The leap from classic rock to classical music is not exactly a big stretch for Tony Banks.

To Genesis fans, 2017 is a milestone year for two reasons. First, it was 40 years ago that the British prog rock legends released their eighth studio album Wind & Wuthering (the second one to feature Phil Collins on lead vocals after Peter Gabriel‘s departure), as well as the double-live record Seconds Out.

Peter Gabriel's longtime bassist, Tony Levin, recalls working on the 1977 album.

British rockers Genesis could reunite now that Phil Collins has come out of retirement.

To mark the 40th anniversary of the release of Peter's debut solo album, we've created this new video for Solsbury Hill, the first single to be taken from the album and a firm live favourite through the years.

An album featuring recently discovered Genesis tracks from the 1960s has been released under the guidance of Jonathan King.

Peter Gabriel‘s long-awaited fourth self-titled album – later retitled Security before its Sept. 5, 1982, U.S. release – began with the rhythm.

"Like the story that we wish was never ending/ We know sometime we must reach that final page/ And still we carry on just pretending/ That there’ll always be just one more day to go" –Genesis, "Fading Lights" (1991)

After more than 400 audition tapes, Genesis realized that they had a replacement for departed singer Peter Gabriel already among their ranks. But Phil Collins‘ ascension didn’t guarantee anything for the group — not in creative or commercial terms.

1986 was a pretty damn good year for music artist Peter Gabriel. After almost a decade and a half of music biz shenanigans (including a stint as Genesis frontman and a few solo hit singles), the singer scored a worldwide smash with his album, So.
