I'm sure that the die hard Gabriel fans have heard and/or own
his German recordings.

I don't completely agree with people who say Genesis is garbage
after Gabriel.  "Trick of the Tail" and "Wind and Weathering"
are two very good albums with good music and lyrics.
But I've got to admit that everything after that is refuse.

As to other ex-Genesis members, there are at least two who
are making a name for themselves.

Firstly there is Anthony Phillips who has put out some very
interesting solo work but has only a small cult following.
(Phillips left after "Trespass")

Also there is Steve Hackett who replaced Phillips but later
left after "Wind and ..".

Back to Gabriel. He wrote a long epic rock story with a central
character named "Mozo" (check "On the Air" PG II).  Some of those
songs appear on his solo albums.  Thus its understandable if 
a common theme and story run through his albums.
