By The End Of 1970 Phillips And Mayhew Had Left The Band With Collins Joining As Drummer And By Early 1971 Guitarist Steve Hackett Had Filled The Gap Left By Phillips. The Lineup Of Gabriel Banks Hackett Rutherford And Collins Remained In Place Until Gabriel's Departure In 1975. During The Period Of 1970-1975 The Band Produced Some Of The Most Widely-Acclaimed Albums Of The Progressive Rock Era Including "Nursery Cryme" "Foxtrot" featuring The Side-Long Epic "Supper's Ready" And The Seminal Album "Selling England By The Pound" Which Generated Genesis' First Foray Into The Charts With "I Know What I Like In Your Wardrobe ". This Lineup Culminated With The Band's Magnum Opus "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" In 1974. Following The Tour Promoting The Album Frontman Peter Gabriel Left The Group In Mid 1975. Genesis Decided To Continue On As A Four-Piece Producing Two Albums "A Trick Of The Tail" And "Wind & Wuthering" Which Found The Band Proving To Themselves And To The World That They Could Move On After Gabriel's Departure. Collins Stepped Up To Fill The Role Of Lead Vocalist After Countless Auditions For A New Singer Proved Fruitless By The Completion Of Recording For "A Trick Of The Tail". Hackett Quietly Departed After The "Wind & Wuthering" Tour In 1977 Feeling That His Creative Input For The Band Was Being Repressed. In 1978 Tony Banks And Mike Rutherford Contributed Music To A British Movie Called "The Shout" Based On A Short Story By Robert Graves Directed By Jerzy Skomilowski And Produced By Jeremy Thomas.
