      I discovered this little gem of a book back when I was in high school. I had only been listening (really listening) to Genesis for about a year, and this guide was my first introduction to a more critical view of their work.Author Chris Welch, a professional music critic for the past 50 years, reviews nearly every officially released Genesis song from 1969 to the mid-1990's, and reading his analysis of obscure songs like "Wot Gorilla?" (from their 1976 album Wind & Wuthering) tells me Welch is a true fan. Also he doesn't hold back when highlighting where the music falls short, like celebrated compositions such as "Supper's Ready" and nearly all of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway album.Genesis is my favorite band of all-time, and perhaps always will be. It's not often that I meet others (or read books) willing to discuss this group at depth.
