Oh, I don't know. I think Ray Wilson did okay. If Genesis made a mistake, it was in picking something too predictable. Ray's voice is too close to Phil's and Peter's -- especially Peter's (IMO).
My take on
Calling All Stations is that it showed potential. It seemed to me like Ray wasn't given much of a chance to make a claim for himself on that album because most of the vocal melodies had already been written before he got there. As a result, they seemed to be written for Tony Banks's more limited range. Just my interpretation, which could be wrong.
Personally, I always had the fantasy that Fish was going to sing for them.
Never happen, though. Besides, as much as I love the guy (right up to his newest album), I have to admit that his voice just isn't what it once was....
If Fish had taken over, though, at least some people would've heard of the new Genesis lead singer. Okay, maybe not many people in the U. S., but....
