    The Best Of Genesis

    Sorry if this has been done before or to death, but I'm really interested in what Yes fans (who also like Genesis) consider to be their best album.

    Wind and Wuthering gets my vote. Also best cover and it's also in my all time top ten fav albums by anyone ever.

    Re: The Best Of Genesis

    1. Foxtrot
    2. Selling England

    Such a close run thing between those two.

    3. Nursery Cryme
    4. Trespass
    5. The Lamb

    Then a significant gap between the above and...

    6. Trick of the Tale
    7. Wind and Wuthering.

    Don't get me started on And Then There Were Three.

    Re: The Best Of Genesis

    Can't disagree with either of the above posts. Interesting comparisons can be made to Yes releases:

    Selling---CTTE
    Lamb----TFTO
    TOTT----GFTO

    Although there really isn't a Relayer record in the Genesis canon.

    I sort of love them all from NC up to W&W/ Seconds Out. Then, however, they become a another group.

    I love their whole career (surprise!)...


    Favorite is The Lamb followed very closely by Duke.

    I went with Foxtrot, but it was hard to say. I first wanted to go with Selling England......

    Obviously.

    Its production puts it streets ahead of Foxtrot and its production and coherence leaves The Lamb way back in the road, choking on its dust.

    She's an equal opportunity offender, a societal wildcard. You can't control her, only hope to contain her, even then she refuses to be possessed. If she were a coin, you would spend her, unwillingly. If she were an animal, you'd free her to the wilderness.

    Re: The Best Of Genesis

    Huge Genesis fan--go back and forth between Yes being number one and Genesis- currently Yes is best as they are more avant garde and crazy and original (fragile, Ctte, Tales, Relayer, GFTO)--But Genesis favs----Fav are Selling, Lamb, TOTT, WandW, DUke, Foxtrot, and three would be great with Hackett on it---
