Trilogie was from 1972 Bennie

I love Trespass, but the production is just HORRIBLE on it, so it can't get my vote.

I voted Atom Heart Mother

closely followed by ITWOP and Trespass

(1970 was a great sign of things to come! Good Poll!)

There were greater things to come for Genesis during the following years. In ELP's debut everyyhing that's made a ELP a fantastic band were already there. The Atom heart mother track is great but the other Floyd tracks on the album aren't realy worthwhile. The first album of Gentle Giant wasalso not bad

I agree 100 %!!! Genesis was yet to do great mature stuff and learn to perfomr it with proper skill and confidence: skill and confidence were already present in ELP's and GG's debut albums, respectively, lots of skill and confidence. My vote went for KC's "Poseidon", since it is IMHO the most mature album listed in the poll: I like it even better than their (excellent, crucial) debut, that's how ITCOTCK should have been produced, integrated and mixed.

Not an excuse, but simply an explanation. Peace.

Maani, it's ok for your Americentrism to show from time to time!
