thread_title:  Other releases 

message: I think it would be more accurate to split "official albums" into studio albums and live albums. This would make it easier to see how many albums of original material were released by the group. JamminBen 04:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Where the heck is "Abacab"?
Abacab! 
Aba freakin'  cab! Jack Meihoffer 02:48, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A bot had commented out the Abacab album because it believed that the front cover image of the album being used in Wikipedia did not qualify for use under the "fair use" guidelines.  I have addressed the issue. AreJay 03:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  As an added comment, there are four different cover versions to the original Abacab LP release, all legitimate, and all equally prevalent. Someone interested enough in that fact may want to work on the image entry to reflect this fact.Mpoloukhine 19:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing album. 

message: The official album title does not have an elipsis on the end of the title. Only  has one at the beginning. I don't know how, nor care to edit it myself, but maybe someone else does.

replies: text: Hmm, I know the 1994 remaster has an elipsis at the end as well.  If you can send me a link to an image of the front cover of the original album showing the elipsis only at the beginning of the title, I'll be happy to change the album text as well as make the necessary changes in the ATTWT article.  Thanks AreJay 02:51, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Maybe I was to hasty. It appears to be less clear than I initially thought. On many albums it is with both, while with others just the one. On many official listings it is with neither, and in some cases its with the one. I think in retrospect, the double is not "wrong" enough to change, it depends on one's definition of "official." I'll keep it on my back-burner of "things to sort out" and will post back if I find something more definitive. Thanks for the replyMpoloukhine 15:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  ... And Then There Were Three 

message: Is there a reason this is not included? 
The_Best..._Genesis
Someone has put it as the next album in the chronology section of The Lamb article MrMarmite (talk) 06:52, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I did googled "The Best...Genesis" and got  nothing.  Compilations and bootlegs exist, though I'm not sure articles need to be created for any of them if they aren't notable.  Also, the article doesn't cite any sources.  The closest match I found on the Genesis discography was "The Best of Genesis" released 1971/72.  No other information is available about the album.  I don't think it should be included in the main article.  Thanks AreJay (talk) 13:06, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  I Know What I Like 

message: Why is Throwing it all Away listed as the 2nd single from the 86 album? I know it was in the US, but it was 5th in the UK - their country of origin, which usually takes precedence in these matters. (If the act is US based then the article generally has American spelling and English if the band is from the UK, for instance). By the way, yes, I Know what I like did only reach 21. The vandals are out again. Seek - and kill!--82.0.207.86 (talk) 21:02, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the anon, this order is really confusing! Some sections have it in U.K. order, and others in U.S. order! I also put it back to #21, that's what I THOUGHT it was, but I for some odd reason didn't change it when I asked. I should've just been bold!. CarpetCrawler (talk) 21:29, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rock Theatre - was Missing 

message: Recent edits by 82.1.63.98 (talk expanded the musicians column to full names.  I think this change unduly elongates the table and detracts from the page's appearance.  Other editors are invited to comment here. Piriczki (talk) 12:41, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: With the exception of the entry for Genesis to Revelation, the table is the same size as previously. This is more than offset by the space saved by not having the key. And listing the musicians is more immediately useful to the reader than having to crossref with the key. 82.1.63.98 (talk) 13:27, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

text: BTW, you inadvertently reverted my change to the number of singles - it's 42, not 41 (I counted 'em). If you revert again, please at least keep this latter change. 82.1.63.98 (talk) 13:30, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

text: IMO, there is no reason for Brian Eno to be listed as one of the musicians who played on TLLDOB, as his contribution was nothing more than providing his equipment for Gabriel to use on his voice in The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging. MarkRae (talk) 18:03, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: And he's not credited in the sleeve notes, so I agree 82.1.63.98 (talk) 13:25, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I don't think it's necessary to subdivide the singles list according to the decade. After all, there are only three items in the 1969s, and in 2000 there are only one. Nor is it that they are many singles. --JoMaAl 312 (talk) 19:26, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Singles list 

message: I think Turn It On Again - The Hits (Tour Edition) should have a separate entry under compilation albums as it was a very different album to the 1999 release.
Music videos section should include Paperlate as it was included on the Video Show DVD as a separate video, even though it was just a Top Of The Pops edit.
Video Albums should include the latest releases:
Genesis:  Sum Of The Parts (2014) - (documentary) and Three Sides Live (2014) - remaster of the 1982 release
If we are including Knebworth '90 (1990) then there are VHS, DVD (2008) & BD (2015) releases of that under slightly different names at different times.
And as someone else mentioned, need to find a way to show the release history of the album remasters as they are more than just the old albumns copied onto newer media. Wiki strider (talk) 22:12, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
