I have two turntables (and a microphone!)
I only got into Genesis post Gabriel as well. Initially, in grade school/junior high, I thought they were some metal band with a religious reference and I kinda avoided them. Then, I saw the Genesis Live show on Cinemax (which became the live Seconds Out album). That was my favorite album for a long time, a collection of material from the band up to Lamb Lies Down. and then I learned about this Gabriel guy and the previous incarnation of the band. I was taking guitar lessons and my teacher, Roger, taught me Horizons which is a guitar-only Steve Hackett piece from Foxtrot. I love that song and bought Foxtrot and then got sucked into all the other tracks. I think that's my favorite Genesis album.
There's a Genesis cover band from Montreal called "The Musical Box". They have the endorsement of both Genesis and Peter G to perform those shows. A friend had a spare ticket and I saw LLDoB at the Masonic. A recreation of the full multimedia event with three slide projectors and reproductions of the original costumes. It was amazing, but the Watcher of the Skies encore was the best part (side 3/4 of LLD0B gets a little slow).
I like Genesis w/Phil up front thru Duke and into Abacab, but there's some really bad songs on Abacab and you can see where the band is going. I quit listening after that. I saw a clip/interview with Phil/Tony/Michael and Phil was looking pretty bad. I imagine it would be a pretty depressing show.
One a different note, I saw a band called "The Security Project" which was all musicians that either played on Gabriel's first 5 albums, or toured with him. They played at Don Quixote's in Felton. They were really tight and great, though the singer was decidedly not Gabriel sounding at all.
