What Genesis tracks were completely unnecessary?

[Phil]

I want to know what (in your opinion) are the most unnecessary genesis tracks: i know some may regard 'After the Ordeal' as not needed on 'selling england by the pound' and perhaps 'seven stones' should've been replaced by 'happy the man' but let me know, im interested, people have different opinions! Thanks! GENESIS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!

[Rych]

It would have to be Who Dunnit for me

[Old Father Thames]

Are you kidding???? After The Ordeal and Seven Stones are great tracks!! Happy The Man was almost a throw away track and if you want to talk about dumping something off of Selling England, it's definately More Fool me. Completely unnecessary?? Every album after Duke with a few exceptions off Abacab. Especially the Invisible Touch , We Can't Dance and Calling All Stations albums!!! Absolutely unecessary!!!!

[Phil]

good point but i was just hinting i do like those 2 tracks great lyrical tracks i think but more fool me is a nice little wash of a track perhaps hinting at wot phil was later going to go on2 a load of mushy stuff lol

[Leon Alvarado]

WHO DUNNIT.

In retrospect, they should have never dunnit!

[Watcher Of The Skies]

Illegal Alien would get my vote.
Awful!

[HENRY]

No such animal exists.

[Leon Alvarado]

Yeah, that one too.

[Phil]

er yeh i would agree with u there everything from '...three...' on wards had a or in some cases loads of crap tracks that i think genesis were just filling spaces but u did get the great tracks occasionally such as 'domino'

[David Raphael]

Replace Seven Stones? Madness!! ;)

I'd agree regarding Illegal Alien (but I hope we're not going to start a whodunnit witch hunt again!)

My unnecessary tracks:
Land of Confusion
Invisible Touch
Most of We Can't Dance album, though I quite like Fading Lights
The whole of the Calling All Stations album, but to be honest I don't even think of it as a Genesis album.

dR

[Leon Alvarado]

Witch hunt, witch hunt!
LOL

[Phil]

r u kidding: land of confusion a classic invisable touch was a good little track although too poppy i'd agree with we cant dance although 'no son of mine' and 'jesus he knows me' r classics and i havnt listened to calling all stations cant be arsed lol

[SpctrlMornings]

I agree with Ethel nothing Genesis has done is "completely unnecessary", just certain things that wouldn't be missed much. For me they are:

The whole FGTR stuff
"Aisle of Plenty"
(mixed feelings on) "All In A Mouse's Night", "Since I Lost You", and "Hold On My Heart"

Originally this list could have went on and on but thankfully I've seen the light on alot of other songs I used to skip over (I'm speaking of when I first started to buy the albums, hearing most of these songs for the first time)
