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

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!

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 Wink) played me some of the album and the first track he put on was Cinema Show.  I was completely blown away.

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.

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.

A Trick of the Tail was the first album I heard and the twinkling guitar notes of Dance on A Volcano still entrance me.
It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.

I'm more prone to the Collins era of the band (Hate if you want) I love A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering. Those are my two favorite followed by Selling England and Duke. The Shapes album isn't far behind. I also enjoy Seconds Out and Three Sides Live

Either Nursery Cryme or Foxtrot, though Selling England By The Pound might soon be a third contender.
