A very difficult one this. As my favourite band, the order changes all the time (except for my number one, which is always the same), and the list I give now is in no way set in stone.
For today though:
 
1) The Lamb (fave album of all time)
2) Nursery Cryme
3) A Trick Of The Tail
4) Selling England By The Pound
5) Foxtrot
6) Trespass
7) Wind And Wuthering
8) Duke
9) And Then There Were Three
 
And the rest - nowhere! Wink

I will only say about SEBTP that "Firth of fifth"'s instrumental section has some of the most BEAUTIFUL music ever this side of classical music, the way Hackett plays the same melody as Gabriel did on flute, that moment gives me the chills....spectacular.

The albums I have in order:
 
Trick of the Tail
 
Selling England by the Pound
 
Nursery Chryme
 
Foxtrot
 
Live
 
From Genesis to Revelations - massively underrated album IMO
 
Wind and Wuthering
 
And Then There Were Three
 
Trespass - Vastly overrated IMO. I love White Mountain, really enjoy Visions of Angels and The Knife, but find the rest of the album pretty bland.
 
Only other album I'm interested in obtaining is Lamb.

I agree. For the core albums, the reasons are subtle. There are just some I like to listen to more than others. "From Genesis to Revelation" just has a charming quality to it, and makes me like it more than some others.

I disagree. SEBTP is the one album that IMO dosn't belong in a graetest prog top 10. Gabriel's phoney accents is a put off for starters. Banks's solo on Cinema Show is overlong and meandering & apart from Hackett's solo on Firth Of Fifth his guitar playing is not impressive.
 
Just my oppinion.

I like his theatrics, it was a natural extension of what the Beatles started and influenced Roger Water's pomp showmanship on the Wall.
