* RockOpera: "[[SuppersReady Supper's Ready]]," ''The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway'', and the suite from ''Duke'' (see "Concept Album" above) are the band's most extended forays into this trope, but they never really stopped doing it - see "Driving the Last Spike" and "Dreaming While You Sleep" on ''We Can't Dance'' for latter-day examples of mini-rock operas.

** To be more precise, ''Duke'' is half a concept album. It was actually originally intended to be divided into an A-side consisting of a suite of related tracks ("Behind the Lines," "Duchess," "Guide Vocal," "Turn It on Again," "Duke's Travels," "Duke's End") and a B-side of unrelated tracks. The band, after listening to this track order, decided it would leave the album with an unnecessarily weak B-side, and also decided they didn't want the A-side suite to be compared to "[[SuppersReady Supper's Ready]]", so they split it up. However, the suite of songs was often performed in its entirety live.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The band's huge hit "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" is about a drug addict trying to score. It was then used in a beer commercial, which could be interpreted as sending the message that beer drinkers were drug addicts (although I'm not sure whether that was intended on the band's part or not).

After fumbling to find a new direction, Genesis released ''Duke'', which marked the start of a new era as the they broke into the mainstream. The band gradually recreated itself as one of the most successful pop/rock bands of the era, performing to massive audiences, topping the charts several times and selling albums by the truckload. Most people were introduced to Genesis during this time and most likely remember at least the radio hit "Land of Confusion" from the album ''Invisible Touch''. Phil Collins also had a successful solo career which eventually led to him leaving Genesis in good terms in 1996 as he wanted more free time to work on his own projects. Unfortunately Genesis took a nosedive in quality following Collins' departure, only releasing one rather disappointing album and going on hiatus as the result.

Genesis has several distinct eras. The first [[strike:two]] album[[strike:s]] [[strike:have]] has Christian themes and have a more relaxed and poppy sound which might be jarring for fans who got interested in the band during their later years. The second era starts with the introduction of guitarist Steve Hackett and drummer Phil Collins into the band. The first album this new line up produced was ''Nursery Cryme'' as Genesis much like other British bands at the time dived head first into progressive rock. The albums made during this time are arguably the strongest, the band being at their peak of musical talent and creativity. [[YourMileageMayVary Opinions differ]] on whether the definitive album of this era is ''Foxtrot'', ''Selling England By The Pound'' or the enormous '' TheLambLiesDownOnBroadway''. In 1974 Peter Gabriel left Genesis over creative differences, and after two more albums, Steve Hackett also left, further reducing the quartet to a trio, with Phil Collins slowly taking the role of the FaceOfTheBand.
