The Genesis discography is a list of official studio and live albums released by the band Genesis. Genesis are a British progressive rock band comprising several artists including Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, Chester Thompson, Daryl Stuermer and previously including Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Anthony Phillips and John Mayhew, in various periods of their history. Genesis' first release From Genesis to Revelation, was released in March 1969 and reached its international peak of #170 on the United States' Billboard 200 albums chart.
