Genesis discography
The discography of the English rock band Genesis contains 15 studio albums, six live albums, three compilation albums and 10 box sets. They have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, including about 21.5 million RIAA-certified albums in the United States
Genesis were formed by lead singer Peter Gabriel, keyboardist Tony Banks, bassist / guitarist Mike Rutherford, guitarist Anthony Phillips and drummer Chris Stewart at the Charterhouse School, where they drew on contemporary pop, soul, classical and church music influences to write their own songs. They attracted the interest of former pupil Jonathan King, who signed them to a contract in 1967. Following the failure of the first few singles, and an album, From Genesis to Revelation, the group split from King in 1969, signing with Charisma Records the following year. From then to 1974, Genesis released a studio album around once a year. After several line-up changes, the band stabilised in 1971 after drummer Phil Collins and guitarist Steve Hackett joined Gabriel, Banks and Rutherford. The group established commercial success in the UK with Foxtrot and Selling England by the Pound, with the latter charting at No. 3 and producing their first hit single, "I Know What I Like ".
Genesis survived Gabriel's departure in 1975, with Collins taking over as lead singer, releasing the top three album A Trick of the Tail the following year. Hackett left in 1977, reducing the group to a trio of Banks, Rutherford and Collins. They became more commercially successful and began to have further hit singles, with "Follow You Follow Me" their first UK top ten hit and first US top 40 hit. Beginning with Duke, they had five consecutive studio albums which topped the UK charts, reaching a peak with Invisible Touch and We Can't Dance. After Collins left in 1996, the band released one more album, Calling All Stations, before disbanding. The trio lineup reformed for Turn It On Again: The Tour in 2007 and a farewell tour, The Last Domino? Tour, from 2021 to 2022.
All of the group's work since signing to Charisma was remastered and re-released and is available on various compilation albums such as Turn It On Again: The Hits and Platinum Collection. The sole exception is pre-Charisma album From Genesis to Revelation, whose copyright is owned by King and has been reissued several times independently of the rest of the band's releases.
