Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.

Selling England by Pound, an incredible piece of work, some of the best flute solo guitar work I have ever heared , very melodic, great work by steve hacket , remindes me of andy lattimer of camel. The other two are trespass and nursery cryme.

Forgot to mention that I am listening to selling england by pound almost everynight just before I go to bed...

I'm not surprised that Selling England BTP seems to be high on most peoples list, it's a sublime work that seems to capture the very best of the band. It's rare to find a recording where each track is of the highest standard, and I think that is where the Lamb falls down, there are some exceptional pieces but just too much mediocrity in between.
Genesis and Pink Floyd were my favorite bands through the late 70's and 80's, and it pained me each time Genesis released a new recording, to see the change in direction, and their promoting Collins as the main contributor. I disliked much of PC's whining about his marital problems through Face Value, and when he brought that into Genesis, it spelled the end of an era for me.

1. Lamb
2. Selling England
3. Live (with PG, prior to Seconds Out)

It seems that most band's first few albums are their best. I'll go with... 1.) The lamb lies down on broadway 2.)Selling England by the pound 3.) Nursery Crimes. I saw the lamb lies down on broadway concert in two different cities. Peter Gabriel at his best! He kicked his way out of an egg, as a slipperman. He was as good a costumed actor as he was a singer.Good stuff! I miss the 70's, for all the great music---1968-1975.
