- May be somewhat subverted, as Banks has not yet achieved the fame that his Genesis bandmates and fellow Pop Star Composers Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins have.
- Rich Idiot With No Day Job: Though he came from a wealthy/upper class background and met his fellow Genesis founders at the prestigious public school they all attended, this is an averted trope.

- Sanity Slippage Album: A Curious Feeling.
- The Stoic
