Phil Collins' existence is really a problem, though. I just pretend he hated every minute of it, was only in it for the money, and secretly hated all the arty ideas surrounding him.

As you might know, youīre wrong. According to Genesis document I just watched he really enjoyed to join the group (he came to Nursery Cryme). At first he was really wondering the atmosphere of the band, because he has always been open minded and others not (somebody just went away with banging doors in some rehearsals without any seeing arguments of anybody), but he get used to it soon. He really didnīt want to start to be vocalist after Gabriel, but others demand it. I have always liked his drumming, vocals are ok. As you can notice, also Genesis have had a lots of Spinal Tap.
Lamb Lies was my first whole Genesis album. Really didnīt understand the whole thing at first, but many listenings started to love it. Albums from Foxtrot to Lamb Lies are my favourites, hard to say which of them is the best (really also love their Live-album, I think itīs the only prog-live album that time only one album long). And yes, I think prog-pop is correct term with Genesis. Even they have album oneside song "Suppers ready", it also has a lot of pop elements.
