Genesis

I saw solo Gabriel about 5 times. Always a great show! I only wish saw I him with Banks, Rutherford, Hackett and Collins. Did see Genesis without Gabriel at a stadium somewhere. Great show with two drummers I believe. Phil Collins was a great drummer. By the way, if you haven't heard Collins with Brand X, I would recommend it. Great musicians. 

I was first introduced to them with the We Can’t Dance album, around the time it came out. I have since worked my way all of the way back and pretty much enjoy it all. Early Genesis and late Genesis are very different musical styles obviously, but I like them both. They are definitely in my top three favorite musical groups of all time. 

1. The Genesis tribute band “The Musical Box” does a great job of recreating original Genesis live performances and worth seeing if in your area. 

So close to my heart, my discovery of good music, prog rock on general.  As mentioned, they are a different animal after Hacket AND Gabriel left.  For me it's hard but Lamb is hard to beat.  SEBTP is prob fave 2 sided.  And yes, Collins in Brand X is awesome although its only one or two albums.  I could take Then There Were 3 but after that, big Nope.

Anyone else discover Hackett in Djabe?  A mix of E European elite musicians doing prog rock / jazz fusion.  Lots of great live recordings and many Genesis covers.  Check out Life is a Jouney - The Budapest Tapes and Live in Blue.  Amazing bassist.

Now that we have Genesis fans here,  any good "newer" groups that fill that niche for you?  I'll throw out Riverside.   Start with their first 3 "trilogy" CDs.  Go from there.  Recommendations welcome!
