Although I respect SEBTP, it's not one of my favorites either. In no order, I'd pick these over SEBTP: Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme, TLLDOB, and TOTT.

First Genesis album I bought was 'Selling England by the Pound' and yes, it's probably a dead heat between that and the 1973 'Live' album as to which is my personal fave.

Lamb is my favourite, but probably the forth or fifth Genesis album I'd heard (can't remember if I heard FromG2R before or after buying Lamb) ... pretty sure Trespass was the first I'd listened to. At the time I never saw anything in SEBTP that would say it would become the great album it is regarded as today - something I wasn't aware of until I started visiting here.
What?

The first Genesis album I bought was A Trick of the Tail just after its release in 76.
My favourite has always swayed between Selling England.... and Foxtrot......perhaps slightly wavering towards Selling England...

First Genesis album was Abacab; however, these days I put Duke, Selling England By The Pound, Wind And Wuthering, Foxtrot and Trick Of The Tail ahead of it.

That's the frustrating part is that (with the ability of hindsight) I know how BIG the album was in importance but I just haven't gotten around to liking the music yet. Well, White Mountain, yes - one of my favorite Genesis tunes, but the rest... not so much yet. Maybe it's like fine wine - it's been sitting on my shelf for a while now, maybe it will have gotten better with age. Wink


I'm like you. I keep listening to it hoping I'll eventually love it, but I still find it less than great.

A trick of the tail grabbed me 31 years ago (especially the intro of Dance on a Volcano) and is still my favorite (not the best Genesis-album, most Gabriel-era albums can compete witt ATOTT and I like them also very much).
