yeah, total innovation from behind the kit here. when you strip back those ol' classics and listen to how the songs were constructed, the themes, etc, you begin to see how creative phil was in the early days.

prog legend ....... definitely

Much like Rutherford and Banks (also guys like Squire and Oldfield, but that's a different thread) I love Phil's former period, but hate what he became.
You need to also write songs that get some radio attention, thats buisness, and for a radio orientated tune  those songs you said were perfect , plus  your own special way has beauty about it I think its hacketts atmosphers .  not sure     and Follow you Follow me is a great song  and one of the most recognised tunes Genesis ever made (check out the keys in it) sure its not prog but that doesn`t make it bad

Heres a list of top shelf songs Genesis did without Peter gabriel

Dance on a Volcano

Blood On The Roof Tops

Entangled

Follow You Follow Me

Mad Man Moon

One For The Vine

Ripples

Squonk

Many Too Many

Snowbound

Your Own Special Way

Undertow

Afterglow

Fading Lights

Not only was Phil Collins a great drummer (as also proven with his work with Brand X) Phil proved he could take over on vocals for Genesis (can you imagine how big the shoes were that Gabriel wore that Phil would try and fill ?)  Phil Collins deserves to be knighted for even trying

So for all you people who don`t like Phil Collins how about showing some respect, after all for the Next three CD`s after Peter Gabriel left , Phil and company continued to deliver quality music .

I probably left some songs out but this list was done from my memory.
