Subject: Favorite Genesis album?
Date Posted: October 08 2011 at 08:33
I've been seeing how people talk about Genesis on this site, so I'm wondering about how opinions fall with the albums.
So please say what your favorite Genesis album is, and if you'd like to explain, please do. It can be any Genesis album, be it studio, live, compilation, box set, or whatever.

Second's Out
It was the first album I'd ever heard from the band. My Brother-In-Law bought it for me having seen them play earlier that year (1977) at Earl's Court.
I played it to death in my mid-teens and it literally changed my life (at least musically)

That's quite interesting. Although that one isn't *my* favorite, it's a pretty spectacular batch of performances. I especially like the versions of Supper's Ready and Los Endos.

I would say two of them:
1.- Foxtrot: Not a single week track, of course, Watcher of the Skies, Can-Utility and the Coastliners and the epic Supper's Ready are their peak.
2.- Nursery Cryme: Excellent album, probably Musical Box is their best song ever, but Giant Hogweed, Fountain of Salmacis and the sarcastic and dark humor of Harold the Barrell are almost in the same level.
Most people prefer "Selling England by the Pound", but even when still a masterpiece, they had lost that mysterious and haunting atmospheric sound with a dark atmospheres that surrounds as a thick mist that had been their trademark, I love the 5 Gabriel albums (Also ATotT and W&W), but Foxtrot, NC and Trespass, are my favorites by far.

For the PG era I rank them as follows:
Selling England By The Pound Nursery Cryme Trespass The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Foxtrot
.... From Genesis to Revelation
Honestly, none are perfect. STBTP has the most "great" songs, but also some of the worst. Foxtrot is overrated.

Again and I said on other posts about other bands, when somebody says that an album is overrated sounds a bit arrogant, for me it means more or less "All the ones who rate X album high are wrong because I say so"
I have a lot of disagreements with MikeinRegalia, but I find this post outstanding:
MikeinRegalia wrote:
nspired by the recent Pink Floyd discussion (DSoTM vs. WYWH) I ask: How can any album be "overrated" ... or "underrated"?
Most people simple mean by "overrated" that *in their opinion* the album should have a lower average rating. That's quite presumptuous, as - especially for albums with many reviews/ratings - they're essentially saying that they know better than all the others. They're saying "hey guys, you all submitted wrong ratings!". |
I believe that any album has the recognition it deserves, even if I don't like it, for example I simply can't stand "Lark's Tongues in Aspic" or "In a Glass House", but if both are considered as a masterpieces by so many people with knowledge on this genre, they must have something that I'm unable to discover.
My two cents

I fully understand that, and yes, they have lost something after NC and Foxtrot. I remember not being wildly enthusiastic about SEBTP when I heard it for the first time, while Trespass, NC and Foxtrot where blowing me away, so to say.
For me personally, though: as years went by I, I started to appreciate SEBTP more and more, because of the matureness of the material and the subtle colorings and shades. These days SEBTP is my favorite Genesis album.

The former is, to me, the epitome of the wondrous English symphonic, pastoral, album. The latter is about the perfect blend of prog and commercial music.

To this day, I still have arguments about the merits of Phil Collins with my parents
One of the reasons I started this forum was to see the balance of the PG era versus the PC era. I feel like Phil much too often doesn't get the credit he deserves.

1. Selling England by the Pound 2. Foxtrot 3. Nursery Cryme 4. Trespass 5. The Lamb 6. A Trick of the Tail 7. Duke 8. Wind and Wuthering
My number 1 is pretty much set in stone but numbers 2-6 change about every month
I also enjoy Invisible Touch and From Genesis to Revelation from time to time, so these would probably be my numbers 9 and 10, respectively.

Very difficult to choose a clear favourite from Charterhouse's finest as for me, they have made several excellent albums but not trumped us with a single 5 sparklies full house hand to date.
Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and Trick of the Tail are pretty much indispensable Genesis fare and uniformly strong throughout.

I only own Foxtrot, Selling England..., and And then there were Three. I think I prefer Foxtrot to SEBTP because Supper's Ready is a true masterpiece in my mind, even with the slightly boring Apocalypse section, and the second side of SEBTP isn't nearly as good in my ear. Side 2 of Foxtrot is comparable to Selling's Side 1, whereas Foxtrot's Side 1 is much stronger than Selling's side 2. I do know I need to buy more Genesis! I'm too busy buying modern stuff!!

Foxtrot and Trespass are my faves of the early 70s and
Trick and Wuthering my faves of the late 70s
Well they are my fave 4 genesis albums overall.
The weakest is Nursery crymes. Only has 3 cool tunes, the rest is B-C grade prog including Musical box. Amatuer compositions and amatuer recording

A Trick of the Tail is my overall favourite Genesis album.
It was Dance on a Volcano that really got me into the band. I love everything about the album from the feel to the production and album artwork. I don't think it would have been any better had Gabriel song on the album.
A close second would probably be Foxtrot, which is certainly my favourite Gabriel era album.
With regards to Duke, I think it's a fantastic album. There's a few week tracks, which I tend to skip, like Misunderstanding, but it also has some of my top Genesis tunes; Turn it on Again and Dukes Travels.

The Lamb … for me, though I still would give five stars to Foxtrot and Selling England … Nursery Cryme is also very close, and I love Trespass, A Trick … and Wind and Wuthering as well. Four stars, though Your Own Special Way may be the most boring song they ever made. Sorry Mike, at least Deep in the Motherlode is one of my favourites from And Then They Were Three.

I have mixed emotion between Nursery crime and Trespass. Both of them are equally important to me. Duke was also one of the first albums I've heard from them and it clicked me immediately. Still does. After that it's all the same for me. Selling, Trick, Wind, Foxtrot share the same place. Never really got into the lamb though. It's just doesn't get into me so much.

I agree with the both of you. Duke gets a little weak at parts but I just love it nonetheless. And A Trick Of The Tail is spectacular, and really, every song on it is amazing.

The Lamb Lies down on Broadway. Is definitely my favorite, it is their best musically and lyrically.
A Trick of the Tale has to be the last Genesis album I can really get into. Dance on a Volcano is fantastic but the rest of the album never lives up the that and with the title track you can see there descent into just generic pop songs. Even though Phil Collins did sound remarkably similar to Peter Gabriel his range and Power were definitely weaker.

It is indeed a fantastic track but not even in my top five on TotT
you can see there decent into just generic pop songs |
Do you actually mean?:
a) "You can see they're decent"
or
b) "You can see their descent"
Of course you mean the latter.
How can you say "you can see their descent into just generic pop songs"? The album after TotT was actually more proggy with only one out and out poppy song on it and every single album after that always had a varying percentage of vintage Genesis on it.
Hardly "just generic pop songs".

A Trick of the Tail was the first album I heard and the twinkling guitar notes of Dance on A Volcano still entrance me.

Just can't believe you can have Duke so far down on your list. However you do nominate the greatest Genesis album ever, which happens to be on your list of live albums. That is of course is Genesis Live in London 1973. Why? It has the two greatest Genesis singers live together on stage, Peter Gabriel singing Supper's Ready and Phil Collins singing More Fool Me. The whole structure of Supper's Ready revolves around the voice of Peter Gabriel. Phil Collin's voice just cannot do this song justice although he tries hard on the Seconds Out album. Genesis were at their peak as a band in 1973 and their playlist for this concert comes from their two greatest albums were are SEBTP and Foxtrot. Watcher of the Skies which opens the concert is as good as it gets and the definitive version of the song. Transatlantic and The Watch have tried performing this song but don't even get close to matching Genesis at their peak.

I'd say Selling England By The Pound. Overall it's equal for me to Foxtrot but Dancing With The Moolit Knight makes me incline in favour of SEBTP, considering it is one of the best melodic pieces I have ever heard ever. Ever.

Of the studio albums it's got to be Selling England, The Lamb then Wind And Wuthering.
However my favourite of the lot is Seconds Out which is the first I heard by them. A good friend (are you watching Rob ) played me some of the album and the first track he put on was Cinema Show. I was completely blown away.

My favorite Genesis album is Foxtrot, hands down. I love every song on that album to the final note. Watcher of the Skies, Time Table, Get 'Em Out By Friday, Can Utility and the Coastliners, Horizons, and Supper's Ready? What else could you ask for. Supper's Ready will blow your mind and is one of the best side-long pieces of all time!

I don't really know anything past Lamb, but I'd rank the PG albums like so: 1. Nursery Cryme (I love the surreal sense of humor that pervades this album, and it has some of my fav Genesis songs on it.) 2. Genesis Live (Mainly for the last three songs.) 3. The Lamb/Selling England (Not sure which pulls ahead, depends on my mood.) 4. Foxtrot (Supper's Ready is great, but the first side isn't quite as good imo.) 5. Trespass 6. From Genesis To Revelation

Shame, because you are missing out on some great music. Even the Phil haters would acknowledge that Trick Of The Tail is an utter classic, whilst I would have no objection in recommending Duke as one of the finest albums ever made, whilst Wind & Wuthering is clearly a model for much of the finest symphonic neo prog about.
Go on - try them. You might be pleasantly surprised

Yeah I know, It's one of those cases where I keep meaning to and getting distracted by other music. Your comment has motivated me to actually go listen to ToT, W&W, and Duke though. I'm off! :)

I won't shout at you, but I am probably in a minority
I gave it a three star review, and i really wish that they had persisted with that lineup for at least one more album.

I agree, I feel like Ray Wilson should have been given
another chance, his solo albums are brilliant, specially Propaganda Man and Genesis Klassik
