We Can't Dance - Genesis

Well, you may well be correct there, but it is my firm belief that 'We Can't Dance' embodies the best tracks Genesis have ever produced. But hold on! We're moving too fast! Let's take a few steps back, sit down with a cup of tea, and take it all it slowly… Genesis are a long-lived band, first founded in 1966 by school leavers Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Michael Rutherford and Anthony Phillips, who were joined by drummer Chris Stewart shortly afterwards. The group only became called Genesis in 1967 when fellow school leaver Jonathan King allowed the group to record in his studio, and develop their sound further.
