To Genesis fans, 2017 is a milestone year for two reasons.

Peter Gabriel is a well-respected musician, artist, and performer who was the lead singer in 70s prog giants Genesis before carving a name for himself as a solo artist. He has released multiple superb records including his self-titled records, So, Us, and Up.
