For a microcosm of very particular fans, PG is primarily defined by what he did as part of Genesis, and his refusal to revisit that world causes endless heartburn.
For the rest of the world as well as for PG himself, his work past Genesis far exceeds what he did in those early years.
I like the old Genesis fine, but frankly I'm inclined to agree with PG. Songs like Family Snapshot, Intruder, Here Comes the Flood, Mercy Street, San Jacinto, and the Passion soundtrack are the work of a far more mature artist to my ears. It just isn't symphonic prog rock anymore, which is fine.
