Ah no.

''...Collins last played with Genesis in 2007 and last played live in 2010. He has now said that his younger children are encouraging his return to performing....''

So, even his kids can't stand him and want him out of the house.

Aw a bit harsh, Genesis have done some great stuff imo.

[Five Minutes]

There's worse bands than them, that's the scary bit.

Never appreciated Genesis when I was growing up, but they've had a few goodies that I liked in the late 70's/early 80's, but not a patch on Marillion!

"I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite."

Awful man. Awful band. Awful news.

I liked their early stuff with Peter Gabriel (Trespass, Foxtrot and Selling England By The Pound) but can't be arsed with most of the Collins era with him at the helm (except possibly the albums 'A Trick Of The Tail and 'Duke').

[Sinister]

They wrote some great tracks during the Gabriel period and although I've never seen them live, they were renowned for putting on a great live show.
