| Genesis | Peter Gabriel | Peter's career wasn't really going all that well, commercially, until the release of his solo album 'So'. Genesis did better with Phil Collins, who has now also gone solo -- except Collins basically sold out. - Eric | ||
| Genesis | Peter Gabriel | The singer who left before Phil Collins got the gig. - Michael E Cormier | ||
| Genesis | Mike Rutherford | Found side success in 1985 with Mike + the Mechanics, but in 1982, as a solo artist, released an album called 'Acting Very Strange' that produced a Top 40 hit in Canada called 'Maxine' - whistledog | ||
| Genesis | Phil Collins | He did pretty good for awhile after he left Genesis (better than they did without him). His last few albums are pretty bad though. - ChuckyG | ||
| Genesis | Steve Hackett | The lead guitarist ("Nursery Crime" to "Seconds Out"). Hacket went on to make better Genesis albums than Genesis (Just compare "Duke" with "Spectral Mornings" and you'll smell what I'm cooking. - royal pfizbin | ||
| Gong | Steve Hillage | A perfect example of how much fun you could have in the "70's if you managed to disengage yourself from the un-workable concept of the "Hippy with a vision". (Attn Ozric Tentacles fans! This is your heritage calling!) - princejellyfish | ||
| Guns N Roses | Slash | Getting the hell away from Axl has allowed him to grow--sort of--as an artist. - Agrimorfee |
