Selling England by the Pound... in spite of More Fool like Me.
The rest of the album is a 10, I look at More Fool like Me in regards
to the rest of the album, like you would look at a 6ft. shapely blond
who really digs ya but has a totally irratating
laugh. You'd still love her wouldn't you?

To me, it's a toss between SEBTP and ATOTT. But being that Firth of Fifth is on Selling, I have to go with this one. The middle section on this one is mindblowing!

Tough poll, since I like the 'trilogy' NC-Foxtrot-SEBP almost equally... "Supper's ready" does the difference so I vote Foxtrot.

Interesting results. My order of early Genesis is:
1. Foxtrot
2. Nursery Cryme
3. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
4. Trespass
5. Selling England By the Pound
6. Wind & Wuthering
7. A Trick of the Tail
I can't rate live albums against studio efforts but obviousy I chose Genesis
Live over Seconds Out. I can't even listen to Seconds out. How are people
even considering to chose it as their favorite Genesis album?

In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion

Nursery Cryme
The Musical Box, The fountain of Salmacis and The Return of the Giant Hogweed cannot be written by a human mind...incredible masterpieces

foxtrot for sure. Selling England suffers because most of the songs have a part where the song is spoilt. The first couple of minutes of moonlit is boring, the first minute of cinema show is a bit embarrasing, firth of fifth is a bit depressing. More fool me absolutely sucks lol. Epping forest is the best song, but that has some silly vocals and lyrics(a bit like suppers ready). Good album, but there are moments that bring the album down

Now here's where it gets a little more difficult -
- Nursery Cryme
- Wind and Wuthering

Wow, you've just described my favorite parts of each of those songs... the first couple of minutes of moonlit, the first minute of cinema show, and the silly voices of epping are my favorite aspects of all of those songs.

I cant help to agree with you on this. I always say that Selling England is one of the best sounding albums of all times!!!
