"Genesis is a strange band... they were privileged but brutalised": Steve Hackett remains "very proud" of his six years with Genesis, but has no regrets about leaving

Genesis in 1976.

Steve Hackett says he has no regrets about walking away from Genesis in 1977, and admits that while he's "very proud" of everything the prog rock stars achieved during his time as their guitarist, he views them as "a strange band".

Hackett played on some of Genesis' most-acclaimed albums, making his recording debut with the band on 1971's Nursery Cryme, and subsequently writing and playing on Foxtrot (1972), Selling England by the Pound (1973), The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974), A Trick Of The Tail (1976) and Wind & Wuthering (also 1976), before walking away to focus on a solo career.
