genesis

Two months after Genesis announced a new career-spanning documentary, the band is all set to drop some more news.

We've compiled 20 things you might not know about the prog-pioneers Genesis.

The guitarist does not think the upcoming documentary about Genesis will lead to a reunion.

Anthony Phillips is upset that the upcoming Genesis documentary has been billed as featuring the "original" line-up.

Although it's not the reunion tour that fans of progressive rock legends Genesis have been hoping for, the band just revealed that they have been working on a big new project together.

There's nothing stopping a full Genesis reunion, but guitarist Steve Hackett calls the prospect "improbable." The group still gets along and members bump into each other from time to time, but eventually talks of getting back together fizzle.

They had to succeed in balancing the pastoral whimsy of their first couple of albums with new rock pretensions.

Once upon a time, Phil Collins was just a drummer in a progressive rock 'n' roll band. Then, their lead singer (rhymes with "Geter Fabriel") went solo, and Phil got his shot.

A rare copy of Genesis' first single has sold for $3,850 on eBay after more than 20 bids. The band-written song 'The Silent Sun,' produced by Jonathan King, was released by Parrot Records in 1968.

How exactly did Genesis, progressive rock's defining band, manage to survive so much turmoil? The group weathered the loss of key members and a shifting musical landscape to produce '. . . And Then There Were Three . . .,' the 1978 album that introduced a leaner three-man lineup and helped them move from prog toward the poppier sound that would define their career in the '80s.
