Genesis had two distinct periods.  The first was the Progressive Rock version fronted by the eccentric Peter Gabriel.  The second was the hit making Pop/Rock machine that was taken over by Phil Collins’ vocals.  Either version could make a case for induction.  Combined, they should have been in years ago.
