You often hear bands citing  music from other bands. For example, citing a tiny piece of music of a band that they like or dislike.
Example: Zappa - He's so gay is citing "do you really want to hurt me" by Culture Club.

Do you know of other bands who did this? (are there any citings of Genesis music going round, for example?)

A few examples come to mind...

There is a few seconds musical citation of Genesis' "Fountain of Salmacis" in The Flower Kings' "World of Adventures".

Peter Hammill sings parts of his own "A Motorbike in Africa" and the chorus of Peter Gabriel's "Biko" in the end of the song "Sun City Night Life".

And After Crying has cited the most characteristic riffs from King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man" somewhere on one of their albums, I think it's on "Show".

On their live-double "Once In A Lifetime" one can listen to Dream Theater citing "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Moby Dick" by Led Zeppelin, "Plat Opus" by Platypus, "Have A Cigar" by Pink Floyd, "Enter Sandman" by Metallica, "Paradigm Shift" by Liquid Tension Experiment and "Flight Of The Bumblebee" by Nikolai Rismky-Korsakov.
On "Journey To The Centre Of The Earth" Rick Wakeman cites a piece of "Hall Of The Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg.
Some peolpe say, that Marillions earlier albums were nothing but citations of Genesis

check out the recent SAGA albums and read the
lyrics – they're full of references and even song titles
of their very own times and albums past. so much for
aging gracefully ... or what was that again in
"breathing lessons" (off MARATHON") ... "... shake
the tree, we're gonna climb the ladder..."

What about Rush using Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" as a section of "La Villa Strangiato"?
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

And many Keith Emerson solos have citations.

And "Pirates" cites "Karn Evil 9 1st Impression"

It also cites "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" or whatever it's called, and many more.

I believe Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head is from the film Butch and the Sundance Kid (Paul Newman)
I know "They Say the Neon Lights look bright on Broadway" by George Benson, but this can not be the original.

On the same album (absolutely free) he also cits invocation and ritual dance from Rite of Spring (same Stravinsky).

I like the way Zappa always cites himself throughout his career. Wasn't that what he called "Conceptual Continuity"?

The Residents' Kaw-Liga is a cover of a Hank Williams song. Someone told me that his wifes name was Billy Jean and that's why the Residents cover uses the Michael Jackson 'drive' in the song.

Peter Hammill cites "Put on Your Red Dress, Baby" by José Feliciano in "Lost and Found" on his album "Over".

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but somewhere in The Revealing Sciece of God (i'm pretty sure its this song, although it might be a different one of TFTO) you can hear the riff from Close To The Edge.
