I don't deny that I read far too much into things like that but I had studied loads of literature history and criticism.
So have I and I fail to see what those have to do with two vaguely similar album covers.

Yes, I didn't explain that properly. At the time Peter was inducted the HOF was probably on one of its periodic 'let's pretend we're hip' phases.

I have the same definition of 'defiant' as yours and yes, for me PC is showing a 'come and get me, I'm fighting back' stance, which does not exclude at all to be also a serious and contemplative one at the same time. What I wanted to say is that both Collins and Madge are gazing the same way.
They're both looking into the camera.
I think you are reading far too much into this. Before this topic was started I had never heard of the Madonna album. Does it worry me that it looks slightly similar to FV? No, it does not.
For what it is worth this is the quotation from Not Dead Yet about FV:
For the cover, I have the idea of seeing inside my head, right through the eye sockets. What is going on inside this person's mind? That, and not any egotistical reason, is why it's a close-up. And of course, it's black and white. That cover image in turns underlines an idea I've not had for the title: Face Value.

The Clash- London Calling and Elvis Presley's first album.
Yes - but wasn't that meant to be a 'tribute' and acknowedged as such?
What about Zappa's We're Only In It For The Money/Sgt Pepper? I think Zappa discussed it with McCartney before he released it.

It is totally a private enterprise, with no aspirations to serve anyone but themselves. That said, for the longest time they favoured American-based artists and artists that have had a big impact on the American music landscape. However, that bias has shifted in the past decade or so, hence the admission of artists such as Genesis, Yes, Rush, heck even The Cure. If anything, Phil has more mainstream acceptability in the U.S. than some of these other artists I mentioned. So I do expect that at some point he will get in.
But he was TOO mainstream, hence why Peter got in and he hasn't.

I meant a defiant look. Their faces were posing defiantly.
Phil looks serious, contemplative. You and I must have different definitions of the word 'defiant'. Defiant is saying 'come and get me, I'm fighting back'. Although he no doubt thought that when he was making the album, his face doesn't show that. I'm re-reading his book and all he says is he wanted people to see right into his eyes.

I mean, it is not very common to feature on the cover of an album the name of the singer handwritten on the singer's own forehead.
Besides, there are more similarities: a close-up, cut-out the same way, black and white photo, defiant pose...
I know there has been other copycats, but this is the brazenest one.
What do you mean by 'defiant pose'? They are closeups of their faces.

I'm aware of this group, although I haven't joined it. I hope it happens but I'm not holding my breath given the HOF's record.

I''m just pleased to hear of Tony's involvement in anything!

I've heard the album now and on one listen, I think the review from Genesis News seems fairly accurate.

I'd argue that's just being session musicians, much like the Eagles were, for Linda Ronstadt, and likely others.
You could start a separate topic for 'band members as session musos' e.g. all the Beatles are on the Ringo album, four out of five Eagles were on Warren Zevon's Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School, etc.

Neil & Tim Finn were in Crowded House together for one album but they made a couple of albums as a duo. I'm not sure that counts.
However, Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil has a new band called the Alter Egos, which includes his Oils guitarist Martin Rotsey. I'm not entirely sure if the Oils have split for good as yet.
What about whichever combination of Yes you might want to call a separate band. What was it... Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe?
Oh, and I suppose you can count Mark Knopfler & Guy Fletcher in the Notting Hillbillies.

I like CAS (although I struggled with it at first, especially the videos), and I like Ray's voice, musicianship & songwriting. The last album by him, The Weight Of Man, is really good as is the compilation Upon My Life. I follow him on Facebook and Instagram, and have a friend who goes to see him in Germany all the time (and she's not even that big a Genesis fan). I honestly think I prefer his work to the current Mechanics output, for instance.

Tony and Mike both repeatedly answered to questions on a 5-man lineup reunion: "People seem to forget we could only play songs from the Gabriel era."
How could we all miss this point - who would want to see a Genesis concert without I Can't Dance, Throwing It All Away, Hold On My Heart, etc.?
All I can say to that is when I saw Phil do Throwing It All Away it was one of the highlights of the night. I am well aware others feel differently.

"Firth Of Fifth"
"Mama"
"Los Endos"
"Land Of Confusion"
"Carpet Crawlers"
yes, no "Supper's Ready", which is among my favorites, but I rate other tracks higher. "Land Of Confusion" might be an odd choice but I think this track brought many new fans into diving deep into the history of the band and besides, it's a f**** awesome rock song.
Other tracks would be "The Dividing Line", "Watcher Of The Skies", The Musical Box", "Afterglow" and "Fading Lights"
LOC is not an odd choice at all. See my post on page 1.

Apologies re 'you can dance' mistake. But I honestly thought all Genesis were really saying with 'We Can't Dance' was to acknowledge that at their age they couldn't be expected to make that sort of music.
