Genesis: 10 Awesome 70's Track's You've Never Heard

1. Deep In The Motherload (And Then There Were Three, 1978)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqfYYrr-Zt4 "Deep in the Motherlode" is a Mike Rutherford penned track whose setting is about a young man going west during the gold rush during the 19th century in the US. While suggestive rather than narrative the track's strength is in its passages and the melodic instrumental parts between them. The interplay between Collins' voice and instrumentation is both magical and memorable. This track holds a difficult middle ground between what Genesis was in the 70's and what they would become in the 1980's. "And Then There Were Three" did extremely well on both sides of the Atlantic and spawned the hit, "Follow You, Follow Me". The album rests somewhere in that uncomfortable ground between what was and what was to be. With the release of 1981's "Abacab" Genesis took a stylistic turn that is unmistakable when the two releases are heard back to back. Did we miss an obvious entry and want to share it with us?
