Great video, man. I am about the same age as you, and I have also followed Genesis sing I got Selling England in 1974. I agree with 95% of your list. I would just rank The Lamb a bit lower and Nursery Crime a bit higher. My #1 would have to be Selling England. It is a masterpiece.

I think most of us would put the prog days first, then the 80s then Calling all stations at the end but you suprised me by totally dismissing "Genesis" album and to slag off Mama is a massive no no in my book.. I also followed the band from school, queued overnight for my Lamb tickets ( none of thisTicketmaster garbage proper fans 1st in line gets the prize) and when PG left was distraught. Its been interesting watching the band build , re-build and ultimately finish on those sad concerts a few years ago but I would go 1) Trick of Tail 2) Selling England 3) Lamb -as you say there is always something I keep hearing new after all these years..... fantastic concerts over the years but Wembley 87 sunny night and Phil had the audience eating out of his hands..( doing 4 nights then was unheard of ) ATB

Police, boomtown rats, stranglers....? NO NO NO!!! Ridiculous

Genesis - Supper's Ready !!!

The Day The Country Died - by Subhumans .... def top five

Would have enjoyed the video more without the music, too loud in the mix and distracting

Hi David, Oh Susannah, now going under her real name, Suzie Ungerleider, is great. From my home- Vancouver. Check out her earlier (first?) record, Johnstown. It’s really something. The title track is gripping with gritty vocalizing while Alabaster is as sweet as honey.

I have a similar system. Project wet cleaner for step 1 and then the Humminguru for step 2. For me the key is using a surfactant with the Humminguru

Great video I use a Cannondale topstone e bike for my commute keeps my fitness up for using my areo bike I think there great

David r u Hooky's brother? lol

What a harrowing story. So much respect and admiration for you to share this story. This is the voice I really needed to hear and I has been something I've been avoiding thinking about for a while. Really appreciate your candidness and forthcomingness, David. Thank you and wishing you all the health in the world. Best from Tokyo!

Brilliant vid Dave ❤ amazing to hear of your journey and awesome to hear that you beat this terrible illness Dave and understand your concerns about if it’s really gone for good it would play on my mind to.. Pete 💪👍🚴🏻

Thanks for uploading this David. After my prostatectomy 5 years ago at the age of 53 I’m just about to take my annual PSA test. I became evangelical about encouraging friends to get checked out. One chap in particular went and was diagnosed with cancer. He also had it removed and is doing well. Neither of us had any symptoms so we were very lucky. So chaps - get tested before it’s too late.

Thanks David. Really important video - I had a HOLEP procedure last year following regular PSA tests and agree with all the advice you gave. Increasing awareness is vital.

Fine countdown. In 1973 I was in the American Air Force on military duty at RAF Chicksands in Bedfordshire. I did my record buying in Bedford, Luton and Hitchin. I own just four out of your twenty lp's --Alice Cooper, Paul Simon, Elton John and Pink Floyd. If you'd like to know what a Yank would've bought in the UK, I have albums by Slade, Medicine Head, Moody Blues, Lindisfarne, Kiki Dee, Faces, Robin Trower, Rolling Stones (Goats Head Soup) plus reissues by Georgie Fame, Zombies, Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, Yardbirds, Searchers, Hollies and Unit 4 + 2 just to name a few.

Thanks for sharing your story David. It’s so important because when you first hear those words “You’ve got cancer” you tend to feel pretty isolated among other things. I was diagnosed with bladder cancer in2001. Turned out it was stage 4, so the choices I had were pretty limited. I went through all the feelings and emotions you went through. Obviously I’m still here thanks to luck, a great surgeon and tremendous support from my family and a few great friends. I’m very open to talking about it, and it certainly changed me as well. Stay well my friend. Glad you made the video.

Congratulations to highlight this silent problem and share your experience. All men on my both side family died with prostate cancers ,some very old in the 70s with only hormonothérapy but others like my father and his father more younger because it was too late to treat when they discovered it. All depends on your generalist doctor who can inform and detect you ,what was not the case with my father . Not easy to have just a good doctor,mine was very good but go on retreat and no substitute . I'm 66 and one or two times a year I do PSA tests as he told me and everytime I'm very anxious because I think the surgery would be particulary paintful in this part of body as I saw for my father. Only one time 6 years ago I had an alert I was 350 PSA and my doctor successed to treat me without surgery and 6 month after my PSA became normal with the help of my past doctor. Thanks for this very instructive video and having sharing your experience .

Hello David , thanks for posting this. Had radiotherapy over 20 sessions in autumn of 2021 when I was aged 60 and initially it was detected via a couple of PSA blood tests back in the latter part of 2020. Really enjoy your music posts so fair play for this one . Stay healthy and keep enjoying the music , it keeps us young at heart . 👍🏻

Excellent video Dave and most informative- and more importantly a good outcome for yourself. Scary stuff that us fellows are good at avoiding!

Hey David. Good on ya for sharing your personal journey with this. Cheers

Congratulations on making the video and revealing your experience. The Vinyl community is full of men in the prime target area, so hopefully you will encourage them to be checked. Prostate surgery is not as invasive as it once was, now that Robotic surgery has increased. Again well done for making this video. Now back to the turntable please 😁

safe and effective

Great video and a very important one at that. My dad died of it so I was awhere of it big time. I had it checked out at 56 and and told I had it but it was very small so now I have it monitored every three months. However the important thing was it made my older brother get his Checked. So be proactive and get it checked and take control. Mentally I have parked this issue. Thanks David for this video tim x

Thank you for sharing. A great example of how we, as men, should be better about sharing health information and our journeys.

Prostate cancer ultimately led to my father's death but, to be fair, he refused surgery. I get my PSA checked annually along with the latex glove experience. Thanks for being so open about this part of your life.

The moment at 4:17 was celebratory news. So happy for that David! The psychological scars sound painful, but your recovery is so positive. You break down your experience so well. Thankful for you my friend! ✌️

Great setup!! I have always wanted an EAR 834P

Thanks David. I had my PSA checked last week. Its a bit high but below the level for referral to a urologist.

Thank you and good luck had PSA test on Thursday

Great video David. I'm 60 and have prostate issues at the moment, I have an enlarged prostate, I have my PSA tested every 4 months and it's normal ATM. I'm taking meds to shrink it and hopefully, they will work, but if they don't the specialist has said that they will probably take it out, my dad had the same thing at my age. Fantastic of you to highlight this silent killer, because most men don't have it checked until it's too late.

Sir David. Great vid. I have not to date (age 74) had any prostate issues...but I beat a cancer prognosis 10 years ago now (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma ) and another heart speed bump with a need for 2 stents 3 years ago. I passed the link onto 2 friends who like you have been down the same route as you and the removal of your prostate. Your discussion of this is so beneficial for other requiring it or some form of treatment for prostate cancer (radiation etc.) or just stop them from delaying annual checkups. You may have just saved someone's life of even more than that. Well done!

Thanks for sharing your prostate experiences David. I’ve been enjoying your channel for a few months now and found this latest one particularly insightful as I have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I am 61 years old with a Gleeson 6 level and will be on ‘active surveillance’ going forward. So good news as it has been diagnosed early. I am particularly interested in your choice to have surgery. Were you a higher Gleeson score? I have been told most men die with prostate cancer rather than from it! Anyway it has encouraged me to take early retirement and will finish end of Dec. Looking forward to a long and healthy future.

So relevant nowadays David. It seems to be occurring more often. Well done on great video.

I am very glad to hear you have survived this cancer and are with us to bring so much love and enjoyment of music. Every single time I have watched a video of yours I always say "we are brothers from a different mother" . A Canadian saying meaning our lives seem to parallel each other with experiences, likes, believe and music collecting similarities. I am 63 and am retired as you and right now at home recovering from Prostate Surgery as I too found earlier stages of cancer in my Prostate. My father had this Cancer but 25 yrs ago had less options to battle it. He lived till 88 so whatever was done must of worked. I chose removal and like you suffered with the Catheter and other discomforts but with the love of family,friends and God I am recovering fast and again to mirror your experience, I have been given the greenlight regarding any remaining infection in surrounding areas. I will be performing the twice yr PSA tests to monitor and my optimism is high that all will remain good. I eliminated all sugars and alcohol and most carbs from my diet which was needed to kill or slow cancer cell growth. regardless of my cancer , this was needed as my weight was getting too high. I now weigh 32lbs less but am working on regaining muscle weight which has been lost. Brian at Embryotic in Toronto has been my pen pal from the start as my journey through prostate cancer hell began and the VC has given me something of interest to watch as I recovered. Long rant and sorry for that but I had to write when I heard your story and am still amazed at how we two have so much in common. Good luck , all the best from Vancouver. Cheers Jonathan.

David. Fantastic video. Thanks for doing it. Such an important subject and as men we need to be talking more about our health to one another.

Once pete died it was never going to be the same. In a perfect world they would have split up after ocean rain. Leaving a beautiful legacy. Will obviously eternally great, but mcculloch is kind of a bloated remnant of his former self, voice destroyed by booze, fags, and coke. Surrounded by faceless session musicians. Yeah, this album was really really great.

Fantastic video David. You are great example of good decision-making around health decisions and a preventive approach. Very generous of you to share your story. I had a prostate biopsy about a year ago (negative for cancer fortunately) and also want to assure men these procedures are not as uncomfortable as we imagine.

I really like Western Stars. The songs sound fully formed to me and the strings subtly add emotional depth. For me it is top five.

Great video. V thoughtful and thorough. I'm a big Leonard Cohen fan but I'm not in the category where I idolise him. I do get the Goosebumps and tear responses though with his best stuff and love the simplicity of the arrangements. I think I agree on him coming into his own in the 80s onwards. Like Dylan, the tongue in cheek, ironic playful side of him and his lyrics are often missed by some earnest fans and critics. I personally don't find his songs depressing. Have you heard Sharon Robinson's Evernody knows album? Beautiful versions of his and their co-writtej songs. And I agree Alexandra leaving is a beautiful song. It's gets me every time!

Nick Drake's sister is the actress Gabrielle Drake. I love Nick's song The River Man.

Believe it or not the ramshacke Beefheart music wasnt random at all, he 'composed' every part on piano and made his musicians learn it all note for note. If you hear them do it live you gradually realise the arrangements are the same as on the records. 😅 Good list again David, I recently picked up that Flock of Seagulls.

Great list David, new subscriber here.😎

Inarticulate Speech of the Heart is balm for the soul, a truly beautiful collection of song and instrumentation.

Thanks for the recommendations, especially AVH Ceremony album.

The Final Cut is a terrific album and unique experience. I enjoy revisiting it each year.

Hi David An engaging run down of your favourite albums from 1983..Great that you managed to weave in a lot of your own personal history, that was interesting to hear. I have to disagree with you though and think Armed Forces was a great album, albeit very political and makes Costello cringe a bit now, but the short, snappy songs are great and memorable in imho. I have Trouble in Paradise, and it's OK.. I think Paul Simon is on that one?..agree with the unwelcome 80s sheen. I absolutely knew you would have Synchronicity as your top album, and it's probably up there for me too along with Murmur or The Violent Femmes debut as my own top choice. Enjoyable video. Rob.

I’d definitely have lucky town and human touch below greetings

"The Final Cut" does not pale in comparison to anything. It stands very tall on it's own merits.

Rather late to this!?! Postulated a while back on another review site that Genesis should have gone with the late, great David Longdon as their replacement vocalist. Never realised he auditioned for Genesis. He would have been magnificent, especially in the live arena.

Another great video Dave - I’m looking forward to your 2024 video when you meet me ! 👍 Oh and I love Fish era Marillion- far better than Genesis! (😂) The U2 New Years Day 12 inch is the same as the album version - the 7inch had a unique edit that’s actually better imo - there is a great USA remix of New Years Day on the Two Hearts 12 inch - and yes I have it !! Ta for the mention ❤
