The 1977 prog masterpiece Taylor Hawkins called his “drum bible”
A major compliment from Hawkins.
Genesis
The 1978 song that became Phil Collins’ greatest compliment: “Made us a bigger band”
The highest praise he could get.
The 1976 song that gave Genesis their new lead singer: “Can I have a go?”
The start of a new beginning.
The one musician Phil Collins never wanted to talk to: “A miserable bastard”
Much too cynical for him.
The 1980 song that became Genesis’ most complex single: “It sounds simple”
As prog-rockers, Genesis enjoyed complex compositions.
The band Phil Collins realised was trying to destroy Genesis: “We were the enemy”
The unintended rivalry between different subgenres.
