Genesis is one of the greatest prog band the world has ever seen...and that alone automatically qualifies them to b one of the most influential.,
If the members of one later band doesn't testify to the fact that they were influenced by one early band..that doesn't automatically mean that they were not..
Imagine any rock band that came out in the past 40 yrs saying that they were not infulenced by The Beatles atleast in some way...

I like one song though or rather a video. The one about suicide . But PT is a joke.

no, I am just trying to say, they're nothing special, to me they suck and I have no power to put down any band, it's just an opinion
