Lately I have decided to fully regress to my 8th grade self -- reading "Conan of Cimmeria" (all of the early, real R.E. Howard Conan stories in one volume (of three total)) while listening to Genesis (esp. abacab and turn it on).

i have to disagree, abacab was their masterpiece, it not only showed their full growth but they clicked as a group like they never would again. also, mike rutherford had a solo album also with one release off it, some chick's name if i remember correctly, anyone know the song by chance?

From the Wikipedia article on the song Abacab...
The title is taken from the structure of an early version of the song. Guitarist Mike Rutherford explained in an interview that the band labeled various sections of the song with letters of the alphabet, and at one point the sections were ordered A-B-A-C-A-B. Rutherford commented that the completed song no longer followed this format, but the name was kept nevertheless.
