Дальнейший творческий путь Стива Хакетта хоть и не был усеян розами, но качество его музыки оставалось постоянным. В последующие годы он основал собственную студию вместе со своей женой, художницей Ким Пур, оформлявшей многие из его альбомов. Диски "Spectral Mornings", "Please Don't Touch" и "Defector" представляют собой красивейший прог с изумительной гитарой. Вряд ли можно назвать шедеврами "Cured", "Highly Strung" и "Till We Have Faces", хотя последний довольно любопытен своими латиноамериканскими элементами. "Bay of Kings" и "Momentum" напоминают о его классическом гитарном образовании: в этих альбомах акустической гитаре отведена главная роль.

Активная работа в группе Genesis не мешает Майку задумываться о сольной карьере, и, следуя примеру своего коллеги по группе, Фила Коллинза, который уже добился всемирного признания, побывав в верхних строчках хит-парадов мира, Майк и его «механики» также успешно продвигаются к вершинам мировых музыкальных чартов. Сольная карьера Майка показала, что он способен самостоятельно добиться успеха. Музыкальный жанр, в котором работают Mike and the Mechanics, скорее относится к софт-року, нежели к арт-року, к которому тяготеют Genesis. Поскольку звездная карьера Майка начиналась в атмосфере арт-рока, в его сольном творчестве также можно проследить черты этого жанра. В основном составе группы в разные годы работали Майк Резерфорд, Пол Кэррак и Пол Янг (бывший участник группы Sad Café), Эдриан Ли (клавишные) и Питер Ван Хууке (ударные). Гитарные партии на некоторых студийных работах группы исполнял Алан Мерфи.

В 1989 году Тони, последовав примеру Рутерфорда, организовавшего успешный проект "Mike & The Mechanics", попытался скрыться за вывеской "Bankstatement" и сделал свои композиции более радиодружественными. Как ни странно, но затея потерпела крах, и Бэнкса попросили с "Atlantic Records".

Wind & Wuthering is the eighth studio album by English progressive rock band Genesis. It was released on 17 December 1976 on Charisma Records and is their last studio album to feature guitarist Steve Hackett. Following the success of their 1976 tour to support their previous album A Trick of the Tail, the group relocated to Hilvarenbeek in the Netherlands to record a follow-up album, their first recorded outside the UK. Writing and recording caused internal friction, for Hackett felt some of his contributions were dropped in favour of material by keyboardist Tony Banks.

We Can’t Dance (englisch für „Wir können nicht tanzen“) ist das 14. Studioalbum der britischen Rockband Genesis. Das im November 1991 veröffentlichte Werk ist das letzte Studioalbum der Gruppe, welches mit dem Sänger Phil Collins aufgenommen wurde, der fünf Jahre später die Band verließ und für das Album … Calling All Stations … (1997) durch Ray Wilson ersetzt wurde. Collins kehrte zwar 2006 zu Genesis zurück, jedoch ohne neues Material aufzunehmen.

Trespass is the second studio album by the English rock band Genesis. It was released in October 1970 on Charisma Records, and is their last album with guitarist Anthony Phillips and their only one with drummer John Mayhew.
Genesis turned professional in autumn 1969, and began to rehearse intensely and play live shows. After several months of touring they secured a recording contract with Charisma Records, and entered Trident Studios in London in July 1970 to record Trespass. The music marked a departure from more pop-oriented songs, as displayed on their first album From Genesis to Revelation, towards folk-flavoured progressive rock. This ranged from light acoustic pieces with multiple twelve-string guitars, to the heavier live favourite "The Knife". The sleeve, featuring a knife slash across the front, was the first of several to be designed by Paul Whitehead.

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is the sixth studio album by the English progressive rock band Genesis. It was released as a double album on 18 November 1974 by Charisma Records and is their last to feature original frontman Peter Gabriel. It peaked at No. 10 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 41 on the Billboard 200 in the US.
While the band worked on new material at Hedley Grange for three months, they decided to produce a concept album with a story devised by Gabriel about Rael, a Puerto Rican youth from New York City who is suddenly taken on a journey of self-discovery and encounters bizarre incidents and characters along the way. The album was marked by increased tensions within the band as Gabriel, who insisted on writing all of the lyrics, temporarily left to work with filmmaker William Friedkin and needed time to be with his family. Most of the songs were developed by the rest of the band through jam sessions and were put down at Glaspant Manor in Wales using a mobile studio.

Selling England by the Pound is the fifth studio album by the English progressive rock band Genesis, released in October 1973 on Charisma Records. It reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 70 in the U.S. A single from the album, "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)", was released in February 1974 and became the band's first top 30 hit in the UK.
The album was recorded in August 1973 following the tour supporting the previous album, Foxtrot (1972). The group set aside a short period of time to write new material, which covered a number of themes, including the loss of English folk culture and an increased American influence, which was reflected in the title. Following the album's release, the group set out on tour, where they drew an enthusiastic reception from fans.

Seconds Out — второй концертный альбом британской прогрок-группы Genesis, выпущенный 21 октября 1977 года. Альбом двойной, то есть включает в себя два однотипных звуковых носителя (пластинки или компакт-диски). Он достиг 4-й позиции в британском хит-параде и продержался в чартах 17 недель. Музыкальный материал альбома был записан в Париже в 1976 и 1977 годах во время концертного тура Genesis в поддержку их ранее изданных альбомов A Trick of the Tail и Wind & Wuthering.

Nursery Cryme is the third studio album by the English rock band Genesis, released in November 1971 on Charisma Records. It was their first to feature drummer/vocalist Phil Collins and guitarist Steve Hackett. The album received a mixed response from critics and was not initially a commercial success; it did not enter the UK chart until 1974, when it reached its peak at No. 39. However, the album was successful in Continental Europe, particularly Italy. At approximately 39 minutes long, it is the shortest studio album by the band to date.

Invisible Touch is the 13th studio album by the English rock band Genesis, released on 6 June 1986 by Atlantic Records in the United States and 9 June 1986 by Charisma and Virgin Records in the United Kingdom. After taking a break in group activity for each member to continue with their solo projects in 1984, the band reconvened in October 1985 to write and record Invisible Touch with engineer and producer Hugh Padgham. As with their previous album, it was written entirely through group improvisations and no material developed prior to recording was used.

From Genesis to Revelation is the debut studio album by the English rock band Genesis, released in March 1969 on Decca Records. The album originated from a collection of demos recorded in 1967 while the members of Genesis were pupils of Charterhouse in Godalming, Surrey. It caught the attention of Jonathan King who named the group, organised deals with his publishing company and Decca, and studio time at Regent Sound Studios to record a series of singles and a full album. A string section arranged and conducted by Arthur Greenslade was added later on some songs. By the time Genesis had finished recording, John Silver had replaced original drummer Chris Stewart.

Foxtrot is the fourth studio album by the English progressive rock band Genesis, released in October 1972 on Charisma Records. It features their longest recorded song; the 23-minute epic "Supper's Ready".
The album was recorded following the tour in support of their previous album, Nursery Cryme (1971), which saw them gain popularity, including a well-received slot at the Lincoln Great Western Festival. The album was written over the summer of 1972 and combined songs that had already been performed live with new material worked out in jam sessions. Recording began in August with John Anthony, but sessions were prone to tension and disagreements. After a short Italian tour, sessions resumed with Dave Hitchcock taking over production duties. The cover was the final Genesis work to be designed by Paul Whitehead, featuring a fox wearing a red dress. Frontman Peter Gabriel wore the dress and a fox's head on stage for the following tour, which gathered press attention and greatly improved the group's profile.

Duke is the tenth studio album by English rock band Genesis, released in March 1980 on Charisma Records. The album followed a period of inactivity for the band in early 1979. Phil Collins moved to Vancouver, Canada, in an effort to salvage his failing first marriage, while Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford recorded solo albums. Collins returned to the UK after his marriage ended and wrote a significant amount of material, some of which was used for Duke and some was later reworked for his first solo album, Face Value. Duke contained a mix of individually-written songs and tracks that evolved from jam sessions in mid-1979, while recording took place at the end of the year. The break in activity rejuvenated the band, and they found the album an easy one to work on.

Calling All Stations is the fifteenth and most recent studio album by English rock band Genesis, released on 1 September 1997 by Virgin Records. After longtime drummer and lead vocalist Phil Collins left the group in 1996, the remaining members—founding keyboardist Tony Banks and guitarist/bassist Mike Rutherford—decided to continue and write new music for an album. After an auditioning process throughout 1996, they chose Scottish singer Ray Wilson as Genesis's new lead singer.
