I'm relatively new here so I have a lot of catching up to do with viewing the fascinating and entertaining "Make Your Own Album" threads. I noticed Keneth Levine and Flower King Crimson have posted threads on the same theme too, including some of my favourite prog artists, such as Mike Oldfield, Yes, King Crimson,  The Moody Blues, Camel & Renaissance, amongst others, so I'm looking forward to putting my own albums together on those threads too. I'm going to make a start on listening to all of my old Genesis albums again tonight, beginning with my favourite Genesis album, "From Genesis To Revelation". That seems like as good a place as any to begin listening. Smile 
 
My Top 5 Genesis albums:-
 
1. From Genesis to Revelation
2. Selling England by the Pound
3. Trespass
4. Nursery Cryme
5. Foxtrot

I came across this thread for the first time today. I'm a big fan of Genesis in the Peter Gabriel era and I love the idea of picking one favourite track from each of eight albums to make up a compilation album. I'll have to give my old Genesis albums another listen though before deciding on my final choice of songs, so I'll come up with my selections later in the week.
This is going to be so much fun. Smile 
 
@Argo2012:- Looking through your old posts, I noticed you've posted quite a few of these "Make Your Own Album" threads, so I'm very much looking forward to contributing to those album selection threads too in due course. Smile

Let me rework this so it looks more like a proper album rather than a chronological list 

1. The Musical Box
2. One for the Vine
3. Entangled
4. Stagnation
5. Can Utility and the Coastliners
6. Burning Rope
7. The Cinema Show
8. The Colony of Slippermen

2. The Musical Box
3. Can Utility and the Coastliners
4. The Cinema Show
5. The Colony of Slippermen

These would not be good all together in the same album but they're my favorites from each album.

The Musical Box
The Cinema Show
The Lamia
One For The Vine
Mad Man Moon
Supper's Ready (Live Seconds Out)

These would be better off together in one single album.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (Live Seconds Out)
The Return Of The Giant Hogweed
One For The Vine
Can-Utility and the Coastliners
The Cinema Show
Los Endos

1. The Waiting Room
2. White Mountain
3. Horizons
4. Twilight Alehouse (Genesis Archive)
5. After the Ordeal
6. Fountain of Salmacis
7. Los Endos
8. ...In That Quiet Earth

EDIT: I edited this playlist and changed the order to put Fountain of Salmacis first, as given below. That gave the beginning a little more punch. The end of the last song, ...In That Quiet Earth, needs to be edited to fade out at the end.

1. The Fountain of Salmacis
2. The Waiting Room
3. White Mountain
4. Horizons
5. Twilight Alehouse (Genesis Archive)
6. After the Ordeal
7. Los Endos
8. ...In That Quiet Earth

Genesis is more of a songs band to me than an album band (even their prog era). I'd say:

Supper's Ready
Counting Out Time
Dancing with the Moonlit Knight
One for the Vine
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight
White Mountain
Duchess
Mama

Ok!

OKOKOK - I picked an "alltime" favorite from each album, without thinking how they would fit together. But if I was introduced to Genesis with this 71 minute long CD-collection back in the day I know I would be completely blown away (I really love that track from their debut album):

In the Beginning
The Musical Box
White Mountain
Dancing With The Moonlit Knight
Fly On A Windshield
Dance On A Volcano
One For The Vine
Supper's Ready
