Released in 1980 on Duke, Genesis’s “Turn It On Again” was born from discarded solo material by Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks, then supercharged by Phil Collins’ rhythmic instincts. A meditation on media obsession, the song became a UK Top 10 hit and is famous for its shifting time signatures, alternating between 13/8, 6/4, and 7/4. What began as a slow riff morphed into one of Genesis’s most technically thrilling rock staples.
