I often use www.discogs.com.

A search for Genesis albums lookes fairly tidy: 
http://www.discogs.com/artist/Genesis#per=500&p=1&t=Releases_Albums
Different versions of the same album are not repeated; click on an album to 
show all releases of that album.

A search for Peter Gabriel using this search returns 32 albums: 
http://www.discogs.com/artist/Peter%20Gabriel#per=500&p=1&t=Releases_Albums

Could stick to just albums to start with, and perhaps extend out to a structure 
like that offered on the left-hand side of www.discog.com:

Discography >
        Albums >
        Singles & EPs >
        Compilations >
        Videos >
        Miscellaneous >

Where each discog type changes the url param "t"
