I listened to Selling England By The Pound today and that disc never ceases to amaze me. Just a beautiful disc.

What about Genesis to Revelation, no one has mentioned that yet.

I consider Selling England By The Pound and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway as my favourites, I love them in the same way for different reasons and I really can't choose just one.

My top five/six:

1. Selling England By The Pound / The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway;

2. Nursery Crime;

3. Foxtrot;

4. A Trick Of The Tail;

5. Genesis Live.

Funny, I follow this kind of Genesis threads since I joined Prog Archives early 2004 and this is the first time that so many go for Foxtrot Approve I am glad about this because in my opinion this is a groundbreaking album, so powerful, alternating and elaborate with Supper's Ready as the best prog epic ever, Watcher Of The Skies with the amazing Mellotron intro and Get'em Out By Friday as mindblowing heavy prog Clap And Wind And Wuthering is my second best, such a wonderful 24-carat symphonic prog album with amazing interplay between Hackett and Banks Thumbs Up
 
My Genesis studio album top 5:
 
1) Foxtrot
2) Wind And Wuthering
3) The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
4) Nursery Cryme
5) Selling England By The Pound

5 Trick of the Tail / Wind & Wuthering / Trespass

Then there would be an enormous gap before :

8 Duke
9 And Then There Were 3

I don't really think of any of the albums after Duke this as being 'true' Genesis,' so I won't list them here.
 
I only have problems with the first two spots, Foxtrot is solid, no fillers but Nursery Cryme has The Musical Box and Fountain of Salmacis, almost a tie but today this is my personal rating.
 
  1. Foxtrot
  2. Nursery Cryme
  3. Trespass
  4. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
  5. Selling England by the Pound
  6. Wind & Wuthering
  7. A Trick of the Tail
  8. From Genesis to the Revelatuion (Far from the previous)

Couldn't care less for the other studio albums.

Nursery Cryme is my personal favourite, closely followed by Foxtrot.

I think that the Lamb was underrated. The colony of slipermen was an exelent song!

To be honest I enjoy listening to all of SEBTP, Foxtrot, Trespass, LLDOB, NC and ATOTT. Favourite would be Foxtrot but all of them are masterpieces.

Foxtrot by a mile IMO. Selling England has some weak moments while Lamb is up and down.ATOTT is underrated but still not to the same level of Foxtrot.

At the moment I can’t decide between Trespass and Foxtrot.

You are not a fool and I agree with you, though Foxtrot and SEBTP are *** star albums.
