    		 This has been a major debate for many. The people who have listened to Peter Gabriel Genesis would NOT listen to Phil Collins Genesis and the people who have listened to Phil Collins Genesis would NOT listen to Peter Gabriel Genesis.

    I, myself, like both! The Phil Collins Genesis took over where Peter Gabriel Genesis left off, but as the 70's passed by...they became more poppier because if they didn't...Genesis would probably have disappeared.

    Also, Phil Collins DID pull-off sounding like Peter Gabriel and he (Collins) kept most of the songs Gabriel sang such as "The Knife"...though the song got cut in half after Gabriel left and "The Musical Box" which was the end of a few Gabriel-era Genesis songs such as "Moonlight Knight" and "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway".

    And BOTH Gabriel Genesis and Collins Genesis DID have duds...in the Gabriel Genesis, it was "From Genesis to Revelation" and "Tresspass" (with the exception of "The Knife") and in the Collins Genesis, it was "Illegal Alien" and "Jesus he knows Me".

    And the 1996 "Calling All Stations" Genesis does NOT count...there was no true lead singer at the time!

    		 I love them both, but I'm certainly more partial towards Phil Collins, namely because I like more of his solo work.

    		 Trespass isn't a dud to me at all. It's actually one of my favorite Genesis albums. I like everything from the first album, From Genesis to Revelations up to Abacab. After that I only like a couple of songs, Just a Job to do off '83's Genesis, the extended 12 inch remix of Tonight Tonight Tonight, On the Shorline which is an outtake from We Can't Dance and the '99 version of Carpet Crawlers which was a nice closer to Genesis' career and features vocals from both Gabriel and Collins.

    		 Easily Phil Collins, with Genesis or not, anybody that gets hit-single status from a song entitled "Shock The Monkey" should be castrated in my book.

    		 Phil Collins Genesis, but Peter Gabriel solo in my book.

    I kinda like the pre-Phil Collins Genesis, but it was when Phil Collins became the drummer and they had Steve Hackett after Anthony Phillips left because of Stage Fright.

    PS-Collins got the gig by listening to the previous drummers as well as probably listening to their album "Tresspass", in which I said before was played live until 1980 with Collins singing the song "The Knife".
