I'm with Floyd-man here. And Genesis is #1 on my list of bands.

Really!

And once again I cannot vote, because there's not my favorite album by the year.

TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS is my favorite album of 1973.

King Crimson - Lark Tongues takes it EASILY... it's the best thing they've ever done IMO.

We almost agree, in mine is N° 5:

  1. Nursery Cryme
  2. Foxtrot
  3. Trespass
  4. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
  5. Selling England by the Pound

This doesn't mean it's a bad album, by the contrary, it's excellent, Genesis with Gabriel only released superb albums, but even among the best there are ranks. SEBTP sounds too transitional to me, I find it closer to A Trick of the Tail than to any other Genesis release, a couple of radio friendly tracks, two masterpieces, and a couple of fillers, very irregular.

The first two places often change, today I prefer NC, but probably tomorrow I'll go with Foxtrot, both are the clearest expressions of Genesis at their peak.

Hmm. As much as  I love "Selling England by the Pound" I have to go with DSOTM, I can't betray the floyd, I love them.

OK hands up time, I got a bit carried away.

More Fool Me didn't need to be on an album already topping 50 minutes.

I have to disagree though about 'I Know What I Like'.

Definately my top Genesis album, I wouldn't have 'The Lamb...' in my top 6 or 7. However I have no problem with people who think this is Genesis' best as it would be a very boring world if everyone had the same likes and dislikes.

I would say that it surprises me greatly that the poll is showing SEBTP so far ahead of DSOTM, I thought that it would be a lot closer. Never knew so many people thought the same as myself.

'Selling England..' Without a doubt. It is quintessential English prog. IMO it is one of the bands strongest albums ever. Their playing was brilliant. For the first time on record the true skill of the Genesis machine could be heard, complimented by the best production they had managed to date. It has some of my favourite prog moments of all time; 'Dancing with the moonlit knight' and that fantastic piano intro to 'Firth of fifth'

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Yes, all the Gabriel Era albums by Genesis are excellent, the Masterpieces!

What tracks from SEBTP you consider as the masterpieces and fillers?

My favorite one from there is CINEMA SHOW/AISLE OF PLENTY, THE BATTLE OF EPPING FOREST is #2, FIFTH OF FIRTH is #3. All the tracks are the Great Masterpieces, IMO

Beside Selling England, two incredible masterpieces were realized in 1973, in Italy: Felona e Sorona (Le Orme) and Zarathustra (Museo Rosenbach). But all the world always talk about the same (excellent too) British albums. Unfair. And sad.

I was torn between "Selling England by the pound" and "Dark side of the moon" but went with "Dark side..." because I think it's such a perfect album all the way through while "Selling..." has "More fool me" which is not very good IMO and "I know what I like" which is not really bad but not one of my favorites.

 
All the best,

Because this poll proves that ELP fans aren't the only ones who "look on blindly and say I see..."

THIS IS ELP
