Was Genesis a popular enough band to have a console named after them in 1989?

that sunday school name didn't matter because we just called it "Sega", being entirely unaware of other Sega consoles.

i didn't know there was a Master System until reading about in EGM in the 2000s

to parents, N64 was also just "Nintendo"

when we got an Xbox, their alcoholic swiss cheese lead poisoned boomer brains couldn't remember its name until we got a PS3, which they then called Xbox, and killed leaving it on the ~200 watt home screen indefinitely any time they used it to watch some poorly rated dadcore

I was jamming Invisible Touch (the album) on my way to fuck this prostitute, and as a huge coincidence she was listening to genesis when I showed up. We wound up hanging out for like three hours and talking about music/jamming to Phil Collins before we fucked.

The shmup level where you play as an angel that's flying to the mountains of Moriah to deliver a lamb to Abraham was a strange change of pace, but using The Knife as the background music and syncing up the enemy patterns to it was an excellent choice.

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your a**hole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

Foxtrot is my favorite. It’s one of the very few prog rock albums that doesn’t skimp on the “rock” part of the genre. But anything from Gabriel era is amazing. Early Collins era is good too and tends to get overlooked both by prog snobs and by casual fans.

Gotta be Lamb for me chief.
However it took me years until it clicked 100%. It slowly went from beging one of my least listened albums to being my top favorite albums ever.
Foxtrot would be my 2nd pick but honestly all the run from Trespass to Lamb is the work of genius.
