In reply to the discussion: Peter Gabriel to Rush Limbaugh: Stop using my music... [View all]... as a huge prog rock fan I would have to say that Genesis' music and King Crimson's couldn't be farther apart.
And Crimson literally launched the genre with 1969's In the Court of the Crimson King.
And that while I have great respect for Peter Gabriel, Genesis was never in King Crimson's league at all.

"In the Court of the Crimson King" was a major problem for Genesis. Think "The Lamb".

When Genesis first wanted a touring drummer after Gabriel left, they used Bill Bruford

I still love "In the Beginning", and that predates Crimson. It's also how they got started.

"Eleventh Earl of Mar" and "One for the Vine" were definitely prog, but FYFM was the tipping point.

Speaking of Musical Box - that's the only tribute band supported by all current and former members.

Wow. Did Adrian do "Sexy Rhino"? Seriously though, Musical Box is so damn close...

Seen PG a couple of times over the years, perhaps none more powerful than 1990 at Wembley...
