Banks co-founded Genesis in 1967 while studying at Charterhouse as their keyboardist and one of their principal songwriters and lyricists. He became a prolific user of the Hammond T-102 organ, Mellotron, ARP Pro Soloist and Yamaha CP-70 piano. In the band's earliest years Banks would play acoustic guitar for some of the mellow and pastoral songs.
In 2010, Banks was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis. In 2011, he was included on MusicRadar's list of the 27 greatest keyboard players of all time. In 2015, he was named "Prog God" at the Progressive Music Awards.quinta-feira, março 27, 2025

O músico britânico Tony Banks, dos Genesis, faz hoje 64 anos
Firth of Fifth - Genesis
The path is clear
Though no eyes can see
The course laid down long before.
And so with gods and men
The sheep remain inside their pen,
Though many times theyve seen the way to leave.
He rides majestic
Past homes of men
Who care not or gaze with joy,
To see reflected there
The trees, the sky, the lily fair,
The scene of death is lying just below.
The mountain cuts off the town from view,
Like a cancer growth is removed by skill.
Let it be revealed.
A waterfall, his madrigal.
An inland sea, his symphony.
Undinal songs
Urge the sailors on
Till lured by sirens cry.
Now as the river dissolves in sea,
So neptune has claimed another soul.
And so with gods and men
The sheep remain inside their pen,
Until the shepherd leads his flock away.
The sands of time were eroded by
The river of constant change.

Tony Banks, dos Genesis, faz hoje 63 anos
Banks possui formação em piano clássico, e foi autodidata para aprender guitarra. Estudou na Charterhouse School em meados da década de 1960, na qual conheceu Peter Gabriel em 1965. Juntamente com o baterista Chris Stewart eles formaram a banda The Garden Wall, que foi fundida com a banda Anon, que incluía Mike Rutherford e Anthony Phillips. Gravaram alguns demos que acabaram conduzindo a formação dos Genesis.
Os solos elaborados, com timbragens de órgão Hammond, Mellotron e diversos sintetizadores menos conhecidos, juntamente com o uso de progressões harmónicas nas composições são as marcas mais fortes da musicalidade de Banks. Embora não seja tão citado quanto os colegas Rick Wakeman ou Keith Emerson, o talento de Banks deu estatura não só ao som do Genesis, mas ao estilo que foi cunhado e designado pela imprensa britânica e internacional como rock progressivo.
Algumas de suas composições mais características são Firth of Fifth, The Cinema Show e Home by the Sea, que ajudaram a estabelecer a identidade sonora do Genesis. Além disso, Banks contribuía com Steve Hackett e Mike Rutherford nas passagens acústicas utilizando uma guitarra de 12 cordas. Banks também fazia ocasionalmente coros e chegou a ser vocalista líder numa música que sobrou de uma gravação de estúdio intitulada The Shepherd (em dueto com Peter Gabriel).
Após a saída de Gabriel e Hackett, Banks foi o primeiro dos três remanescentes a lançar um álbum solo, entretanto, não atingiu grande sucesso de público como Mike Rutherford e Phil Collins.
