No no no no no. You can't just say Genesis is Progrock. Genesis with Peter 
Gabriel is ProgRock. Phil Collins might at first have been Prog, but for the 
moment he definately ISN'T.
I guess it is time for me to admit that Pink Floyd after Roger Waters isn't 
ProgRock either. Anymore. Yet. (If things continue like High Hopes, there's 
still Hope :)
After a split, every part of the original band has to re-establish its 
proginess. Collins chose for Pop.
And another thing: being covered by a Prog artist doesn't make you prog. I 
even think that if any artist covers a song, he can no longer be considered 
Prog. Unless it was a Prog song he covered, or if he changed it enough to 
make it a Prog song.
