Well, for the first Sunday of our music challenge I decided to go kinda biblical, and will feature the music of Genesis, along with original lead singer Peter Gabriel. Genesis was one of the coolest progressive rock bands under the guidance of Gabriel. Albums followed themes, and grand stories. This is epitomised in the two disc set The Lamb Lie Down on Broadway (Gabriel's last studio effort with the band). After Gabriel's departure the groups music took a commercial pop turn under the lead of drummer Phil Collins. As far as radio play, and album sales, the band was much better of under Collins, but as for really creative music, the Gabriel era was the winner.
For me G is for Genesis and Gabriel...who is G for you??
