About the band: Genesis are a British rock band formed in 1967, whose output in the period 1970-1976 (the Gabriel and/or Hackett years) is among the very best of prog rock. After the departure of first Gabriel, and then Hackett, the remaining three members (Collins, Rutherford, Banks) opted for a more commercial rock sound that was highly successful for about 12 years. The band released 15 studio albums. One of my favourite bands for their prog years, even though I also appreciate some songs that came later. Genesis currently have nine songs in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time.
About the song: Entangled is a track from the 1976 album A trick of the tail, the first Genesis album after the departure of charismatic front man Peter Gabriel. With Phil Collins taking over the lead, the album consists of one prog masterpiece after the other. One of the highlights is this tender ballad written by Banks and Hackett, definitely one of the most touching songs in the Genesis catalogue. Beautiful, the way the songs ends in instrumental majesty in a dazzling combination of guitars, mellotrons and synthesizers. Run time 6:26.
