My favourite two Genesis albums as well, but in reverse order. Foxtrot has no weak songs, but the best ones in Selling are better than the best in Foxtrop, in my opinion. If only they had put something listenable in the place of More Fool Me...
I know what I like (and do not)!

Foxtrot for me! my favorite, possibly the best.  Would definitely have voted for Selling England by the Pound for best, except for...More Fool like Me.

I like most of their early albums, and I would have to choose between Selling and the Lamb. I like the Lamb a little bit more because is sounds more mature, the production is better and I like the Album cover (and story) better. But the difference is not very big!

Nursery Cryme, with The Lamb a close second.

Selling England and Foxtrot are good too, but that compelling Gabriellian weirdness I love so much is more diluted.

I used to think Foxtrot was much better, what with Watcher of the Skies, Get Em' Out By Friday and Supper's Ready being classic tracks. But the musical evolution that happens to Genesis between the two albums is astounding. The drumming is vastly improved, they have a better sense of atmosphere and the ideas are developped much more nicely both in terms of lyrics and soundscape. The fact that Selling England contains both Firth of Fifth and The Cinema Show, their two best and most mature songs means a lot. The extended keyboard section in The Cinema Show is one of the great moments in prog rock histrory. It cannot be overlooked.

At the moment: Foxtrot, but I don't know which one is better or not  (Between The Lamb, SEBTP and Foxtrot)

One of the most difficult of polls for me, as I love every album from Trespass to Wind And Wuthering. Any of them will do for me, but, as always, I have to vote for what I consider the best prog album of all time, the one with the most beautiful passages, interesting twists and turns, tremendous storytelling and superb musicianship, there can be only one - THE LAMB!
