Collins has also done quite a lot of drum work with Brian Eno.
I like the Invisible Touch albumā¦

HE didnāt take them anywhere. The whole commercial direction was engineered by Banks who was quoted as saying that he was disappointed that HIS music wasnāt reaching a wider audience.
The confusion over who was behind the commercialisation of Genesis is down to Collinsā solo work. Banks resented his success.
Due to his popularity and ubiquity, Collins became a pariah much in the way Sheeran and Hucknell have.

And played on some John Martyn albums - the obvious high point of his career.

There was quite a collaboration on āGrace and Dangerā with both of them going through divorces at the time, so probably not a high point on a personal level (unless you mean the drugs and booze involved). The album is an emotional break up album and Collins and Martyn went down the road hard.
Yeah, itās quite the album. Really need to do some solid JM listening again, stuck Solid Air on yesterday for the first time in quite a while and had several proper āDamn, thatās amazingā moments again.
Yes, I get that. I suppose the fact Collins moved to fronting the band at around the same time made me believe it was all him.
Had Seconds Out playing last night before a bit of Nursery Cryme.
I saw Genesis a couple of times, once just after Lamb lies down & again with Collins at the front around the time of Trick of the Tail/Wind & Wuthering & it was like two entirely different bands as I recall. Iād have been 15/16 ish but my older brother had been buying all their albums so I was familiar with what they were about. I thought everything they did from Duke onwards was terrible.

I really enjoy watching some of these reaction videos particularly from the young American guys whoāve grown up with Hip Hop culture.
Itās really quite interesting to get a very different take on music you know so well. Every single time they pick up on the bass and the beats especially Chris Squire - he got the funk. 
Think Iāll give it a go tomorrow
Picked some genesis up a while back that Iāve not played
