my Process of GENESIS

I've listened to Genesis for almost exactly ten years. Now I try to make a reconstuction of the timeline, along which I fell in love with each piece.

So it's not an ordinary best of Genesis list. Still every track here has passed the gates into the deeper parts of my heart and memory.

To make the picture even more full, some special solo works of either Banks, Collins, Hackett, Rutherford or Gabriel is mentioned in between the mainly group creations.
