Genesis

Funny. I also found Genesis Live in the discount bin. The live version of Watcher of the skies is great. I appreciate the Gabriel era most. So for me Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England and Lamb are the best. "Return of the Giant Hogweed" and  "Suppers Ready" are two of my all time faves. 

I’m a huge fan of everything from Trespass up through Wind and Wuthering.

Everything after that is pretty bad, or worse, IMO.

It is also my opinion that they lost a lot more, musically speaking, when Steve Hackett left the band, than when Gabriel left the band.

For me, it is not the Gabriel era vs the Collins era. It is the Philips/Hackett era vs the post Hackett era.

Hackett and Philips both did solo albums that are much better that any Genesis album of the post hackett era.

My favorite albums are, SEbtP and The Lamb.

I recently heard Selling England By The Pound and one side of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway for my first time. The AP/75 series lps were used. So much music I've yet to hear.

Foxtrot my favorite. I agree Hackett era best, became pop band post Gabriel. I put them in art rock category vs prog rock.

Many excellent Hackett solo albums.  Besides the usuals I like Guitar Noir and A Midsummer Nights Dream as well as Sketches of Satie.  Live archive and Tokyo Tapes are excellent. Also many great performances scattered about many solo albums released. 
 

Saw Genesis on Duke tour at MSG. Saw Hackett in a small theater in Pa. A couple years back.   Wife hated it but it was awesome. Also saw Gabriel in Philly on his “Up” tour.  
 

From Genesis to Revelation, Nursery Crime and Foxtrot were other $1.99 budget bin scores.  Prices went up ever since.
