Love them or hate them, this band is nothing if not multi-faceted. Original vocalist Peter Gabriel began to innovatively flex his lyrical and performance muscle on such early '70s albums as <i>Foxtrot</i> and <i>Selling England by the Pound</i>. In concert, allegedly to combat shyness, he would wear masks and make-up, use props, and tell stories. Gabriel ended his relationship with the band in 1975, following the release of the incredibly ambitious double album <I>The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway</I>. When drummer Phil Collins took over vocal duties, Genesis grew to be one of the biggest-selling acts of the '80s, slowly shifting away from art rock and toward highly-produced, pop-oriented fare designed for mass consumption. Genesis still march on today with another singer in tow (Ray Wilson) and compilation releases of rarities and previously unavailable material. - Will LernerArt & Progressive Rocken720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:08:37 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.43290&rws=%2Fgenesis%2Fmusic-videos.rss The continual evolution of Genesis helps distinguish them from their Prog Rock contemporaries.
