Genesis
One of the tallest spires in the prog cathedral, the music of Genesis is for many a transporting joy. Beginning with Nursery Cryme, the band settled into a sound that often reached sublime heights. Foxtrot, Selling England By The Pound and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway are staples in any prog rock portfolio. Following the departure of lead vocalist Peter Gabriel, Genesis went on a short hiatus before regrouping with drummer Phil Collins at the fore. A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering continued in the progressive vein, though the band streamlined their sound in the wake of guitarist Steve Hackett's departure. Since then, the remaining trio inched ever closer to commercial music, culminating in the multiplatinum Invisible Touch. The band's last album, Calling All Stations, was released in 1997 and featured Ray Wilson on vocals.
