White Mountain, I guess. Tough call. Definitely not Dusk though, that song's amazing. Can't believe it's losing this early..

So much dislike for Dusk? I think it's among the most beautiful things they ever did. My second favorite on the album after Knife.

This album stands out as one of the most consistent in my entire collection, thought The Knife is a bit more exciting then the other tracks. No vote. |
No least favorite here !

I love Dusk!  Definitely Looking For Someone. The songwriting and composition is pretty mediocre on that track. I really like the vocals, but the kind of hard rock section at the end just does not work for. Anthony Phillips is amazing on a 12 string guitar, electric, not so much.

One of the two best albums from Genesis. Or three. Anyway ....it's a hard choice. Probably the thoughest from all the other albums. For me. It hurts me but.....I would pick white mountain.
And now my ship is sinking, the captain stands alone.......

At last a survivor series on "Trespass". I was gonna initiate that one, actually.
I'll vote for "White Mountain". Actually, it's just as bad as "Stagnation". They are both almost equally boring. Really boring. Almost throughout.
I like "Dusk". I like the flute, the jazzy feel, the vocal harmonies, Peter's lead vocal ... almost everything.

Not quite prog by public acknowledgement. This is a prog poll category. Oh, well, who cares?

Why so much votes for Dusk? The last three songs are the best. My first vote goes to White Mountain.

This is probobly my favorite Genesis album as I love all the tracks but if I have to choose, my least favorite is Dusk, my favorite being either Looking for Someone or Stagnation.

I've heard very very very bad things about WCD and CAS. Like "worst album ever" bad. I suppose the completionist in me will get them eventually though, especially because I love "Jesus He Knows Me".
And since they're apparently on Spotify, I guess I'll take a listen now.

Really? It seems strange that you wouldn't be interested in the last two or three yet you like the post-Hackett era. I'm just sayin', I regularly see all three of them in the $1.00 bins at our local used CD store, not to mention that they're available to be streamed from at least Spotify.
If you can get over the fact that Hackett left, and if you like the self titled album, you seem to have made that leap, then the last three are certainly worth getting in my mind. Calling All Stations could be considered their proggiest release since Duke. The other two have some great songs on them as well.
If you like 'Genesis' and 'Abacab' then I highly recommend the last three.

At the least, if you wanted to, you could just do the albums from the debut to, say, Wind & Wuthering, or Duke, or wherever you want the cut-off album to be. Unless you do their whole discography of course...

I'm quite fond of post-Hackett Genesis compared to most people, so I'll definitely do those as well. But I'll separate them from the prog albums because it's obvious they wouldn't stand a chance in the finals.

The first round of the Moving Pictures survivor, I think.

I don't think I'll ever want to get WCD and CAS, based on what I've heard about them. Invisible Touch I might get eventually and FGTR I've been meaning to acquire for a while now. By the way, my vote is for Stagnation. I know that goes against the grain, but I've never been able to get into it really. It's not bad, but it doesn't excite me in any way.

Look in the first round of the Rush 'Moving Pictures' poll. I'll even help you narrow it down . . . look for an icon with a blue background and a picture of a catfish in a turtleneck.
