About Genesis
Genesis formed in England in 1967 around school friends Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Anthony Phillips and Mike Rutherford. Phil Collins and Steve Hackett joined the early album lineup, whose long arrangements combined instrumental detail with theatrical storytelling. After Gabriel left in 1975, Collins became lead singer. The later Banks, Collins and Rutherford trio developed a more direct pop sound while retaining extended album pieces. Their group catalog spans both approaches, alongside the separate solo careers pursued by its members.
