From favourite to least favourite
1: Trespass. It took a LONG time for me to come to terms with the production job on it, but the remasters have really cleaned this one up and there's a certain atmosphere to it which is unique. 2: Nursery Cryme. Another one which didn't click with me at first, but bit by bit it's grown on me over the years. 3: A Trick of the Tail. Best thing Phil ever did as frontman. 4: Selling England By the Pound. It was my first Genesis album and my introduction to their prog side, so it'll always be a bit special to me, but I have to admit that the Battle of Epping Forest is a bit much. 5: Wind and Wuthering. Second best thing Phil did as frontman. 6: Foxtrot. Some of the sections of Supper's Ready are a bit goofy, and Get 'em Out By Friday is kind of goofy. 7: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. Some great moments that I wouldn't want to be without, but let's face it, as an overall concept it's utter bobbins. 8: Duke, if you just keep it to the "Duke Suite" tracks.
Pretty much anything else just isn't a keeper. |
Except for Trespass (although it might be because I have an original pressing), I'd basically put them in the same order.

You must have forgotten "Heathaze." It's such a beautiful and well written song.
SEBTP is my favorite Genesis album. I love The Lamb but it can be too spotty at times.

Nursery Cryme, then Foxtrot. SEBTP is nice. That's about it. I've tried (and I've been a Broadway Show fanatic since the early 1950s) to get into Lamb since its release, but so far I've failed.

A Trick of the Tail. It's their most consistent album from start to finish(imo).

Trick of the Tail tops both Selling England, Lamb Lies Down, and Foxtrot all in one go. At least I think so.

Would have to be Selling England by the Pound. But my overall favorite Hackett album would have to be Voyage of the Acolyte!

Shooooow-tunes! And what's all this then about SEBTP being "nice"? Talk about a minimalist sizing up. Great post from an American? Get off it already.

I won't attempt to define "best" in relation to Genesis, but I simply cannot get enough of 'A Trick of the Tail' lately...

using the equation (Early Genesis (1970-1975) = Symphonic Progressive Rock) SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND...........not only the best Genesis album but the best EVER symphonic prog album, anybody who argues any other alternative isn't a cognoscenti of Symphonic prog....end of..... I would concede that if your bag is eighties pop then you would most likely HATE SEBTP and love ABACAB... Thus before nailing your colours to the mast - state your prevailing musical taste....

Mine is Selling England By The Pound, a wonderful recording.
I also like a lot Foxtrot, Nursery Crime, A Trick ... and Wind & Wuthering.
For me The Lamb... does little, sorry
