This thread brings sure back some memories. I was in high school in Northern New Jersey and had just discovered the band. Fanatacism that is only possible among the high school aged ensued. The first (of many, many) time I saw Genesis was in the gym at Bergen Community College in Paramus, NJ in November, 1971. The full costume change/pyrotechnic show in a small community college gym is still the most memorable concert I've ever seen.
I still think this band produced the most melodic, hook rich material of all the progressive rock bands, and that talent remains evident through all the style changes. Those changes make the records difficult to compare, but if forced, I'd probably choose:
Foxtrot
Trick of The Tail
Lamb Lies Down
