* HeyItsThatPlace: The video for the Phil Collins solo hit "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRY1NG1P_kw Take Me Home]]" is the absolute embodiment of this trope.
** The video for "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" from ''Invisible Touch'' was shot at the Bradbury Building.
* Creator/{{Hipgnosis}}: Designed several of their album covers.
* OneOfUs: Phil Collins is a self-confessed video game fan and even [[PromotedFanboy played himself]] in ''GrandTheftAutoViceCityStories'', Tony Banks is a fan of ''TheLordOfTheRings'', and Mike Rutherford referenced ''Series/DoctorWho'' in ''[[TheDocumentary Come Rain Or Shine]]''.
** Phil's [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2297368/filmoseries#tt0056751 mother worked on]] ''Series/DoctorWho''.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Celebrated indie songwriter/musician Kevin Gilbert, who had much respect and love for the "classic" Genesis ([[MomentOfAwesome he performed the entire "Lamb Lies Down" album live on stage]]), was invited to an audition to replace Phil Collins in 1996. Unfortunately, he (Gilbert, not Collins) had died just a few weeks earlier. There's not telling what a talent like Gilbert could've done to invigorate the band. 
** Genesis were suggesting writing a concept album based on Antoine De Saint-Exupery's TheLittlePrince as a follow-up to ''Selling England''. Gabriel opted for an [[DarkerAndEdgier edgier]], more Americanized concept album instead (''The Lamb'').
** Casual considerations to replace Steve Hackett as guitarist in 1978 were rumored to include Jeff Beck, [[KingCrimson Robert Fripp]] and Music/SteelyDan veteran Elliott Randall. It was later agreed to keep it a three-piece in the studio.
** Among the people being considered to replace Phil Collins as lead singer was [[{{Marillion}} Fish]], who had previously done vocals for some of Tony Banks' solo material. "Generillion" might very well have been really awesome.
