Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.

Anything with Collins fronting the band is marshmallow fluff and virtually unlistenable.

Well, that would definately be a matter of opinion, I happen to like later genesis very much, i haven't heard much of the peter gabriel era genesis, but i am going to check it out, a lot of people on here, speak highly of it.

Seconds Out also gets my vote: the dynamics on Squonk are killer and Dance On A Volcano seems almost surreal as they're finishing up. Their Chicago-Rosemount show ran almost 3 hours; the energy level in the hall was absolutely incredible as the whole place was abuzz. The only show I've ever seen that evoked the audience to even greater involvement was Jean Luc Ponty at the Arie Crown; we had 2nd row seats & he was right in front of us only about 20 feet away. Both of those shows remain unforgettable even today.

The Lamb. That's a tour I wish I could have seen. I think the most interesting post-Pete album is Wind and Wuthering.

I've just picked up the 3CD compilation called Platinum Collection from 2004.

I did this mainly to see how the Nick Davis remixes and remastering sounded.
It is tremendous the early material is given a complete revamp.
Essential if you are an Audiophile and Genesis fan.

Whilst it can't cover all the bases for serious fans,it is a pretty strong selection that just totally flattens any previous remastering.

It's on EMI (7243 8 63730 2 1)and it's been a while since I've enjoyed my system as much as when I was blasting this old stuff out today.
