THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY

Surprisingly, this was the album that got me into Genesis, seeing as how it is an album that takes much patience to listen to. But if you have the patience, this is definitely the album for you. Filled with beautiful and complex compositions, and brilliant writing by Gabriel, this album is one of the greatest prog albums ever made.

This album has a different sound than Genesis' previous albums, with the music being dominated by keyboards rather than guitar, and it being the first Genesis album I listened to, it was hard to hear how wonderful of a guitar player Steve Hackett is. But, Banks is even more brilliant than usual which makes up for it.

If you love Genesis with Peter Gabriel, then this is the most essential album.
