A Total Change from their first album Included songs like: White Mountain, Stagnation, & The Knife
Also for a Third time they got a new drummer his name was John Mayhew.

After Nursery Cryme came "Foxtrot" an album like no one had ever seen before. This album holds the classic Genesis tune
Supper's Ready.A song which lasts 23 minutes long and fills your mind with all kinds of funny & mind melting images.

In 1975 Lead Vocalist Peter Gabriel right after "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Tour"
An Album the will always be a favorite with all hardcore Genesis fans everywere.
A 2 Record Set with the adventure of Rael. If a movie were to be
made out of this album, it would of been better than "The Wall" and thats saying a lot!

Instead of getting a new singer, they stuck Phil up to the mic stand.
Genesis recorded 2 great albums "A Trick of the Tail & "Wind and Wuthering"
