Banda de Rock Progressivo surgida no final dos anos 60 que tinha em sua primeira formação Tony Banks (teclados), Peter Gabriel (vocal), Anthony Phillips (guitarra) e Mike Rutherford (baixo). Formada em Godalming, Reino Unido, gravaram o primeiro disco, o "From Genesis To Revelation", de 1969. De 1967 a 1970, houve a passagem de alguns bateristas pela banda, dentre eles Chris Stewart e John Silver.
Em 1970, no lançamento do segundo LP (Trespass), John Mayhew assumiu as baquetas, gravou o disco e logo foi substituido por Phill Collins.
