Think back to all those great album covers Genesis had. Which is your overall favourite?
 
For me, it has to be A Trick Of The Tail. Always loved the characters on the front, all from the songs inside of course. Always loved the very English Victorian feel it had, and even the colour was very apt.ClapClapClap Almost like a musical version of Alice In Wonderland to look at. It made the already excellent record all the more interesting to me.
 
Nursery Cryme is a close second though.Clap

Trespass, which is also musically my favorite of them. I like the brutal ancient style of it, and the inner pastoral image. Also the knife slashing refers nicely to the final song, and the gothic band logo is awesome!

The Lamb by a mile. More substance on the album cover than most albums have.

I do like the early album covers with the Nursery Rhyme style.  I also like Then There Were Three.
 
I think that Selling England is my favourite 'though.

Glad to see you are back to spread your usual rays of sunshine Spacecraft.


All of the covers from "Nursery Cryme" to "Wind and Wuthering are good. I have to agree with Chessman about "A Trick of the Tail." I have always been intrigued by those characters.

Selling England By The Pound which is also my favourite album (even More fool Me didn`t spoil it). I like the idea of this cover being strongly related to "I Know What I Like"
