I go with early Genesis, Gabriel had the hability of telling long and complex stories that are interesting to listen and fot perfectly with the music.
Songs like
The Musical Box, Fountain of Salmacis, The Return of the Giant Hogweed, Supper's Ready, Get 'em Out by Friday or White Mountain have amazing music and lyrics.
The way the band plays with the words and concepts of the Book of Revelation in Supper's Ready is incredible:
Quote:
With the guards of Magog, swarming around,
The Pied Piper takes his children underground.
The Dragon's coming out of the sea,
with the shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me.
He brings down the fire from the skies,
You can tell he's doing well, by the look in human eyes.
You'd better not compromise.
It won't be easy.
666 is no longer alone,
He's getting out the marrow in your back bone,
And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll,
Gonna blow right down inside your soul.
Pythagoras with the looking-glass, reflecting the full moon,
In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune.
