That's splendid news.  Their induction is long overdue.  A shame they likely won't perform, but even to see them standing together with Peter again would be a treat.  Also cool to read Rutherford is working on a new Mike + The Mechanics album.

Good news indeed. I was vaguely approached about working with Ruthers on this new Mechanics album, but I didn't chase it up. Never meet your heroes and all that...

I reckon you could cobble an acceptable Genesis together out of Peter Gabriel, Chester Thompson and Daryl Steurmer.

You'd just need to add a keyboard player who knows all the songs inside-out.......

Oh, I don't know.  You were perfectly nice to meet!  

[Jem]

You old smoothy!

Actually the most recent Mechanics album (2004!) featured some slightly modern sounds so Jem might fit in better than it first appears .... not sure old Ruthers would go for the ProTools mashery though!
