About Genesis

Genesis gained prominence in the progressive rock scene of the 1970s with albums like “Foxtrot,” “Selling England by the Pound,” and “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.” They were known for their intricate compositions, complex arrangements, and theatrical live performances.

After Peter Gabriel’s departure in 1975, the band shifted towards a more pop-oriented sound in the 1980s, achieving commercial success with albums like “Duke” and “Invisible Touch.” Phil Collins took over as lead vocalist and continued to front the band through their most commercially successful period.

Moreover, Genesis is famous for their ability to blend different musical styles, from progressive rock to pop, and often incorporated elaborate storytelling in their lyrics. Because of this, they remain one of the best-selling and enduring bands in rock history.
