One of the albums I've been obsessing over recently, and my vote goes to Dance on a Volcano.


I really like the title track A TRICK OF THE TAIL with its quirky and off-beat rhythm and story-but my favorite is ENTANGLED, with MAD MAD MOON a close second-All perfectly tailored to Phil's softer voice.

Post Gabriel but with Hackett is also my favourite era of the band.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Robery Assault and Battery for me - the instrumental section perfectly sums up just what I love about Genesis.

Apart from the title track I find it a very consistent album but I'll go for Dance on a Volcano.

This is like an ensemble cast of songs, each shines in its own way.
That being written, Los Endos, since it reprises several others, albeit briefly.

Stuck between a few (including the title track actually - got a soft spot), but since Squonk has isn't doing so well, it gets my vote. Honestly, they're all of supremely high qualitySmile

Although I'll listen to either incarnation of the band, I actually prefer Genesis without Gabriel unlike most.  I love "A Trick of the Tail"; it's the song that instantly comes to mind when I think of one of the band's best albums.  So I guess I'm a prog fan who's not in his right mind!

I found a really bad album, as the only Genesis I enjoy is the Peter Gabriel era.

But I do have to admmit that the first track some times move me around... somewhere...
