So I guess there's this band called Genesis.

So at one time in my life, probably around high school, I decided I hate Genesis and Phil Collins sucks most of all and they don't rock hard like Zep or the Stones or Aerosmith. Then, when I was a Junior I got into pink floyd and later in college, Jethro Tull. A few years ago I got into Gentle Giant. eventually I had to admit to myself that Genesis really wasn't much different in sound than a lot of these art-rock groups that I like.

I listened to some of their albums on Rhapsody and I reluctantly admitted that I like this group. I'm not one those prog-heads that claim that the band was only good with Peter Gabriel either. I actually liked Invisible Touch more than that so-called masterpiece called Foxtrot.

Eventually I started to get obsessive and I ended-up ordering this 1976-1982 Box Set (must have all their albums!!!) It's pretty good, I have to say. It's not just remastered, but actually remixed from the original master tapes. I recommend this for anyone who is certain that they want all five of these albums and the bonus material that goes along with it, and can find it for much less than MSRP, like I did.
