By the way, for someone who mentioned Hackett, Please Don't Touch (was that the
title?) and Voyage of the Acolyte are both very good, especially the latter. I'm
surprised nobody else commented on it. 

Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering are very good. I actually have heard
only a little of Genesis with Gabriel. Some of it I liked, some I didn't, but
of course that's how I got into Yes, and now I love them. Seems to me that 
Genesis really died when Hackett left, and he burned out shortly thereafter
(I may be wrong, but I think Voyage was done as a solo effort while he was
still with the band). They have put out a few good numbers since then, nothing
like their earlier greatness, but good (Abacab, (Second) Home by the Sea, etc..),
but what bugs me most about their current lineup is the fact that they don't 
credit Daryl Stuermer or Chester Thompson as full fledged members of the band.
They are both good musicians and deserve better (If you can ever get an album
called Angels of the Deep, or a self-titled album by Sweetbottom, you'll hear
just how good Stuermer is. He also played with Zappa, and I think once with
Ponty).

Another good Genesis spinoff is Anthony Phillips. He is a guitarist who I believe
was actually a member of Genesis for a short time, but I am not sure (I'm sure
someone will tell me :-). He is a guitarist and has put out several solo albums.
On one of them at least he had all of Genesis except Hackett (I believe that 
included Gabriel at the time). Both of his albums that I have found are quite
good and worth buying.
