...
Mike LordHOST
We Can't Dance tour, um, which I know I wore in 2007 to one of the shows.
Mike LordHOST
I don't think I did in 2021 or '22, but maybe I did up in Boston.
Mike LordHOST
Can't remember.
George HrabHOST
What's the first thing that popped in your head? The first thing that popped into my head was Genesis.
George HrabHOST
You know, Genesis from the first album, from Genesis to Revelation, all the way to We Can't Dance, or whatever the hell the last one was called.
George HrabHOST
Uh, yeah.
George HrabHOST
We Can't Dance.
George HrabHOST
Like, that's a massive, massive change.
George HrabHOST
You go from kind of this very English prog art rock thing, pastoral whatever, all the way to kind of this, you know, post-'90s pop rock thing.
Phil CollinsGUEST
Um, and maybe that's because I started to write maybe more of the lyrics.
Phil CollinsGUEST
On We Can't Dance, certainly, I wrote more lyrics, and they're more, um, personal.
Piers MorganHOST
It's, it's been said about you that you wrote your best stuff when you'd just had a terrible breakup.
Piers MorganHOST
In other words-
Chris ClarkPANELIST
And I heard it in passing through somebody when I really started delving into them, believe it or not.
Chris ClarkPANELIST
The first album that really, I really like bought myself and heard was We Can't Dance.
Chris ClarkPANELIST
And so everybody's like, what, that's your introduction to Genesis? How awful for you.
Chris ClarkPANELIST
Well, what I mean, I understand that people who don't like Collins era Genesis and don't like the commercial side of it.
LukeHOST
Or Phil Collins.
LukeHOST
Yeah, Genesis, We Can't Dance, and ABBA's Gold, The Greatest Hits.
LukeHOST
That one's everywhere, man.
LukeHOST
It's weird.
Chris ClarkGUEST
My introduction to Genesis was in the late 80s and early 90s.
Chris ClarkGUEST
It was Genesis and We Can't Dance.
Chris ClarkGUEST
First of all, it's probably why I like the Phil Collins era so much is because I came into it with Phil Collins as the singer.
Chris ClarkGUEST
But I worked my way backwards, kind of.
MarthaHOST
Yeah.
Christian OverfieldHOST
It's when they released the song I Can't Dance or We Can't Dance.
Christian OverfieldHOST
That's
MarthaHOST
it.
Mike LordHOST
So, so jumping back into the, you know, early to mid nineties, from my understanding, you know, the timeline here, the album came out in 95.
Mike LordHOST
So I assume that this was all done after the We Can't Dance tour in 92.
Mike LordHOST
What was the process for getting ready to do this solo album? What was your thought process behind this?
Tony BanksGUEST
Well, I think I kind of wanted to try another solo album.
Tony BanksGUEST
So it is a strange, it was strange how it happened that.
Tony BanksGUEST
And we sustained it from Invisible Touch probably through to We Can't Dance almost.
Tony BanksGUEST
I know Phil was incredibly successful during all this time, so that helped us, no doubt, in terms of our commercial appeal, I think.
Tony BanksGUEST
But we still had a pretty distinct identity, particularly on stage, because of all the more elaborate music.
21 MINS LATER
Tony BanksGUEST
It's a little bit, you know, I don't think I'm going to do anything.
Tony BanksGUEST
Well, I've said this before.
Tony BanksGUEST
I mean, it's like with the, you know, the Genesis, we kind of, I mean, certainly up to and including We Can't Dance, we had a pretty strong kind of thing.
Tony BanksGUEST
You know, you can have ups and downs slightly, you may think, but they're all pretty good albums, you know.
