 Topic: Worst of the three great Genesis albums?
Posted: October 02 2010 at 13:02 |
Yes, another negative poll. I know how much you all love these, so I thought I'd make another. Which of the three do you think is the least good?
For me, Selling England by a spectacular margin.

Selling England isn't quite as even as the other two, so it gets my vote.

I'm not going to vote. I can't see the point of polls such as these, sorry.
I've had a spending splurge this last few weeks, and brought a pile of new prog. I've also started converting my vinyl to digital. I'm having a hell of a time either listening to either brand new prog, or revisiting stuff I haven't heard in ages.
Therefore, I probably won't listen to these three great albums for a while, but they will always hold a special place for me, bringing back the wonder of when I first heard them back in the distant past of the 1970's.
There is no worst of these three. They are all absolute classics that helped to shape the genre we love.

All masterpieces, so there is no "worst" indeed and maybe this poll is a candidate for a 'three worst polls'-poll.
Nevertheless I voted for Nursery Cryme because it's a little bit less amazing than the other two albums.

This. I don't think there's a "worst" out of these three, considering they are all equally amazing. Plus, I don't find anything about them dull. Each of these albums have a distinctive style to them and because of each album's uniqueness I appreciate all three.

Would you like some Bailey's?

Easy for me- I rated the earliest one four stars and the other two five stars. Nursery Cryme gets my vote here.

None of them are particularly special.
Although Nursery Cryme is the worst of the three

I love the three of them, but I think Selling England by the Pound is the album I get least enjoyment from the three.
Nursery Cryme has a spectacular mood and flow all through, though this was the album that took me a long time to appreciate as much as the others. Foxtrot has 5 tracks that vary from good to amazing, and the last track being the Genesis song.

That should win the prize for the most ridiculous post of the year. What you mean, preumably, is you don't like genesis, which is hardly the same thing

Foxtrot is my least favorite of the three, Supper's Ready aside, and so it got my vote.

Nursery doesn't sound polished as the other two, and I don't mean in terms of production.

I really can't see why SEBTP is "the best prog album ever" here.Foxtrot and nursery cryme are both way better than SEBTP and the lamb is also much better.

Vice versa for me. Because this was the first what I´ve ever heard from Genesis maybe.
