The Genesis Songbook

When Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford joined forces in the late sixties, their initial intentions were not to be recording artists in their own right but rather songwriters, writing songs that would ultimately be recorded by other artists.

That initial plan soon fell by the wayside when in the early seventies the group secured a record deal and started releasing albums as Genesis. During the subsequent years, the group progressed from being at the forefront of the underground scene with the release of such albums as Trespass and Nursery Cryme, to become household names upon the release of chart topping albums such as We Can't Dance and Invisible Touch.

By talking to the individual members of the group, we will discover what they consider to be their favourite Genesis songs, and the reasons why certain songs have a special place in the Genesis story. The songs that are chosen by the members of the band will not be because of chart success but because they are special to them on a personal level.

Together with contributions from the group members, we also have the opportunity to hear from the group's management, celebrity fans and some of the many fans who have followed Genesis throughout their long and varied career, as to why certain songs from the Genesis song book will always remain special to them.
