The Friday Canon: GENESIS FAMILY TREE



GEN-O-FACTS:
- Mike Rutherford invented the prog atom! Then he got bored of Physics (including LASERS) after watching the film Grease and decided to sing about fixing cars instead.
- The singer from Stiltskin replaced Phil Collins in 1997, but then they realised he was rubbish and Phil came back!
- Phil Collins dumped his second wife by fax!
- Peter Gabriel liked dressing up as Weed out of Bill & Ben to combat his stage fright! He also sang on the Babe 2: Pig In The City soundtrack.

The hoary old members of Genesis have had 64 UK Top 40 hits between them! That means you the reader get 21 TICKS to dish out between all of the songs below.
