Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.

Trick
W&W
Lamb Lies Down
Selling England By The Pound

Selling England by the Pound gets my vote. I bought it new when it first came out and now that I'm replenishing my vinyl again, I bouhgt another copy.

Ack! Duke?

I'd have to suggest some of the older, *better* Genesis recodings such as Tresspass (their first and my favorite), Selling England by the Pound, Foxtrot and Nursery Crimes - all are great. The post Peter Gabriel era recordings are good (but not quite as good) up to And Then There Were Three, and I'd certainly recommend any of them. Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering would be my top picks.

As for Duke and the rest....well, only the name seems to have lived on ;-P.

I've been a huge Genesis fan since college and still enjoy spinning their LPs after many decades. I'm sure you'll find some recordings of theirs that will give you the same pleasure.

Enjoy!

Oops. My apologies. I misread your post and didn't understand the actual context of your question.

My top 3 recordings are Tresspass, Selling England and Trick of the Tail. I've listened to all of them within the past 2 months, and Tresspass just this past week.

My comments on the later works still stand however ;-).

The best album by far and away is "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway". Nothing comes even close to this milestone recording.

The best Phil Collins Genesis album is "Trick of the Tail".

The magic of Genesis left after the departure of Steve Hackett. His last album with the band was "Wind and Wuthering". Genesis was never quite the same after this very important contributor left the band. I seldom ever play any of the post-Steve Hackett era lps.
