Genesis

If ever a band represented the seismic changes brought about by punk, it was this lot.

[John Walters]I used to go and see Genesis, and after about three minutes, I thought, 'Oh I wish this would stop!'.

[John Peel]I can't listen to Genesis any more.

From Teenage Kicks

Genesis featured in the very first Festive fifty in 1976 and never threatened the chart again.

From Teenage kicks:

''Supper's Ready (FF 1976 #31) is Genesis' summa cum laude: when Peter Gabriel was still dressing up in grotesque cabaret years before David Byrne copied the idea, Tony Banks looked happy, Mike Rutherford never even dreamed of Mike And The Mechanics and Phil Collins was a drummer and nothing else. This 23-minute tone poem occupies almost the entire second side of a truly fine album, Foxtrot.''
