I think it's definetely possible for Genesis to make a reunion. At this point, I think as old men, all of the members of Genesis wouldn't really feel the need to produce any pop music to appease the billboard charts and the general masses. What's the point in trying to sell your self as pop rock group of 60-somethings and 50-somethings?

I agree with sleeper and Moogtron, that I hope that they do the logical and fair thing and try going back to a "progressive rock" style. I don't really expect anything that is totally like Pre-Wind and Wuthering, I mean Genesis could take on avant garde music or jazz fusion and I wouldn't really mind; in fact I'd love it! I think they've been avoiding the fans who loved the original line-up. Genesis just doesn't feel complete without the whole team.

And besides, just because time suggests that the pattern will never change, once you've been "progressive" you'll NEVER be "unprogressive."

I'd prefer a tour with the old stuff (will Peter fit in 'the flower'? ) including some songs from Collins-era sung by Gabriel especially those from ATOTT or W&W.

Maybe after touring they could think about a new CD with new material.

It would be funny watching Gabriel sing "I can't dance"
Don't be a prog-hole, please...
