Genesis enter Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in New York

BRITISH progressive rockers turned 1980s pop stars Genesis have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, joined by two other acts that thrived in second lives — Abba and The Hollies.

Genesis was inducted by Trey Anastasio of Phish, whose band paid tribute to both incarnations of Genesis by performing Watcher of the Skies and No Reply at All.

The new inductees were missing Peter Gabriel, the theatrical lead singer whose departure was the dividing line between the band’s two styles.
