Sobre a banda: Assim como as principais bandas de rock progressivo Genesis surgiu nos anos 70, sendo sua fase inicial a mais importante para o gênero, marcada pela presença de Peter Gabriel e Steve Howe. Visto a característica pop (músicas comerciais) que a banda adota em certa fase, postarei apenas os albúns que são do gênero que aqui nos interessa. Se você já julga-se um fã de progressivo, você necessariamente tem que conhecer Genesis ou correrá um sério risco de perder o que há de melhor!
