What are the best genesis-like albums and bands that are not by genesis
themselves? I like Martigan, K2, The Watch, Big Big Train, and Sounds of Contact.

If you were doing this as a poll, I'd vote for Big Big Train. Three of my new discoveries from this year that may or may not be Gensisie enough for you - Perfert Beings, Dream The Electric Sleep, Anubis...
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Yeah well Genesis aren't recording anymore so we will have to settle with second rate copies unless the original five members of Genesis reunites to record again.

Obviously, it's difficult to shake the influences of say Genesis or Pink Floyd, but Marillion did it, so I'm optimistic about future bands, but, with this said, I would prefer to listen to Genesis or Pink Floyd rather than some carbon copy.

Very early IQ much like a lot of early neo owed a great deal to Genesis.
Tales From The Lush Attic = early Genesis
The Wake = late seventies Genesis (but with a much darker edge which is why its so brilliant imo)
Of modern bands certainly Big Big Train have nailed it although they move seamlessly in and out of the Genesis sound. English Electric could be Genesis in places but on the whole its a decent original work.

I'm not a fan of Marillion's Script (I prefer Fugazi and Clutching), but I'd wager it's one of the first albums people refer to when they think "Genesis-like."
