The Lamb.
Possibly it's because I like "Darker" music more, so Nursery Cryme
and The lamb win out for me because they just move me so much
more...I'm really not sure but I feel left out and lonely =( |
Maybe. For me, Foxtrot is definitely best at its most whimsical (Can-Utility, Willow Farm, etc). I'll agree that Nursery Cryme is a more consistent album, but neither is anything less than a quintessential slice of PG-era Genesis.

^^^yes i just think that nursery cryme not only has more consistant music (I've always felt that watcher of the skies felt "sloppy") but it also has a much more consistent mood; at least to me. Anyways it's my favorite. I was a little harsh on Foxtrot, i listened to it this morning and i still don't think much of it but I mean it's not a 2 star. I'd give it three. Good, but non-essential to me. I think later today I'll review these albums maybe...there's nothing else to do and usually when I review (I do so as I listen to an album usually) some new light is shed on certain pieces--so it might be well worth it. Oh and, not to be nitpicky but um...it's Nursery Cr Yme

If only one Genesis recording to choose, it would be the live, Seconds Out.
You get the best of both Gabriel e.g Foxtrot and Hackett e.g Wind and Wurthering material

I voted Nursery Cryme too, and I agree with you king volta about Foxtrot - but for the opposite reason; apart from Supper's Ready, which I like a lot, I think the album's very lacklustre...

Yes, Supper's Ready is the best song on Foxtrot but I don't even think that that track is very good...
Also I have to give props to Trespass for being better than I at first thought it was (just listened to it again)

I'll say the Lamb because I never really absolutely loved Genesis until I listened to that recently.
And I don't really get the worshipping of SEBTP when it seems like the only songs that are absolutely loved on it are "Dancing," "Firth of Fifth," and "Cinema Show."

I don't think Cinema Show quite lives up to the hype but the rest of the album sure does. =) (Still 5 stars because Cinema Show is great it just goes on a tad bit too long in my opinion)

Of the Genesis albums I have, my rankings are
1. Foxtrot- Definitely my favorite, and not just because of Supper's Ready
2. Selling England by the Pound-A few weak songs, but still very good
3. Nursery Cryme-Just a tiny bit behind SEBTP, I actually think it's a bit stronger of an album, but I like SEBTP better.
4. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway-This is the only Genesis album I have that I don't love. It just sounds totally different from the other three. I think that all of the short songs sort of put me off. The album seems to focus more on the story than the music, which I don't care too much for. Of course, I haven't listened to it very much or very attentively, so hopefully I'll grow to like it.

I really like Nursery Cryme. Probably my favourite by them.

1. Selling England By The Pound (the best album of all times by any band/artist).
2. Foxtrot (close, but cannot quite match SETBP's conceptually perfection).
3. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (Also fantastic, almost beats Foxtrot, but has no songs that can fully match Supper's Ready).
4. Trespass (actually more pleasing than Nursery Cryme, fantastic guitar solo by Phillips on The Knife).
5. Nursery Cryme (Harold The Barrel points forward to the theatrical style of the 3 next albums, whereas The Musical Box is the highlight of the album. Very good, but cannot match Genesis' later concept albums).
6. A Trick Of The Tail (at this point Genesis has lost its fantastic and unique theatricality, but prove that they still can make beautiful progrock).
7. Wind And Wuthering (almost every bit as good as A Trick...).

I have to disagree with you there. Phil Collins just can't sing Supper's Ready, and the fantastic flute/guitar-interplay is also lost on this live version.
