About
Genesis, From Godalming prog roots to global rock milestones.
Genesis began as a progressive rock band featuring key members Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Phil Collins, Tony Banks, and Mike Rutherford. Their early albums like Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot showcase complex song structures and elaborate instrumentation. Later eras embraced a more accessible pop-rock style, seen on albums like Abacab (1981) and Invisible Touch (1986), where tighter production and synth usage emerged. The group’s discography spans over three decades with 39 vinyl editions available on Vinyles.com. Collectors can find original pressings from the UK, Greece, and elsewhere, plus numerous reissues with varied packaging and sound quality.
The band retired officially in 2022 but their influence remains across progressive and rock genres.
