I will firmly agree with you on the quality of Genesis while Gabriel was with the group. I love the albums from that time period, with faves going of course to Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. I'll listen five times more to Genesis from this period than any other Prograssive/Psychadelic Band (for arguements sake, yes, I will include Yes, King Crimson, ELP, et al in this grouping). No way, in regards to the steadily declining trash that Genesis has put out since Gabriel left. I owned every album, up to the point of the last album. I just could not bring myself to do it. The band has gone too far from their roots that I fell in love with. I am tired of Collin's style of drumming. I barf if I hear more than three notes of "Illegal ALien" as a purely subconcious action. It is my opinion that I will never see Genesis again, no matter how much the old love is there, the vile in my mouth keeps me away. Let's talk music.....
