Mike Rutherford - 76 anos

 

Michael John Cleote Crawford Rutherford (Guildford, 2 de outubro de 1950) é o baixista, guitarrista e compositor das bandas britânicas Genesis e Mike and the Mechanics. Ao lado do teclista Tony Banks, ele foi o único integrante dos Genesis que esteve em todas as formações do grupo.

Inicialmente atuando como baixista e fazendo coros nos Genesis, Rutherford também realizou várias execuções de viola acústica e guitarra rítmica da banda - frequentemente na guitarra de doze cordas, ou em seus vários modelos "double neck". As suas colaborações com os guitarristas Anthony Phillips e Steve Hackett marcaram a fase inicial da banda (entre 1967 e 1977). Após a saída de Hackett dos Genesis, em 1977, Rutherford assumiu o papel adicional de guitarrista principal nos álbuns de estúdio da banda (começando com And Then There Were Three em 1978). Rutherford foi um dos principais compositores dos Genesis ao longo da sua carreira e escreveu as letras de alguns dos maiores sucessos internacionais da banda, como "Follow You Follow Me", "Turn It On Again", "Land of Confusion" e "Throwing It All Away".

 

 

Em 2010, ele entrou para o Rock and Roll Hall of Fame como membro dos Genesis.
