I guess a small margin in favor of W&W, though I still think the best song on both albums is The Musical Box, just over One for the Vine.

Voted for Nursery Cryme. If it was NC vs ATOTT I would have voted for trick.

Yes, it lacks a decision by the band to include a better song on Wind' other than Your Own Special Way. 'Cryme beats it on that account as it has no bad tunes. That said, Wind' is the height of the band's creativity during the Collins era.
I much go for ATOTT over Wind.....

Nursery Cryme ranks #3 in my Genesis list, W&W alternates for #4 with The Lamb.

NC for me easily. Although W&W is great (and the last record I count to classic Genesis era - maybe for Hackett leaving after that). There is nothing from post Gabriel era which could beat The Musical Box.

I chose WaW, even though I dislike the one track: "Your own Special Way".  The rest of the album as a listening experience is excellent, and its one of my fave albums to listen all the way thru (although often skipping the mentioned weaker track).  Nursury Cryme has the three classic/awesome prog tracks, but I usually only listen to them individually; it isn't as cohesive or as good an overall album experience as listening to WaW.

Wind for sure. Nursery only has a couple of strong tracks
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

W&W has some great moments, but is balanced out by some very average ones.  Fountain of Salmacis is one of my fave prog songs of all time, add in 7 Stones, Harold, etc and it's an easy choice Wink
