I can't say that "Red Queen.." is pastoral in any way, shape or form

of these, Harmonium and maybe Ant Philips would be the most pastoral for me, but not a big fan of either so abstaining

I love Ant more than any artist, Harmonium's amazing, Trespass was never my favorite, but Red Queen is the one-and-only, the creme-de-la-crop. A masterpiece of masterpieces. Easy pick!

Gryphon ~ Red Queen to Gryphon three is very gud.
Don't know Anthony Philips ~ The Geese and The Ghost & Harmonium ~ blah! blah! blah!
Doesn't matter though, cause Trespass is so good. Genesis' first masterpiece.

You can tell from the cover.

In this case, I think evocative of the rural/countryside (which rules out 'The Knife', etc.)

The Geese and the Ghost gets the nod for this one.

I definitely prefer Trespass on this poll. Very underrated compared to Genesis' other prog albums.

Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

Though I like all these albums, Trespass is my favourite, though only a part of it evokes a "pastoral" mood, while "The Geese and the Ghost" has a pastoral atmosphere throughout the album.

This is PASTORAL

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Good question........it's a matter of opinion as always but here's an actual explanation of pastoral

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastoral

Since Atom Heart Mother had a cow on the cover, as someone said above, that must be pastoral.

From RYM...not endorsing this list..just posting it.

Yeah, this song would seem pastoral enough indeed, as well as parts of Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast, and perhaps even "If"... but not the title track at all.
