I donīt have a favourite. I started listning to early Genesis with "live 73" which has songs from three different albums. Still, my favourite song is "firth of fifth from a 4th album and I love "In the cage" live from ī82. I started listening to Genesis with "Tonight tonight". So, a favourite album, no. If I had to throw away all but one, Iīd keep ....."The lamb" because it contains more songs..hahaha

Selling England By The Pound, the album with the most variety and dynamics and containing 3 of my top favourite Genesis tracks: Firth Of Fifth, After The Ordeal and The Cinema Show.

Infact this poll sums up quite nicely what albums you would net as a genesis fan...if you like genesis a bit then get Nursery cryme, Foxtrot, Selling england and The lamb...if genesis is in your top 10 list then get Trespass, A trick of the tail and wind and wuthering...and if you are really hardcore then get the rest

Nursery Cryme is incredible !! The best of Genesis, even better than SEBTP or Foxtrot.

I wish there was a choice that said "Can't decide between Foxtrot, Nursery
Cryme, Selling England, or the Lamb." Because I would chose that one right
away. Last month for a while, my favorite was "the Lamb" but now I'm
leaning towards "Foxtrot." I ended up voting for the lamb anyway because
it's a double album monster with not a single second of useless music.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

I have got to go with Selling England by the Pound here.

Of course, Foxtrot has Supper's Ready, but as a whole SEBTP is just untouchable as far as 70's Progressive rock goes.

Selling England By The Pound is (for me) the greatest in a string of almighty albums ...

I fell in love with it first, but I won't argue with anyone who thinks Nursery Cryme or Foxtrot is the ultimate prog album, either
"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

Wow!! Very hard question... I vote for "Lamb" because I think that closed a legendary age... I really love every Genesis' album, from Trespass to Duke, but I think that "Lamb" has a powerful load of emotions...

THOSE ARE  ALMOST AT THE SAME LEVEL FOR ME.

Selling England, though Foxtrot is close to becoming my favourite.

Have to go with Foxtrot at the top, closely followed by the '74 and '73 efforts.

Selling England by the Pound. I've been listening to it a lot over the past year and I appreciate it more each listen. Also "Lamb" and "Trick of the Tail". Dare I say it.... I've never really gotten into "Foxtrot". Agree with Steve Hackett's comment that SEBTP was their best Gabriel album (and their best period).
