one of my favorites. "Wind & Wuthering" is the most skillful guitar-playing album from the band and there aren’t any bad songs!

Precusor to "Please Don't Touch"
Steve Hackett's 1978 Please Don't Touch album clearly picks up where Wind and Wuthering left off. In fact, the song "Please Don't Touch" was submitted to be on Wind and Wuthering and got replaced with Wot Gorilla. Sadly, the remaining 3 remaining members of Genesis destroyed their own standard sound that Steve Hackett spent 11 years helping them make.

A great, harrowing album. It shows the beginnings of the magic on "...And Then There Three..."
Fans of that album will find there home in this.

After Steve Hackett quit Genesis in 1977, the band(and were offically broke up) broke up and did solo albums(A Curious Feeling, Smallcreep's Day, Brand X: Product). In 1980 the reformed as the joke of a pop as we know it. The name stayed but the music that defined
Genesis didn't

Easily the most angular and eccentric Genesis album, FOXTROT is where Peter Gabriel's idiosyncratic lyricism bears full fruit. "Get 'em Out By Friday" and "Watcher of the Skies" brim with Gabriel's quirky combination of poetics, politics, and philosophy, and with the tricky time signatures and instrumental flights that are early-Genesis trademarks.
Though these are some of the most powerful, memorable songs in the Genesis catalog, FOXTROT's centerpiece is the 23-minute epic ...
| | Genesis Selling England By The Pound CD (1973)
Wind & Wuthering music CDs
$19.79
If one had to pare the prog-rock story down to a handful of essential albums, this would undoubtedly be one of them. SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND was the culmination of all that Genesis had been striving for since their late-'60s inception, the refinement of the vision that developed on TRESPASS, NURSERY CRYME, and FOXTROT (somewhere in the world, there's been a second-wave prog outfit named after every one of these albums). The fusion of a complex classical mind with an electrified rock heart and pastoral folk spirit defined Genesis' anatomy, and never more effectively than on SELLING ENGLAND.
Peter Gabriel's startlingly unpretentious tale-spinning is at its best on "The Battle of Epping Forest." Tony Banks's elegant, sophisticated keyboard work is a vital element of nearly every tune, and the electric/acoustic guitar tapestry woven by Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford is the perfect icing on the cake. Somewhat anomalous but entirely welcome is the Gabriel-era band's catchiest, quirkiest song "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)," ...

Digitally remastered by Nick Davis, Geoff Callingham & Chris Blair.
When guitarist Steve Hackett left Genesis for a solo career after touring behind 1977's WIND AND WUTHERING, he was the second major defection the group had suffered in as many years. Instead of helplessly disintegrating, the remaining trio circled the wagons and bounced back with the solid AND THEN THERE WERE THREE.
Rather than employ any outside studio musicians to take up the slack, Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford instead played every instrument themselves. Resolutely reflective throughout, this 1978 release finds Genesis ...

Covering the Beatles is the pop music equivalent of a kamikaze mission -- even the most ingenious and unique rendition seems destined to suffer in comparison to the original, and the potential for failure is virtually limitless.
