I forgot to admit that I do enjoy Selling England by the Pound on occasion but I really can't see the Genesis light on any other albums (I own Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, SEBTP, and The Lamb Lies Down... if you think I deserve to give another album a shot I'm perfectly willing to I'm--I'm not trying to dislike them I just do...so...any suggestions?)
It might be hard if you cant get past Peter's vocals... Have you listened to those albums through a few times or not so much?
There really are a lot of excellent songs on all of those, if you can get past Gabriel's vocals and you could always try post-gabriel... A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering are very good albums...
Really though... what's not to like about Gabriel's singing? It's great!

A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers is simply stunning, especially the latter half in my opinion. When I listen to Supper's Ready I hear a big, messy collage of potentially good ideas with the ridiculous talents of Peter Gabriel "singing" over top of them. i'm very sorry for that, but I really don't like Gabriel at all and he is the reason I do not like Genesis--believe me I've tried numerous times, I just can't stand the bloke (with all due respect). so...

Supper's Ready, though Plague is great.
What's with all these people who haven't heard Supper's Ready? I mean, I can see someone not having heard APoLK before... its probably not as popular... but Supper's Ready? It's mentioned CONSTANTLY! A Prog rock classic! A MUST HEAR! First damn Prog song I ever heard and it's still one of the best!

Supper's Ready for micky...
love each lyrically.... the 2nd half of AFoLHK musically is a
bloody mess to me. If they would have wrapped it up after the
Presence of the Night section it could have been (IMO of
course)... right there with prog's GREATEST recordings. As
it is... it's meerly one of the greats. Then again shortening it might
ruin it...who knows. Anyway I think Supper's Ready is stronger
musically but that's just me.
The 'bloody mess' part to you is what makes it the greatest ever prog
epic, to me. Are you sure you've heard it enough times? I love both,
but think Supper's Ready is a bit of a mess. Ha-ha.
Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me
