One for the Vine

I honestly prefer this one over a quite few of the Gabriel-era albums (that isn't saying it's incredible, just less mediocre really)

Eleventh Earl of Mar by far.

Absolutely great album.

I love this album too, much more than Trick.

Great album! I remember the first time I purchased some Genesis albums, I bought the records of `Nursery Cryme' `Wind and Wuthering' and `Duke', and was taken aback by how different they all sounded from eachother!

The whole album is quality, but `One For The Vine' has wonderful lyrics and a great vocal performance from Phil :)

I can't vote in this poll for some reason, but I've always been partial to "Blood on the Rooftops".  Entire album is killer, though.

"One for the Vine."

I listen to this Genesis album every November (the month in which I purchased it).  I very much enjoy it.

Great album.  Sags a teeny bit in the middle but it begins and ends very strongly.  I went with the "...In That Quiet Earth" instrumental.  That mid-tempo start-stop riff kicks booty.  But I love 11th Earl, Vine, and Afterglow too.

This is one of those "sleeper" albums, its so amazing and brilliant, it tends to run under the radar for some reason. The first choice for me......but I could chose one of many others at any time

Some great choice here! I am glad it is appreciated. I am soon going to review it and just wanted some feedback prior!

To be honest, pretty much every track is high quality, so every track deserves at least one vote from everyone up above on the poll!

This one and Trick make a great pair.  I didn't get a copy of that one right away because my brother already had one.  Wind also pairs well with Voyage Of The Acolyte. All in all a nice last studio hurrah for Hackett in Genesis.  Not an album for the easily bored though.

Almost a tie between One for the Vine and Eleventh Earl.

Both represent a return to Genesis darkest roots

My favorite post Gabriel Genesis album by far.

I went for the Vine.  Eleventh Earl Of Mar just bores me. TongueLOL

Wot Gorilla, fun but too short.  Blood On The Rooftops used to be one of my least favorites, which isn't denigrating it.  It has grown better with age.  I regard the final three tracks as an excellent trilogy.  Mouses' night perhaps a little too cutesy.  Your Own Special Way maybe a little too syrupy, but was deserving of commercial success beyond tripe like Misunderstanding.
