Well yes, and I have heard this before. Two friends and fellow Genesis fans have also questioned my preference to post-Gabriel Genesis. Right or wrong, one can debate that the band took off after Gabriel left. I like all Genesis up until the mid 80's "Genesis" record, and my preference is the era made up of Collins, Hackett, Rutherford and Banks, and the few years after Hackett left. For me, Rutherford and Banks made powerful instrumental contributions to the band that became obvious after Gabriel left.Wow! No Gabriel record in your 4?
