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!!!



or that Genesis did at the very least.....I love the album but it wasn't the second coming of Close to the Edge either.

Has anyone noticed that the multiple votes have altered the results? Just
wondering.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

I will have to say is foxtrot. Yes I know Selling England is an excellent album but to me it comes in second place. I think foxtrot gave the band a whole new look and a more theatrical taste to the songs. The theatrical aspect was already pioneered in Nursery Crime but Foxtrot was the album that pushed that threatical aspect of the songs and performance to another level.

A truly king of kings in progressive rock history.
For most it does not come easily
For some it comes with pain
From a thought to a living sight
For some it's a life for some a game

Without a doubt, Selling England by the Pound.  This was an upgrade in all areas with the possible exception of songwriting from Foxtrot and Nursery Crymes.  Production quality, arrangements, performance, sound ambience and consistency were all vastly improved.  It was also extremely accessible, which The Lamb was not (and that's no knock and know all on that great album, just the truth).  And the remastered cd is further proof of it's amazing atmosphere.

The Lamb is the first album that I truly listened to making it the most important album of my entire musical collection... Without it I rpobably would not be into good music let alone prog...

 

The best overall Genesis album is Selling England By the Pound, IMO it is the greatest symphonic album of all time...

Yeah, somebody's tampering with the results.  There's no way that Wind and Wuthering could get such a ridiculously high rating, so far above the rest of the albums.

This poll is completely bogus and useless.
