A Beginners Guide to Genesis
Original published on Cracked.com in July 2010 (http://www.cracked.com/funny-5797-genesis/) and written by Mike Zed. This tongue-in-cheek article is no longer available on cracked. Apparently, for some reason, when it comes to information on Phil Collins and everything musically related, Cracked abruptly turns into a vehement 4Chan doppelganger. So, here’s your Genesis article. Hate mail welcome. Just The Facts Genesis is likely the only band, that’s overrated and underrated at the same time. Since it took, like, half an hour for “Jesus…
