Album of the Day

Wind and Wuthering, by Genesis (1976): Depending on your perspective, this album represents the last Genesis album worth a damn or simply the beginning of the end, as it's the last album with guitarist Steve Hackett. Honestly, I tend to fall into the latter camp. This was hardly the last album to contain overtly prog material and it contains what could be the sign of things to come, the ballad "You're Own Special Way." It's also a bit of an odd album, as it contains not one but two instrumentals. Finally, it has one of my favorite all-time Hackett tunes, "Blood on the Rooftops," which he's recently revived in concert.
