Tony Banks - "As The Wheels Keep Turning" video free download

Surfer Joe

Absolutely. Don't see how anybody could miss it. I think it's actually more his phrasing than his actual voice! Sounds like he has to push a little to get there vocally, and it lends a nice quality. This is also one of the best songs he wrote in the eighties, a huge gem that still sounds great and not a bit dated. What an under-appreciated talent. Genius, actually.

Glad I'm not the only one! Hey, there are a lot worse singers he could sound like than Al Stewart, right? :)

Surfer Joe

RR, had the very same thought from day one when this album came out- Al Stewart. You can't miss it.

I bought this album when it first came in 1982. I thought then (and still do) that his voice really sounds like Al Stewart's. In fact I heard an Al Stewart song today ("Time Passages") and thought "yeah, I can see Tony doing a song like this" :)

One for the radio. I can't believe the mastermind of Genesis wrote such an idiotic and mellow piece of music such as this.

@skintrade I think he got cold feet. Plus, Tony has a voice that fits a certain type of song. He certainly doesn't have range and could never front a band. But his vocal skills are far superior to Mike's.

@davidfsnyder You do know that the Dave Stewart of Eurythmics is not the same Dave Stewart that played in Brand X, right?

David Snyder

@trevizons I think TB and Genesis going this way (along with Dave Stewart of Brand X, for example) helped open up popular ears to the possibilities of prog rock and the more elaborate styles. This didn't end it, it opened new possibilities, many of which are only now beginning to exist. But I know many people who would never have given old prog a chance except that they entered in via Abacab to the earlier Genesis periods and grew to love it as well, and YES, even KC. So, I disagree ,,,

I always liked this album & although his voice grates after a while at least he had the balls to do it by himself !!!!

skintrade

Why did Tony never sing a whole album again after this apart from one track on bankstatement and still?

@trevizons Only, if you listen to "Seven", it's proof that Tony is still in play and expanding in his own right. And supposedly he's toying with a new release...I think Tony is simply capable of adapting to many styles of music.

Thanks for the video. This is my memory song when I was at senior high school

Tony was the Genesis sound, no doubt!!!!!!

I really love the modular shift in the bridge: 'in one year we'll have money to spare'... that's so pure Tony! Great tune. He seems more melodic than with others in Genesis.

trevizons

I strongly believe that we all respect each other's taste for music, but, theres is music made for the masses in which they only try to gain a few dollars, just simple music with no real elaboration, creation or invention, otherwise listen to classical music of any period and you'll see, again, Tony wrote beautiful things during tha Hackett Era in Genesis which never did once more, and this type of music helped ended and caputulate Genesis, the facts are there as well as History ...

@trevizons BUT I RESPECT TONY THE SAME ! I THINK ANYONE OF US HAVE A DIFFERENT SENSIBILITY TO FEEL MUSIC, NOBODY IS OWNER OF ABSOLUTE THRUTH ... MAYBE WOULD BE POP OR ANY WORD , BUT I LIKE IT SO MUCH ... LIKE OTHERS MAYBE NOT, AS I DON'T LIKE STEVE , AND IT DOESN'T MEANS I HAVE NO TASTE FOR GOOD OR BEST MUSIC...

trevizons

Perhaps what Morgena ment was that Tony never wrote the same way again and he went bias about pop music, the fact that Tony was not inovative, not being that Maestro, that complex and unique way of composing and playing lost some of the respect that he used to have for many old Genesis fans, and Calling A. St. finnally proved that with the total collapse of the band, unlike for instance Steve Hackett who set very high standards in his composition, playing and writing to this day ...
