Congratulations to the 2010 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Genesis. Almost no group in rock history has had such a long and varied career as Genesis, who began as a cult art-rock band in England in the late 1960s and went on to pack stadiums across the globe in the 1980s and 1990s. In the early 1970s frontman Peter Gabriel shocked audiences and grabbed headlines by taking the stages in outrageous costumes. Their music was equally innovative, and early albums Selling England By The Pound and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway are two of the most acclaimed prog-rock albums in the history of the genre. In 1975 Gabriel left the band to pursue a solo career and drummer Phil Collins stepped out from behind the kit to take over. The band experienced many more hits and successful worldwide tours over the next 30 years.

Peter Gabriel in Genesis.
Know your Genesis history:
Foxtrot, 1972, amazing album. “Supper’s Ready” is one of the best prog tunes of all time.
Well…now I know.

Congratulations to the 2010 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Jimmy Cliff. The Harder They Come introduced reggae to a worldwide audience and changed the image of reggae from cruise ship soundtrack to music of rebellion and inspiration. “Sitting in Limbo,” “The Harder They Come,” “You Can Get It If You Really Want,” and “Many Rivers to Cross” made Jimmy Cliff internationally beloved and the movie soundtrack a best seller. A beautifully gifted singer and a uniquely influential songwriter, Jimmy Cliff has made a profound impact on music for over 40 years.
