The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
''The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway'' is the sixth studio album from the English rock band Genesis, released as a double album on 18 November 1974 on Charisma Records. It is their last studio album released with Peter Gabriel as lead singer. It is a concept album about a New York street kid called Rael and his quest for spiritual self-discovery. It was followed by a six-month tour which has been described by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as "a spectacle on par with anything attempted in the world of rock to that point".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Genesis Biography )〕
It is one of two Genesis albums to be included in the top ten of ''Rolling Stones "50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time", who ranked it at number nine and acclaimed it as "one of rock's more elaborate, beguiling and strangely rewarding concept albums".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= 50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time )〕 It has also been deemed one of the 23 "Maddest And Most Memorable Concept Albums" by ''NME'' for "taking in themes of split personalities, heaven and hell and truth and fantasy".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= 23 Of The Maddest And Most Memorable Concept Albums )〕
== Background ==
Following their ''Selling England by the Pound'' tour, the band went on retreat to Headley Grange to write and develop their next album. Used previously by Bad Company and Led Zeppelin, this was where the band hoped living together away from other distractions would help inspire creativity and develop unity between the members. The house, however, was in poor condition and infested by rats. Several band members had difficulty sleeping, believing the house was haunted.〔
Peter Gabriel was absent from the album's writing and rehearsal sessions due to personal problems – his first wife was having difficulties with her first pregnancy.〔 Gabriel was contacted by filmmaker William Friedkin (at the time enjoying success with ''The Exorcist''), about a possible film project after Friedkin read Gabriel's short story on the sleeve of the ''Genesis Live'' album.〔 Despite his bandmates' disapproval, Gabriel left them to work on some early script drafts. However, the project came to nothing (Friedkin instead working with Tangerine Dream to score his next film, ''Sorcerer''), and Gabriel returned to the band.〔 For this reason, most of the music was written by Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Steve Hackett. One of the influences Gabriel had was the movie ''El Topo'' ("The Mole"), a surrealistic western by Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky and so insisted on writing the story and all the lyrics himself. This caused some friction as Rutherford had originally suggested an album based on ''The Little Prince'' by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.
