sorry, have to say something here.  Phil Collins did _not_ ruin Genesis.  
Peter Gabriel leaving ruined Genesis.  As far as Phil being a shittie 
singer, again, I'll disagree.  There were times, especially on Genesis 
Live where I can't tell the difference between Gabriel and Collins.  
Still when I here the two, even though I can easily tell the two apart, 
they remind me of each other.  One thing that always bothered me about 
Phil Collins, though I worship him as a drummer, is why the hell did he 
always use drum machines???

Speaking of Peter Gabriel :)  wow....he did a great job of putting a band 
together....Tony Levin, Manu Katche (sp?), Shankar....great band!
