Godalming, Surrey, United Kingdom (1967 – 1998, 2006 – present)
Starting as an amalgam of two bands formed by schoolboys attending Charterhouse School in Godalming, England, the original lineup consisted of Peter 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 the end of 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 into 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. Following the tour promoting the album, frontman Peter Gabriel left the group in mid 1975.Genesis decided to continue on as a four-piece, producing two albums, “A Trick Of The Tail” and “Wind & Wuthering”, which found the band proving to themselves and to the world that they could move on after Gabriel’s departure.

Marovan12 I think it's because in the book American Psycho the main character talks about the 80s Genesis for one whole chapter.

Distrosity the fact that the 80s Genesis has most plays here is utter blasphemy.
