The Twelve Song Album Game

[The Walrus]

I've heard Selling England by the Pound and that's about it. So I kinda know what the band sounds like, but I haven't heard anything beyond this album.

Well, you sort of got it already.  Genesis - English prog legends, known for the 23-minute Supper's Ready, the double-album concept record "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway", but who had been increasingly moving into the pop arena with songs like "Follow You, Follow Me", "Turn It On Again", and - from the same album as "Whodunnit?" - "Man On The Corner", then released this punky, quirky, three minute sound collage of synthesizer, drums and guitar and an improvised lyric that meant, basically nothing.

I want to know how long most women get through this monologue at the bar before walking out.

Women don't listen to Genesis.

Songs that were the most unique/unexpected from the band when they were released

1. Demons & Wizards - Midas Disease (didn't expect them sound like AC/DC at all)
2. Pain Of Salvation - Mortar Grind (didn't except them to sound like a 70s psychedelic rock band)
3. Guns N' Roses - My World (some unholy mixture of bad rap and nu metal; none of the band except Axl even knew it was on the record when it released)
4. Steven Wilson - Permanating (Steven Wilson has done poppy songs before but people are still salty at this song's existence to this day so idk)
5. Genesis - Whodunnit?
6. Talk Talk - April 5th (first foray into ambient post rock)
7. Sigur Rós - Brennisteinn (didn't expect a light ethereal post-rock band to release a metal song with harsh noise elements)
8. Ensiferum - Two of Spades (Viking metal goes DISCO!)
