Meh. I think the best tracks were the thing invloving angels, whatever it was called (I don't have it in front of me, and I'm too lazy to look it up), because it sounded like what would become Pete's solo work, and of course, "The Knife." But that one got the sh*t kicked outta it (in a good way) on the live album, where it highly benefits from Hackett's guitar and Phil's drumkit. They were far better than "those earlier guys."

That's the frustrating part is that (with the ability of hindsight) I know how BIG the album was in importance but I just haven't gotten around to liking the music yet. Well, White Mountain, yes - one of my favorite Genesis tunes, but the rest... not so much yet. Maybe it's like fine wine - it's been sitting on my shelf for a while now, maybe it will have gotten better with age.

yes it took me awhile too, but then I'd remember it was 1970 and it became clear what a major piece of work it really was, plus I started to really like the music as well

Hrmm. Maybe I'll listen to it again next. It's one of those albums I'm positive I'm missing something but I don't know what it is yet.

I'm not the only one who wasn't thrilled with Trespass? I can only think of White Mountain that I really like off that album. Although, listening to Firth Of Fifth right now is making for a very high bar to pass to be memorable.

Well, I only have:
'Trot
England
Live
and
'Pass,
so I'm hardly in any state to admit authenticity. I reckon I like Live under England and Foxyladay, then Trespass. Too much Moody Blues and immature Gabriel solo sounding stuff on that one; not enough of the "classic Genesissy" sound.

England was my first on the rec of a veteran proggie and I wasn't thrilled with it.. now I love it

For me actually, it used to be...but I've FINALLY decided that Foxtrot is ever so slightly inferior to Selling England (my first and second purchases respectively).

No as a fact just the contrary, I heard Selling England and A Trick ofvthe Tail almost simultaneously and:
1.- SEBTP is by far my least favorite Gabe era Prog album.
2.- ATOTT is my least favorite Genesis Prog album even much further than SEBTP.
Note: I don't consider any post W&W album Prog and to be honest, neither consider any of them remotely good.
My list goes in order:
- Foxtrot & Nursery Cryme (A perfect tie)
- Trespass
- The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
- Selling England by the Pound
- Wind & Wuthering
- A Trick of the Tail
- From Genesis to the Revelation
