"groupthink" in Genesis?

I can understand that many Prog musicians really were tired of playing the same old Prog songs tour after tour.They were bored. They needed a change. IMO, bands like Genesis and YES carried on playing together for more years after the 70s thanks to the innovations they did in their Prog styles. Maybe Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford  were very bored playing  "I Know What I Like" tour after tour. Musicians need to experiment with new styles to survive. If Phil Collins liked commercial music, it was his choice. Times change. Music changes, too. Musicians change too with age, and to survive in the also changing music markets.

	Avatar: Photo of Solar Eclipse, Mexico City, July 1991. A great experience to see. Maybe once in a lifetime.
