Probably a repeated thread, but deal with it. I just got Nursery Crime today, and I've just started to really listen to it... and i don't yet own the Lamb... but for now my vote goes for Foxtrot. "....a flower?" ------------- I bleed coffee. When I don't drink coffee, my veins run dry, and I shrivel up and die. "Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso? Is that like the bank of Italian soccer death or something?" -my girlfriend |

I'm not sure why hardly anyone picks Nursery
Crime...it's the equal of Selling England or Foxtrot, I think. But each to his own. |

no doubt Nursery Cryme is brilliant, but it's brilliance doesn't shine through as easily as Sellign England or Foxtrot since it does have awful sound quality. Great album, but I don;t think the compositions are as mature as on the next couple of albums either. IMO. -------------

Having just finished playing "Selling..." 4 times in a row I think it would have to be my all time favourite Genesis album. As mentioned above, the quintessential prog album. -------------

Foxtrot. All other albums have their weak spots, this one's just perfect. There's only two albums like that: Foxtrot and CTTE ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

| SEBTP just beats Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme into 2= place IMO. This is to a large extent because of the superior sound (i.e. the drums don't sound like cardboard boxes being slapped with a wet kipper). |

From the list "Selling England by the pound". But "The Lamb" is better.

One think I noticed from Gabriel's Genesis is that they got better and
better. Their newest album was always better than the last one. I was wondering what they could do to top The Lamb. Maybe this was one of the (hidden) reasons for their break up, they just couldnt do better than The Lamb. |
