Genesis [image: Inline image 1]
My favorite - "Abacab", 1981, featuring the "gated" drum sound: Daryl Stuermer, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, and Phil Collins. Genesis - Abacab (Full album) http://youtu.be/KX4kpMb0mTM Genesis, is a progressive rock band, (sometimes critiqued as MOR) is among the highest-selling recording artists of all time, with approximately 150 million albums sold worldwide. Genesis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. Phil Collins has written a book about the Alamo in San Antonio - a good read. According to The New Rolling Stone Album Guide, "Genesis has made its share of mediocre albums - perhaps even more than its share, considering how long the band has been around. But bad albums? None to speak of."
