good point
so did Gabriel keep more in tune with his genesis roots than Collins did during thier post-genesis careers?
Yes he did. Phil went almost totally soft-rock/pop with a ton of ballads, I like plenty of Phil's solo stuff but it was solid pop music, Phil could write hooks and melody that's for sure. Gabriel stayed truer to early Genesis because he was the core of that bands artistry from Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Selling England by the Pound etc his influence stands front and center...especially the live shows. When he left and Phil took over you could def. feel/hear the change as it's pretty stark. Again, most of it is still good but it is definitely different.
