The Dust That Settles All Around Me 

You can still vote for the following polls whenever you want if you haven't voted yet by dropping me a note at dmtaylor@oocities.com, and letting me know which poll you're voting for. The results are being being archived right at this very spot, for future reference and/or additions.

For December's poll I asked a few of the basic questions, dealing with the stuff that got us into Genesis in the first place, and put that info up against our all-time favorites.  The questions and results:

1) What is the first song you can remember hearing by Genesis?
2) What is the first Genesis album you ever bought or listened to over and over (if any)?
3) Do you consider yourself to be a big fan of Genesis, or just a casual listener?
4) How many times have you seen Genesis in concert?
5) How old were you when you first got into Genesis?
6) How old are you now (don't worry, your confidentiality is protected)?
7) What is your favorite Genesis era right now (if you have a favorite)? (Personally, I consider these to be broken down like 1967-1969, 1970-1976, 1976-1980, 1981-1993, 1997-now, but I'll let you vote for your own era timeframes and not argue with you.)
