I didn't know the Rush question (Rush is one of the few important prog artists that I didn't learn to appreciate, yet) and I wasn't as quick as Steven Wilson to answer the Genesis question: that is to say, the Phil Collins question, not the producers question.
 
Steven Wilson did a good job Clap

LOLI found it really funny how Opeth's singer didn't know the questions, not laughing at his lack of knowledge(though I'm sure he knew more than 2), if not his faces when Steven answered really fast and he couldn't even speak a bit. Funny fellas.

For the trivia, I knew plenty of them, but the Producer's and Hemispheres knocked me out, also forgot in which city was recorded GFTO which I never listen, lol.

I'd say I got about 3/4 of them, but most slower than Steven Wilson.

Ha ha, Mike is so cofusedShocked here how fast Steve he is, anyway not hard questions. But for sure Steve was quiker than me too. I know 90% from question , the minus was King Crimson, never a  fan of the band. Funny stuffThumbs Up

Saw this quite some time ago (a few months, I think).  I knew every single one of them.  Though admittedly, Wilson was a bit quicker on a couple than I was.

I knew about 3/4 of the answers. I never realized that Phil Collins sung the lead vocals on 'For Absent Friends', though I've known this song for some 33 years...Embarrassed

Well, the interesting thing about early Genesis, was that Gabriel and Collins sang nearly every song in a dual lead vocal fashion (or, I suppose, harmony vocals).  The new remix/remaster boxset makes this far more evident.  I don't think they did it live though, at least not as much.
