Actually, Trespass and Atom Heart Mother are 1971. You also left out A Question of Balance by The Moody Blues, which I think I would rate higher than all of them. However, of the remaining albums, Time and a Word is my favorite, even though GG's debut is a sentimental fave. Peace. |

My vinyl edition says Trespass is from 1970, and so does my AHM vinyl. |

I'd vote for any album that had a song like White Mountain, if the rest of the stuff is also excellent it's better, my vote goes for ......... Well, you all know for which one I voted. Iván |

I voted Trespass. The Genesis blueprints for the Gabriel era were forged here. The playing is a bit crap in parts, and the production fairly weak, but it's an album full of atmosphere and rich melodies. I almost voted for ELP ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |
Anyone who's been around here for a while will know I have not been an ELP fan, but I am warming to them - slowly. Their debut effort is very worthwhile. Production isn't bad and the playing is good from the start.Posted By: Easy Livin

According to that usually reliable source of all things prog Progarchives.com, both were 1970. Went for "Trespass" myself, great album. Exciting times the early 70's though, weren't they! |

| I'm a bit disturbed that anyone would think Atom Heart Mother is superior to ELP's debut album.ELP set the tone for prog rock at the time.There are few better debut albums. |

| I voted ELP, one of their finest efforts to my humble opnion. VDGG came close. Trespass is a good album but you can hear the band hasn't matured in 1970. There were greater things to come for Genesis during the following years. In ELP's debut everyyhing that's made a ELP a fantastic band were already there. The Atom heart mother track is great but the other Floyd tracks on the album aren't realy worthwhile. The first album of Gentle Giant wasalso not bad |

I've voted here from the available list for VdGG but I must agree with an earlier comment I would certainly go for H to He:Who am the only one as the best prog album of 1970 |

All: Forgive me for my seeming misdating of Trespass and Atom Heart Mother. One of the problems is that, back then, new albums, especially by still-"cult-ish" groups like Genesis and Pink Floyd, were released in the U.K. (and some of Europe) first, and then later in the U.S. My memory (which is pretty good, despite my advancing years... Not an excuse, but simply an explanation. Peace. |
) is that we in the U.S. were not actually able to get Trespass or Atom Heart Mother until early 1971 (unless we wanted to order it as an import).Posted By: Aerosol Grey

It has to be KC's 'Poseidon' for me - even though it was very derivative of the first album, it remains an absolute stormer, and one of their most under-rated albums.

I agree 100 %!!! Genesis was yet to do great mature stuff and learn to perfomr it with proper skill and confidence: skill and confidence were already present in ELP's and GG's debut albums, respectively, lots of skill and confidence. My vote went for KC's "Poseidon", since it is IMHO the most mature album listed in the poll: I like it even better than their (excellent, crucial) debut, that's how ITCOTCK should have been produced, integrated and mixed. Regards. |

Among mentioned above albums I hardly could choose between H TO HE and the debut album by Gentle Giant. Just voted for the 2nd one at last... But among all the 1970 albums (including unmentioned) I would have voted for JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR with no doubt! The next ones would have been Uriah Heep SAULISBURY, DEEP PURPLE IN ROCK and King Crimson LIZARD... ------------- I Prophesy Disaster... |

I love Trespass, but the production is just HORRIBLE on it, so it can't get my vote. I voted Atom Heart Mother closely followed by ITWOP and Trespass (1970 was a great sign of things to come! Good Poll!) ------------- something pretentious |

Almost all of these albums are pure genius... yet, I don't know how an album like "Trespass" (in which GENESIS were still trying to find themselves as performers and writers, although they were already capable of creating real musical greatness), that is so flawed in many ways, can gain more votes than ELP's debut (they were born as a mature band), KC's sophomore (going to more places than their seminal debut "In the Court"), GG's debut (a bit immature, but already quite versatile and cohesive) and VDGG's sophomore (the beginning of a stunning world apart in the realms of prog). All these albums comprise excellent musicans that were already at their prime or were about to be, but "Trespass" shows much shyness in most of Phillips' guitar parts, and definitely, not the best of rhythm sections. |
