I know the Genesis favorite albums ranking thing has already been done on other threads, but why don't we rank them up by sets this time. Some years back they put out the studio albums in several box sets (excluding the disowned first album that they probably don't have the rights to). They were grouped by years as 1970-75(green box set - 5 albums), 1976-1982(blue box set - 5 albums) and 1983-1998(red box set - 4 albums). They also put out a box set for the live albums (black box set). Here's how I rank them by sets:
BOX SET 1970-!975
1) Selling England By The Pound
2) Lamb
3) Trespass
4) Foxtrot
5) Nursery Cryme
6) From Genesis To Revelation (not part of the box set, no, but hey...)
BOX SET 1976-1982
1) Wind & Wuthering
2) Abacab
3) Duke
4) And Then They Were Three
5) Trick Of The Tale
spot 4 & 5 are evenly tied for me and could easily switch places. Today, it's Three at 4 and Trick at 5.
BOX SET 1983 - 1998
1) We Can't Dance
2) Invisible Touch
3) Genesis/Shapes
4) Calling All Stations
LIVE BOX SET 1973-1992
1) Seconds Out
2) Three Sides Live
3) Live At The Rainbow
4) The Way We Walk
5) Genesis Live
the live set is a little harder to rank, and could easily be 100% different tomorrow.
How do you rank 'em by groups?
