Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.

OK, after consuming eleventeen beers last night, I spun a couple of albums I haven't played in ages - Duke, followed by Wind and Wuthering. Duke, despite the poor recording quality, is one of the bands most underated albums....sure it's a little glimpse of things to come as far as Phil Collins' dominating influence, but it's still an incredible album, and probably the last 'real' Genesis work before they became too commercial.
What are your top 3 Genesis albums and when was the last time you played one of them?....

There's old Genesis and new Genesis. I think the old songs have much more musical imagination, not to mention Gabriel's fascinating voice. Many are more like compostions than songs, too.

"Selling England by the Pound" is my favorite studio LP. Get that one, but also get "Seconds Out", excellent live renditions of many of the greatest ones. Plus, the drumwork by Chester Thompson and Bill Bruford (and Phil, of course) is something to hear.

Best Yes album: Close to the Edge (I couldn't resist).

Tvad, I think the title cut on CTTE was Yes's masterpiece and the entire album was their strongest overall. It's the only Yes album I have on CD! When I was listening to them a lot and playing some of their stuff in a band, CD's hadn't been invented. Same with Genesis.
