Genesis grew from a group of school friends at Charterhouse in Surrey into one of the most influential and commercially successful British rock bands of the twentieth century. Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Anthony Phillips, and early drummer Chris Stewart established the group’s foundations in the late 1960s. Their debut album, From Genesis to Revelation, appeared in 1969, but it was through albums such as Trespass, Nursery Cryme, and Foxtrot that the band developed its intricate progressive rock identity. Long compositions, theatrical storytelling, unusual rhythms, and ambitious arrangements became central to its music.

The classic five-piece lineup with Gabriel, Banks, Rutherford, guitarist Steve Hackett, and drummer Phil Collins reached a creative peak with Selling England by the Pound in 1973 and the double concept album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway in 1974. After Gabriel departed, Collins assumed lead vocals, beginning another acclaimed period with A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering in 1976. Hackett left in 1977, leaving Banks, Collins, and Rutherford to carry Genesis into a new decade while preserving much of the band’s instrumental sophistication.

During the 1980s, Genesis moved increasingly toward concise, radio-friendly songwriting without entirely abandoning its progressive roots. Duke, Abacab, Genesis, and Invisible Touch produced songs including “Turn It on Again,” “Mama,” “That’s All,” “Invisible Touch,” and “Land of Confusion.” The group continued its worldwide success with We Can’t Dance in 1991. Following Collins’s departure, Ray Wilson became lead singer for Calling All Stations in 1997, the band’s fifteenth and final studio album.

Genesis’s catalog extends far beyond its studio albums. The early Decca singles, the Spot the Pigeon and 3×3 EPs, numerous non-album B-sides, and the Archive collections contain recordings that are easy to overlook in a standard discography. Later official releases brought out unreleased early demos, BBC performances, and unusual live arrangements. A newly expanded edition of From Genesis to Revelation in 2026 added further historically important early recordings.

The following A-to-Z catalog includes the group’s original album tracks, instrumentals, qualifying singles and EP songs, archival-only compositions, significant distinct studio versions, and a limited number of separately titled official live recordings. It does not repeat every concert performance, remaster, or ordinary remix of a song already represented. Solo albums by Gabriel, Collins, Hackett, Banks, Rutherford, and Mike + the Mechanics are outside the Genesis recording catalog.
