I was a huge Genesis fan growing up (mostly the PG-era) but didn't mind the first album or two when it was fronted by Phil .. Oh, no, no, no. Genesis was fronted by Peter Gabriel. Saw them live twice during the Selling England by the Pound and Lamb Lies Down on Broadway era. Gabriel was definitely the dominant partner, and what a magnificent performer. I remember Phil getting down from the drum set once during the performance and coming forward in a pair of white overalls with no shirt to sing one song; then back to the drum set with him. I think he also sang harmonies with Gabriel into the microphone whilst drumming.
The band actually started up when the guys were kids in boarding school in the 60s, and Phil wasn't an original member.

No, I meant the first album or two
after Gabriel left when Collins took over the lead vox. "Trick" and "Wind" were still great. Invisible Touch? Not so much.
How many of today's snowflakes would get a severe case of butt-hurt if a band released a single titled Illegal Alien in this day and age?!
