I bought on vinyl at the same time Duke, Abacab and Invisible Touch. Suffice it to say i was less than impressed. However later discovered Seconds Out and Foxtrot - had no idea they wre so brilliant.

Hmmm, I believe the first album MAY have been Invisible Touch, but perhaps not all of it.
The first album I remembering hearing completely was "A Trick of the Tail", thanks to a friend.
It still remains one of my favorite Genesis albums.

Hi,
Selling England By The Pound
About a month right after it came out, and on an import ... it still was not out in America. Edited by moshkito - February 07 2011 at 14:13 |

Selling England by the Pound is the only album by them I've ever heard and that was about half a year ago at the insistence of people from this board. It did nothing for me, so that closes the book on that band for me.

I cannot tell. One of my brothers was into Genesis in the '70's. I was a kid back then. It was probably Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot or Live.

You would give up so easily? Try Nursery Cryme or Foxtrot or A Trick of The Tail. These are also favorites of many.

Revelation To Genesis in its black and gold sleeve issued by Decca in 1969, after hearing a Genesis track from the album (turned out to be the best track IMHO) on the sampler Wowie Zowie The World Of Progressive Music. Fortunately working in record shop I could hear Revelation To Genesis in full before buying - and never did buy it. It took a couple of more years before my brother reintroduced me to Genesis through Nursery Cryme and Trespass - I felt then their first was horribly weak compared with other prog and so I was turned off from following the band any further in 1969.

Selling England by the Pound, several years back (late 2005). It's the only one I've really listened to although lately Foxtrot has been getting more spins. I've really been taking my time with their discography, heh.
I hate that I listen to them so little but I almost never think about them. edit: and I'm ashamed to say that for the longest time (up until a year or two ago) I basically only listened to the first side of SEbtP. It's a bummer that I never got more into them back in the day but at the time I was going more in the (for the most part) metal direction; from that time I remember a lot of In Absentia, Opeth, Iron Maiden and Modest Mouse. a wee bit of ELP too.

After the tonearms journey thru the smoky room had laid its rest against the initial groove..........the words "Can you tell me where my country lies" had invaded my skull and sent me further spiraling out of control

The first album I ever bought was Genesis - s/t (shapes). I listened to it over and over and quite liked it. I was 10 or 11 and I just grabbed albums that had songs I had heard on the radio. I remembered quite a few song I liked being Genesis songs so I picked it. I think I picked up Abacab and Duke and liked them but never really bought in. One of my younger brother's first albums was Invisible Touch and So. So and Shaking the Tree were in constant rotation blaring from his room.
Not the proggiest beginnings but in college I discovered this strange album with Genesis AND Peter Gabriel - Selling England by the Pound. I had no idea was what I was buying but that sounded like it would be a cool combo.
I still think "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" is one of the best songs recorded in the rock era. What a first impression.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

 Not an album, but a decent intro to all phases of their career (save for the debut). The presence of the recent remixes made listening to the originals all the more alluring and worthwhile. |

I discovered Genesis with two albums at the same time; Wind And Wuthering and...And Then There Were Three. W&W affected me much deeper but I loved both. I loved W&W so much that the cassette didn't leave my walkman for a month straight! (this was 1986 afterall, lol) I then proceeded to devour their back catologue and had every album within months. It was love at first sound.

I heard that US double LP repackaging of Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot [the one with the black cover and great photos on the back] at a friends house. Borrowed the album and played it everyday until I found my own copies.

My library had Trespass. I didn't get into it as much as Yes at the time.
Then when i heard Trick of the Tail I was hooked. |

Invisible Touch followed by We Can't Dance. Seriously. I found both of them in my dad's collection while I was raiding it for Styx and ELO albums. I loved on those two for six months before I picked up Selling England by the Pound. I still think We Can't Dance has several superb songs.
