Genesis

Genesis are an English rock band formed at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey, in 1967. The band's most commercially successful line-up included keyboardist Tony Banks, bassist / guitarist Mike Rutherford, and drummer / vocalist Phil Collins. In the past it has also included vocalist Peter Gabriel and guitarists Steve Hackett and Anthony Phillips. While their early material is known as a mixture of folk music and progressive rock their later recordings are more radio-friendly and incorporate elements of pop music, while retaining some progressive rock elements.
== A Concise History (Under Construction) ==
At the outset of their career, Genesis consisted of the leftovers of two garage bands formed at the aforementioned Charterhouse School.
