Genesis has been unfairly lumped into the prog rock set, perhaps because of the cryptic titles and lengthy suites, and I'm not sure "Duke" and my personal favorite, "A Trick of the Tail," contradict that notion. But both seem to stake out territory of their own, making a case for Genesis as one of the great hybrid bands of the 70s & 80s.

I loved Genesis back in the day, so many great songs! Thanks for this fun read.
You're welcome! I enjoyed writing it. And thanks for reading.
Thank you for the link to my reunion piece!
