Genesis

Genesis was a progressive rock band active for several decades before breaking up in 2007. They were greatly successful, with several certified albums. They had numerous hit singles, although these did not begin until the transition from a prog band into a pop band in the late seventies. In the eighties drummer Phil Collins replaced Peter Gabriel as frontman, which some dislike due to their continued shift toward pop and becoming a mainstream sellout band. When Genesis was inducted it was rumored that the connection to Collins was a major factor due to his connection with Disney.
