Genesis, formed in 1967 in Godalming, Surrey, England was one of the most popular progressive rock bands in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. During the 1970s Peter Gabriel was the lead singer, until he went solo and Phil Collins replaced him as lead singer.

Starting as an amalgam of two bands formed by schoolboys attending Charterhouse School in Godalming, England, the original lineup consisted of Gabriel, Anthony Phillips, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, and Chris Stewart, though Stewart was soon replaced as drummer by John Silver and then John Mayhew. By 1970, Phillips and Mayhew had left the band, with Collins joining as drummer, and by early 1971, guitarist Steve Hackett had filled the gap left by Phillips. The lineup of Gabriel, Banks, Hackett, Rutherford, and Collins remained in place until Gabriel’s departure in 1975.

During the period of 1970-1975, the band produced some of the most widely-acclaimed albums of the progressive rock era, including Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot (featuring the side-long epic “Supper’s Ready) and the seminal album Selling England by the Pound, which generated Genesis’ first foray onto the charts with

I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe). This lineup culminated with the band’s magnum opus The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway in 1974. Shortly thereafter, frontman Peter Gabriel left the group, followed by guitarist Steve Hackett in 1977.

With former drummer and back-up vocalist Collins taking over for Gabriel, Genesis became a trio that was quick to move away from the dying embers of progressive rock. They established themselves as a more commercially-friendly outfit with the dawn of their LP And Then There Were Three.
