Your first Genesis album your favorite?

   I"m only 18.

First Genesis album I ever heard fully through that 'clicked' with me was Nursery Cryme, and it is still my favorite.

Not the biggest Foxtrot fan, honestly. And I think SEBTP is a bit overlong.

Which is an odd thing to say considering that I also think that TLLDOB is near perfect and is my second favorite Genesis album....

I know, I make no sense...

	Hmm... I struggle to remember which album of theirs I heard first. It was either Foxtrot or The Lamb...I want to say it was Foxtrot...but I don't know. If it was in fact Foxtrot, then yes. That is my favorite Genesis album nowadays. If not, then no.
	Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

	I actually first heard Foxtrot despite being a young bugger. It didn't really catch until I heard Nursery Cryme though. Still I'd have to say my favorite is (so predictably) Selling England By The Pound, although I do spin W&W and Trick Of The Tail quite often. Never managed to get into Trespass.

	That's a good point you made about the younger folks.

	This might be less likely for the generations that followed, who first heard Abacab. x) Nursery Cryme is still my favourite and it's the one I first gave serious attention to. I heard others first but they didn't register at all - with Nursery Cryme I was listening voluntarily.

	I'm wondering if other people are like me, in that the first Genesis album I bought (or heard) is still my sentimental favorite. For me, it was "Seconds Out", which I bought when I was 11 years old, back in 1977. My second album was "Foxtrot" and that's also a fave. So what was your first Genesis album and what's your favorite?
