Marillion and Big Big Train are known for being very Genesis-inspired,
maybe check out some of their stuff. I'm not too familiar with either
band personally, but I'm a fan of this BBT song for its Genesis-esque
vibe: |

I can't understand why their weren't any band that would imitate that style... I only know a French band which was very influenced by Genesis (they do the same music but with lesser quality and its in French).

All I can think of is other Genesis songs written by Peter Gabriel, and they've all already been listed, so here's a cool pic of Peter Gabriel instead:

sometimes think Jethro Tull songs remind me of Epping---especially Thick as a Brick.

Fox Hill - By Camel, like nothing they’ve ever done, seemed weird to me at first but it’s clicked and it’s one of my favorite tracks

The Colony of Slippermen should also be mentioned, though it is just a part of a greater story.

Side 2 of the awesome 1978 eponymous release by Floridian band BABYLON has that "Epping Forest" feel. Both "Dreamfish" and "Cathedral of Mary Ruin."

Everything is in the title. I would like to know more songs in this style of this song by Genesis (same story telling, same musical dimension, etc...).
Thank you for your future answers. |
