Being a Genesis fan, I could have voted for either Genesis album, but in the end I chose 'Trespass', as I suspect 'Selling England' will get more votes. Behind these two classics I would place (in no particular order) 'Dark Side Of The Moon', 'Topographic Oceans' & 'Relayer'.

| Since you do not have the taste to include The Snow Goose, I will pick another of my top 3, Selling England! But the 2 Renaissance albums come close. |

| Tales got my vote 'cause it's trailing and it's fantastic. For me though, it's a whole different list, with Tarkus, Lamb, and maybe Bruford's One of a Kind (are there no progressive fusion fans here?). |

Just voted for Relayer. On CTTE, the first two songs are great, but I can take or leave Siberian Khatru. On Relayer, all three songs are worth listening to, over and over and over...(okay, you get the idea). |
