@oilingup DTA - Don't Trust Anybody. Pink Floyd, Genesis and Rush survived the punk rock onslaught. If Genesis still did Wind and Wuthering 2, The Lamb Lies Down 3 then Genesis may not have survived. Pink Floyd ixnayed epics in 1979 for The Wall and they had their highest selling album. Rush added New Wave and Reggae to its arrangements and they survived. ELP and Yes went out of style by 1979/80 respectively. ELP should never have reunited. Yes should have broken up in 1992 but nevermind.

@XanaduUchiha You can also say the Hall of Fame inducted Pink Floyd for A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell when it was for all of what they did from 1967-95. Genesis were inducted for the Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins material (Ray Wilson wasn't even inducted). Peter Gabriel no-showing this was as bad as when Roger Waters no-showed at Pink Floyd's induction in 1996. At least, David Gilmour and Rick Wright did an unplugged "Wish You Were Here" whereas Genesis didn't play.

@yesshows100 No, they were inducted for the stuff with Gabriel. Genesis were inducted with Tony, Phil, Mike, Steve and Peter. Anthony Phillips was missing but c'est la vie. Sadly this is the last time we'll see Genesis. Phil Collins retired this year due to damaging his spinal cord and nerves in his hands plus is partially deaf. If Phil wasn't injured then Genesis may have happened once more after 2007 but Peter doesn't want to do a tour nor album but a film on The Lamb Lies Down.

PHISH NEEDS TO BE IN THE HALL OF FAME!!!!!

At 1:14 when Phil says I get to do the dirty work, Tony and Mike don't look to happy with Phil for that comment!

[yesshows100]

The problem is that, they were inducted because of Invisible Touch, Land Of Confusion, Turn it on again, Mama, Misunderstanding, I can't Dance, instead of The Fountain of Salmacis, Watcher of the skies, The Musical Box, Supper's Ready, Eleventh Earl Of Mar.

really happy to see Steve Hackett there. he's as much a part of the band as any of the rest of them. Gabriel can kiss my ass, he never hardly even acknowledges Genesis and his time with them anymore. he did some amazing things with them, some of the best music in all of history, but he's apparently ashamed of it. i can understand being ashamed of those STUPID costumes he wore, but the music? the music they made in the early 70's was incredible and beyond any of the other prog groups of the day.

So Peter couldn't make it, eh.. "planning a tour." Ha, what total crap! Sad Peter couldn't be appreciative of his past in a great band, of honoring what they accomplished during his era, in honoring those wishing to honor HIM. Thankfully, Genesis' music will live on, as it's MUCH bigger and tremendously more important than trite personality and ego clashes. Genesis was always MUCH bigger than its parts (sorry, Peter). Incredibly inventive, creative and beautiful was Genesis in its best days!
