Quote In Genesis's discography SELLING INGLAND in #4 for me after THE LAMB, FOXTROT and NURSERY CRYME...

We almost agree, in mine is N° 5:

  1. Nursery Cryme
  2. Foxtrot
  3. Trespass
  4. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
  5. Selling England by the Pound

This doesn't mean it's a bad album, by the contrary, it's excellent, Genesis with Gabriel only released superb albums, but even among the best there are ranks. SEBTP sounds too transitional to me, I find it closer to A Trick of the Tail than to any other Genesis release, a couple of radio friendly tracks, two masterpieces, and a couple of fillers, very irregular.

The first two places often change, today I prefer NC, but probably tomorrow I'll go with Foxtrot, both are the clearest expressions of Genesis at their peak.

From the first note to the last an absolute treat.

 

With doubt...

It'd be a greater album without out-of-place (but good) I KNOW WHAT I LIKE and (much weaker than other stuff of the entire album) MORE FOOL ME...

Really!

And once again I cannot vote, because there's not my favorite album by the year.

TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS is my favorite album of 1973.

Strange as it may sound comming from a Genesis fan, my vote doesn't goes for Selling England, by far my less favorite album from the Peter Gabriel era.

I'd vote for an icon, Dark Side of the Moon.
