Topic: Genesis Studio Albums - Best To Worst Posted: June 29 2017 at 05:23 |
1. SEBTP - (Best Symphonic Prog release ever?) 2. Foxtrot - Suppers Ready! (How many have tried to copy and fail?) 3=. Nursery Cryme / Trespass (Such use of 12 strings - uniquely English!) 5. The Lamb - Prog Rock Opera at its best 6. W&W (including IAO) - Saved by Hacketts/Banks genius 7. TOTT (saved by Hackett/Banks) The rest of the rubbish isn't progressive rock.......discuss elsewhere you NUMPTIES!!!

1. Foxtrot 2. Nursery Cryme 3. Selling England... 4. The Lamb... 5. A Trick... 6. Trespass 7. Wind &... 8. Duke
From this point on, it really doesn't matter. All are well below standard and the order is secondary, but since you asked:
9. And Then... 10. we Can't Dance 11. Abacab 12. Genesis 13. From Genesis... 14. Call All... 15. Invisible Touch

I've never tried this before but here it goes(not counting live albums or spot the pigeon(which I've never heard anyway).
1. A trick of the tail 2. Selling England by the Pound 3. Wind and Wuthering 4. Nursery Cryme 5. Foxtrot 6. Trespass 7. Duke 8. Lamb lies down on broadway 9. And then there were three 10. Abacab 11. Invisible Touch 12. From Genesis To Revelation (very under rated imo) 13. Genesis (shapes) 14. Calling all stations 15. We Can't Dance
Up until typing this list just now I usually had trick and wind and as my first and second favorite respectively but I decided to make my former number one(which was number one for a very long time)my number two album(SEBTP). The lamb is good but a tad under rated imo. I think like Tales it would have made a great single album.

Here's my opinion:
5 stars 1. Foxtrot 2. Selling England By the Pound 3. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway 4. Trick of the Tail 5. Trespass 6. Nursery Cryme
4 stars 7. Wind & Wuthering 8. And then there were three 9. Duke
3 stars 10. Calling All Stations 11. We Can't Dance 12. Genesis Shapes 13. From Genesis to Revelation
2 stars 14. Abacab 15. Invisible Touch
I agree that Invisible Touch is their weakest album.

Hi Steve. I know you and I'm sure about "this very very small mistake (I can't find better word). I think you put Trespass as . Prdone me .
Your list is very similar to mine and I don't repeat (With this Quote I repeat that 2 times ) this list. Your list is enough .

Respect your opinion, Lion', but don't hold with all of it. To put Wind and Wuthering, a bravura epic (sans Your Own Special Way) and Hackett's swan song, so far down the list (edged out by Invisible Touch?) before relegating Duke and Abacab to the status of "Ok" with both sitting just above (gasp) We Can't Dance kind of negates your deft critique of the first six items on the list.
