Description

From schoolboy band to sold out stadium tours and worldwide album sales of over 100 million, Genesis were one of the defining progressive rock bands of the seventies, playing a huge part in shaping the genre. Over a career spanning forty years from formation to the world reunion tour of 2007, they developed and adapted through many personnel changes, some of which polarised their existing fans but drew countless new ones. While Foxtrot and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway helped define progressive rock, it was the three-piece line up of Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins that became the real hit-makers, with albums like Invisible Touch and We Can't Dance and massive hit singles like 'Turn It On Again' and 'Land of Confusion'. Fifteen studio and six live albums later, including six consecutive UK number one albums, fans still live in hope of yet another reunion tour which so far hasn't been ruled out. This book will take you on a journey through their entire catalogue, taking each album in turn and examining every track. It is an anthology from the viewpoint of a lifelong fan and it is hoped that this stirs many old memories as it has done for the author and provides an insight for newer fans of the band.
