Among the most famous:
OutKast (yes, them!) sampling Dancing with the Moonlit Knight
Prodigy (the rapper, not the band) sampling Firth of Fifth in a song called Genesis!
I think Enigma sampled some Genesis beats.

So I admit to being completely clueless about these styles of music. It’s easy to hear Firth of Fifth in the one song. Where is DWTMK sampled in the other song? Is it the drums?

The chord progression throughout the tune is taken from DWTMK.

I'm officially confused. I've seen different sources saying there are samples "at 00.07, 00.15 and throughout" and that the sample occurs at 01.30. I can't hear either the alleged samples or the chord progression, which I've not seen referred to anywhere. I didn't know the track but quite like it as I have other stuff of theirs. Very nice horn section.
I like trance and the Salmacis one is OK although it seems a bit of a shotgun marriage. Not keen on rap but the Firth sample is used quite well in that one.
Not the same thing but these at least nudge towards my desire to hear unusual full-on covers of Genesis, not just tribute acts or proggy wannabes but unexpected takes. I still yearn to hear eg a brutal industrial electro version of Ripples or whatever.

I think the chord progression is pretty obvious (C#m - G#m - AMaj7), even the rhythm of the progression is basically the same, it's just missing the melody on top of it.
At 7:30 in this video it's quite well demonstrated, although it could be a re-recording of the chord progression?

OK thanks that helped, got it now. But yes, I reckon a re-record rather than a sample.
The sources I saw citing samples at specific points in the song are misleading.
I had to go digging, but I remember posting previously about a site that links to many songs that sample Genesis. I found it: https://www.whosampled.com/Genesis/
I like the three above, although does the Prodigy one have a message about vaccines being a tool of suppression used by the government? I might have misunderstood as I was half-paying attention but if so, that would be a major turn off. And I don't normally pay much attention to lyrics! The sample is incorporated very well though.
Outkast are great, I was hugely into them for a while. Stankonia is a brilliant album, and the double one that followed was mostly superb too, and the soundtrack they did around 2008 I think.

Great website.
The only thing is that it contains a lot of unconfirmed samples (I think that's the website Backdrifter was referring to in the DWTML sample).
Nonetheless, it's very exhaustive.
Was browsing a bit and I found a few interesting stuff:
The "Mama" drum loop used by Industrial Electro pioneer Wumpscut
