Genesis Family Tree Timeline Project

[carlmarx38]

     I am new to this site, so I hope this is an appropriate place to post this !

     I have taken up a project which I hope will be useful to fans of Genesis
     and it's former members. It is a spreadsheet which goes through Genesis'
     history month-by-month, listing every known release from the entire Genesis
     Family Tree, in exact chronological order !! I actually got the idea in part, from
     this web-site, because in most cases the release dates on here are listed
     by both year AND month.

        The project is still in its infancy, although I have progressed far enough to
     list most of the main studio albums and live albums by Genesis and each of
     the 5 core members (excluding Anthony Phillips for now, until I get more
     info). In the case of singles, for now I am only listing singles which contain
      new or previously unreleased material (either studio OR live). Also other
      sources, such as movie soundtracks and tribute albums, are also listed.
       (which in the case of Peter Gabriel is proving to be quite a daunting task !)

           The entire thing is currently on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, so the
       question is, how can I post it on here or another site, where it can be viewed
       and scrutinized by other fans ?

           Please post any feedback or ideas you have, either on here, or feel free to
         e-mail me at carlmarx38@yahoo.com. It's possible that someone else has
         already done a timeline thing like this......if so, please let me know where !!


                         cheers,

                                carl c.

   Someone told me off-site that they think i can just "cut and paste" the Timeline directly
  from Microsoft Excel onto this post, so here goes........since it's so long though, i will just
  paste the 10-year period beginning with the first solo album, "Voyage of the Acolyte":

     well, it pasted the whole thing ! anyway, let me know what you think. my main goal now is
     to correct errors in actual release dates, and add new items that are missing. In some cases,
     i have had to give my "best guess". For instance, "MOMENTUM", by Steve Hackett, which I
     couldn't find a precise release date other than knowing it came out sometime in 1988.
       

     cheers,

CC,

Interesting project.  If you really want a high level of detail, I have to think Simon at http://www.genesis-movement.org/ has more detail than you could imagine. How he has it databased I don't know.

As far as subjecting it to peer review, sooner than post it here in hundreds of posts, I could upload it to my site server and you let people know about the link.

Email me if you want to get into it, I'm more likely to respond immediately to the email, I don't stop by here as often as I used to as traffic has slowed down here since the tour ended.

[carlmarx38]

    sure, if you'd like to post thre Timeline, that's fine with me. i'm continuing to find things i'm missing, and the list has
    changed since i posted it on here. if you would like the current version, e-mail me at carlmarx38@***,
     and i'll send an updated copy. also, i have a profile page at geneslive.ning.com, where i have it posted.

Very interesting! - I'm quite good with dates and remember a lot of these together with what was in the charts at the time!
