I could easily vote for any of them as my favorite except for Visions of Angels. I ended up placing my vote for the biggest underdog here to keep it interesting — Dusk. I remember persuading my guitar teacher to figure that one out and teach it to me. Beautiful piece.

I do like this album a lot. It may not have such highlights as the next few albums, but all of it's songs are very good and pleasing. Perhaps indeed my favourite would be The Knife... but having that one out of the choices, I don't really remember the other songs so well as to choose one, I just remember I rather like them all.

Count me in for Stagnation, although possibly Dusk. The whole album is a wonderful experience, every time.

The lead-off "Looking For Someone" probably, efficiently served notice that Gabriel was a singer to be reckoned with.

Stagnation just above Dusk. The others are somewhat behind.

First vote for it and not surprised considering how out of touch my tastes and theirs seem to be.
Looking for someone.. do doubt... loved that from first listen. That connected very strongly. I loved the sense of atmosphere in that one.
Typical genesis album IMO. Great moments.. the beginning and end.. and then you have the rest of album. Sleep inducing

That was the best thing about classic Genesis: they knew how to open an album. "Looking For Someone" is my top track from Trespass.

Looking for Someone is my favorite on the album. The Knife would place fourth for me.

Stagnation is arguably the best earliest example of that classic Genesis sound, but I'm casting my vote toward the lovely Dusk, just because no one else has yet. A beautiful song, and the perfect lead to the more aggressive finale of The Knife......

I'm going for Visions of Angels, but the whole album's superb.
Perhaps their most consistent work overall.

The second ever Genesis album I heard (a Christmas present from my parents - some 40 years ago - on cassette) and I still love it. I even like Daevid Allen's cover version of 'Visions'...

OK, I'll be the odd man out on this one - Visions of Angels. White Mountain a near second.
