On we go:
Trollheart's Genesis Top Ten
Number Eight

"Fading Lights" - We Can't Dance (1991)
If only for the incredible Banks keyboard solo that takes up about half of this ten-minute closer that should have brought the curtain down on their career in fine style.

Eh, that piano improvisation is pure Banks bruh. And Ray has a great voice, though he doesn't resemble Collins all that much.

I didn't say Ray hadn't a good voice; I just said that listening to it on the radio I wouldn't recognise it as Genesis. I think I'd have understood the title track to be Genesis, even though I would have wondered who was doing the vocals, but not that. Piano improv whatever, the melody owes nothing to the Genesis I know.
