Review about Squonk ------Performed by Genesis | 09/30/2007 11:00:00 AM The song that changed it all... This was actually the song that convinced not only his bandmates, but Phil Collins himself, that he could actually take the reigns from Peter Gabriel, immediately ending the search for a new lead man. It's a powerful song and one of the best "story" songs genesis ever recorded. Written by the guitarist of the group, it features one of Mike Rutherford's best performances on doubleneck bass/electric with booming bass pedals. He was always good at this, but realy shines on this album. The sound and melody carried all the way into Los Endos, the final instrumental on the album, which became a huge in-concert hit as well. This became the blueprint for several other album-enders on "And Then there were Three", and "Duke". All in all, a pivotal moment for the band. Thanks to Bob/Westfield, NJ for submitting the review.
