We Can't Dance, 1991
Written by Tony Banks, Phil Collins, & Mike Rutherford
It's Contraction Week!
A bit of departure from the archetypical Genesis sound. Not prog rock this, but a relatively sparse, syncopated, synth shuffle with plinking sound effects. Lyrics are a sly dig at commercials that use sexy bodies to sell you unrelated things. A far cry from Peter Gabriel's art-rock, it's prettily produced, radio-ready pop. Not really my cup of tea, but it's a fun listen as long as you don't take it seriously.
