For more than a half-century, Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Genesis have defied the odds, rising to become one of the worlds best-selling bands amid personnel shake-ups, shifting styles, and changing times. Formed in 1967 by four classmates in Surry, England (vocalist Peter Gabriel, keyboardist Tony Banks, lead guitarist Anthony Phillips, and bassist/rhythm guitarist Mike Rutherford), Genesis established themselves as one of prog-rocks most innovative acts, thanks to critically acclaimed albums like Selling England by the Pound (1973), and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974). With the departure of Gabriel in 1975, drummer Phil Collins took over as frontman, leading the group into an era of unprecedented success, beginning with 1976s A Trick of the Tail and Wind & the Wuthering. By the turn of the decade, Genesis had transformed into a tightly-knit trio, embracing a pop aesthetic with the albums And Then There Were Three(1978) and Duke (1980), as well as in hits like Follow You Follow Me and Misunderstanding.

The 80s found each band member embarking on successful solo careers a fact that only solidified their collective songwriting prowess. With their expansive, synth-based hooks and reverb-heavy drums, Genesis set the tone for the decade, dominating global charts with Abacab (1981), Genesis (1983), and Invisible Touch (1986) and conquering the Billboard charts with a string of hits, including Thats All, Tonight, Tonight, Tonight, Land of Confusion and the US No.1, Invisible Touch. In 1991, We Cant Dance (featuring No Son of Mine, Hold on My Heart, and the GRAMMY-nominated I Cant Dance) marked Collins final studio album with the band. While Banks and Rutherford announced the bands retirement from the stage and studio in 2000, all three members continued to reunite sporadically most recently for 2021s The Last Domino? Tour.
