Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.

OK, after consuming eleventeen beers last night, I spun a couple of albums I haven't played in ages - Duke, followed by Wind and Wuthering. Duke, despite the poor recording quality, is one of the bands most underated albums....sure it's a little glimpse of things to come as far as Phil Collins' dominating influence, but it's still an incredible album, and probably the last 'real' Genesis work before they became too commercial.
What are your top 3 Genesis albums and when was the last time you played one of them?....

Gee-where are all the people that purchased Invisible Touch? While I can respect Phil Collins' R&B style and songwriting, he should have remained solo after his first album. Genesis became just an extension of his solo work anyway. Good drummer, though.

1) the lamb-genius or pompous depending on which side of fence.
2) trick of the tale-best overall music/arrangements
3) selling england-best guitar solo (Firth)

Wow, just played Seconds Out for the first time in ages...I'd forgotten just how good that is, although I got a little fidgety half way though Suppers Ready!

Brings back some memories for sure!

Excellent work on this on folks...I agree with The Lamb as #1...I saw them perform this live in 1974 here in Rochester and I just saw Musical Box present it again with all the Genesis instruments and props this past winter again in Rochester....We were in the 5th row and they were excellent...Like a 31 year deja-vu....next up would be Selling England by the Pound...and Fox Trot.....What an awesomely talented band

Selling England by the Pound is a masterpiece, also probably the best of all groups of the genre.

None. I have never forgiven them for their dreadful concert at Veterans' Stadium in Philly (1989?). Awful, awful, awful. Absolutely no excuse for that; I saw McCartney there the year before and his sound system was spot on.
