I used to feel like that too, but I knew there was an 'expressive gap' in some things which would allow me to play music you knew in my own way. The thing is that I tended to choose things which we capable of that type of expression. Rock music is pretty rote stuff and particularly so those tunes no one would even dream of covering. It will always reek of the original.
Having said that, this cover sounded pretty slavish. If you want an edifice to Why I Hate Genesis, look no further than Suppers Ready.

Doesn't anyone compose original music anymore?Don't get me wrong, I'm a major fan of Genesis and a lot of other bands I hear the group "covering", but to me music is a personal expression. I also never play the same music twice as I improvise 100% of the time.Not at all dismissing your efforts, in fact kudos to you all, I just express MY feeling regardless of how much I admire the work of others. I just don't care to copy them up to my maximun ability.Oh well to each their own.
