The grandeur of Genesis
F--k Johnny Rotten—Genesis is not boring. They deserve this newfound R-E-S-P-E-C-T. (Phil Collins LOVES Aretha!)
I know Collins is loved and loathed worldwide. (Tarzan songs BAD, drumming GOOD.)Guitarist-bassist Mike Rutherford is a polite gentleman who plays polo and makes unassuming solo records with Mike & The Mechanics.If you really want to know why Genesis fans love Genesis, it’s because of keyboardist Tony Banks. Banks’ secret? Thick and ethereal chords. Think “Mama” and practically everything on Wind and Wuthering. Don’t believe me? Put on the headphones, close your eyes and blast Duke.Genesis will take you places even good drugs couldn’t manage. –Steven Ward
