(Part 2)As for your claim on Phil Collins's lack of contribution, he did actually completely write two songs on Duke himself (Misunderstanding and Please Don't Ask). Currenly they're the only songs I'm certain about. Invisible Touché!

I think it's important I say this, because it seems like you claim quite some knowledge here. The only songs that were even just partially written by Anthony Phillips were The Musical Box and Fountain Of Salmacis, and even those hadn't been finished when he left. It's true that Hackett didn't contribute as much to the earlier albums, though, even After The Ordeal was going to be left off Selling England until Peter Gabriel complained.

And another fact for the anti-Collins people. Collins didn't contribute into the writing aspect of Genesis until Invisible Touch, which is the second last album. Until then, he only contributed instrumentation relative to the drum and percussive parts. So if you think Genesis is too poppy or sappy, keep in mind Rutherford and Bands wrote most of that music. And to me, songs like Home By the Sea, Domino, and Tonightx3, are songs that are very similar to earlier Genesis style music.

Who are the two young guitarists at the right and the left of Hackett

Guess what? With the except of the Lamb, during the Gabriel/Hackett era...they were recording and performing music that Anthony Phillips wrote. Anthony Philips left Genesis after Trespass, but a lot of the music on their albums from Nursery Crime to Selling England, Phillips was the main writer of most of those songs. Hackett will tell you himself that he didn't feel as though he had really contributed until Wind and Wuthering.

I love that song! Very eerie, very dark, great stuff!

I owned the CD years ago and liked it for some time, think you have to be in the right mood to hear it.
