I didn't mean to say "And Then There Were Three" would be in my top 7 Genesis albums,
just that there is a richness to the texture of it that is pretty interesting to fathom.   A lot
of glissando.  Maybe they were trying to "clone Hackett and put it on steroids."   I wonder
if Voyage actually broke ground as a studio album as far as sonically unique ground
in terms of engineering.

'Selling England By The Pound', but voted for 'Foxtrot' since it's on the same level for me but unfortunately losing this poll.

As for 'And Then There Were Three', it's not a bad album anyway. Already a bit too poppy, but still holds a lot of classic-era Genesis melodism. Definitely the best LP from that infamous and notorious trio.
This night wounds time.

I've never had the patience for And Then There Were Three. Eventually I plan to give it a fair chance, but so far it's always too boring for me

The Lamb.

Interesting that it has changed over the years...throughout the 70's and 80's my fave was Nursery Cryme.  In the 90's I loved SEBTP, but for the past 10 years or so I can't get enough of The Lamb.

My fav used to be SEBTP, lately it's Lamb Lies Down.  I enjoy pretty much anything by Genesis though (except Calling All Stations).

Hon. mention to ATTWT, because a few of those songs are among my favorites they ever did.

No I'm okay with Genesis and discussing it, but I think people tend to overdo these kinds of polls.

Anyway, my vote goes to Selling England by the Pound, but I'm not really a fan of the band.
Discussing Genesis in a prog forum, the nerve of some people, eh?

If you don't like Genesis, and don't want to discuss them or vote in polls about them, I suggest that you simply don't.

Oh, and posts like yours doesn't exactly help creating a healthy and good discussion.

I think from an engineering point of view, if we look at "studio
album" in that context, it's pretty interesting.  
I went with Nursery Cryme because it really first put down the absolutely uniqueness of the band.  They seemed to mature in that way. They seemed to get a lot sonically richer around
the "Wind and Wuthering" and "And Then There Were Three" stage.  Dance on a Volcano
and Entangled from "A Trick of the Tail" are also engineering masterpieces.

I'm everything but a Genesis fan. The only album I can survive until the end is The Lamb. Honestly not just survive, I like it a lot. I've never understood why SEBTP is so loved, I find it quite boring and I'm used to skip a couple of songs.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

The Lamb followed by Selling England followed by W&W followed by Nursery Cryme.
