I have to say Nursery Crime. And perhaps indeed this poll should have included the 4 Gabriel albums, in which case I'm afraid I would have to have voted for The Lamb.

I don''t consider these three albums to be "the three great Genesis albums". the best they ever did was "The Lamb"

Foxtrot is the best album they've ever made. Please re-listen it.

Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

This is a trick question. Actually none of them.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Sorry but even if the question is sensible I'm not gonna vote any of these 4 masterpices (I'm including The Lamb) as "the worst anything".
Each one of them is amazing for one or another reason, some is better in some respect and some other is better in another respect. Music is not a competitive sport where only one wins the match or the race.

I have to say Foxtrot. Supper's Ready may be Genesis' best single work, but as total albums go, I think SEBTP and Nursury Cryme are better.

Three all mighty albums.
1.- Foxtrot
2.- Selling England By The Pound
3.- Nursery Crime
In my opinion Nursery Crime is worst for the melody lack in "momentary lapses".

I voted before for Nursery Crime too, but what you are saying is exactly what I think.

I'd have to give to Selling England By The Pound. It has some good songs ("Dancing With The Moonlit Knight", "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)", "The Battle Of Epping Forest"), but it's not the end all-be all Genesis album.

I really can't see why SEBTP is "the best prog album ever" here.Foxtrot and nursery cryme are both way better than SEBTP and the lamb is also much better. |
Thats exactly how i feel too. The Lamb is by far the best Genesis album.

Foxtrot is my least favorite of the 3. Not by much though...
