Genesis


Any long time Genesis (with or without Peter Gabriel) fans out there? What's your favorite albums?

I agree with @rick_n.

SEbtP  & TotT

If the Lamb was two sides instead of four, it could be a contender. 

 

Seconds Out

saw their farewell concert. Phil sat on a stool the whole concert. It was a great show despite Phil’s physical limitations and without Gabriel.

Just like @mapman , “ I became a Genesis fan early on when I picked up a copy of Genesis Live in the $1.99 budget bin”. Then I bought Selling England By the Pound - still my favorite.  For the collins era it’s a toss up between Trick of the Tale, and Wind and Wuthering.  I like every one of the Gabriel albums a lot. Some of the Collins albums get too pop for me.  How about “Calling all Stations”? If it had Steve Hacket playing on it it would have been great.

I've been a big fan since I saw them play at my college gym in early 1973 on the 'Foxtrot' tour. Seen and photographed them many times since then.

I seem to be the only Genesis fan who doesn't rate 'Selling England' very high in my faves; 'Dancing with the Moonlit Knight' is awesome and as good as anything they've ever done, and 'Cinema Show' and 'Firth of Fifth' are both very good, but the rest I never need to hear again. I'm not dissing it; I wish I enjoyed it as much as everybody else!

Fave Peter album - "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"

Fave Phil album - "Trick of the Tail"

Funny. I also found Genesis Live in the discount bin. The live version of Watcher of the skies is great. I appreciate the Gabriel era most. So for me Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England and Lamb are the best. "Return of the Giant Hogweed" and  "Suppers Ready" are two of my all time faves.
