Foxtrot was my first Genesis album and one of my first prog experiences. Even though I consider Nursery Cryme & Selling England by the Pound, great albums, Nursery Cryme indicates that a little (very little) maturing is needed before the absolute perfection is achieved, Selling England by the Pound unfortunately has the weak track "More Fool Me" with vocal work by Collins. The Lamb is a bit different from earlier records, due to the strange "noise" experimets performed by gabriel, but in it's own way just as good.

For some strange reason I have never learned to appreciate Trick Of the Tail & Wind and Wuthering, I just feel that I truly can hear something is missing, and I'm NOT a fan of Collins' singing. Hackett is a smal comfort though.

My vote therefore goes to: FOXTROT  

Second would be The Lamb...

Third: Nursery..

Hmmm I think Foxtrot is my favorite...but it's difficult, Selling England follows right after, very close but Foxtrot made it because of Supper's ready and the funny cover

Difficult to pick one. I voted for Selling England By the Pound because it is solid from beginning to end.

The Lamb got my vote - not all tracks are that good ("The Waiting Room", for instance, is QUITE boring) but it has some of their best tracks, and arguably the best concept ever for an album. And, besides of "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight" and "Supper's Ready", all my fave Genesis tracks are on here.

Foxtrot / Nursery Cryme / Selling England

My big three, I voted for Selling England, but tomorrow could be one of the others.

Trick Of The Tail because I play it the most of any Genesis album.Not one bad track.You can find 'fillers' on every other Genesis album but not on this one!

Looks like a four horse race, but I suspect Trespass will run out of steam quite quickly, great album, but its up against superiors!

I went for "Nursery Cryme", it has that naive brilliance of a band suddenly finding they have immense talent.

My favourite Genesis album is Foxtrot, by a mile/kilometre. If I had to select just one album to illustrate progressive rock to a visitor from Ulan Bator then this would be the one. Which is your favourite? I'm limiting the poll to the first ten albums but, in the (unlikely ) event that your favourite is a later one, just post!
