Not too sure about that. There are lots of fans that prefer the later stuff to the earlier stuff. There are fans who hate anything after Gabriel left. The horrors! They went more pop! I like lots from 1970 to 1992. Even the "pop" stuff! Anyway, my ranking: 15. From Genesis to Revelation 14. Calling All Stations 13. Trespass 12. Nursery Crymes 11. We Can't Dance 10. And then There Were Three 9. Fox Trot 8. Genesis 7. Lamb Lies Down (lots of good stuff, lots not so good) 6. Invisible Touch 5. Abacab (highly underrated and misunderstood) 4. Duke 3. Selling England by the Pound 2. Wind and Wuthering 1. Trick of the Tail From 11 on the rankings can always change

@@TheProgCorner I'm 59. Duke was my introduction to Genesis. Then came Abacab. Friend of mine introduced me to TOTT, W&W and And then there were 3. Liked everything heard. Genesis album sinched it that Genesis was my favorite band and it's remained that way. Didn't always like some of the earlier stuff but lots has grown on me. In the Cage (which I think Collins does a better job singing than Gabriel). Carpet Crawlers, Watcher of the Skies, It, Fountains of Salmacis are some of my early favorites. I also love Gabriel and Collins solo stuff as well as Mike and the Mechanics. I don't think any band (including the Beatles) has produced more in total than Genesis and the solo stuff. Some of the best musicians of any band. Banks one of the top keyboardists, Collins one of the top drummers, Hackett a very good guitarist of which there are so many, and I think Rutherford is one of the most underrated guitarists/basists in music. I like new Genesis. I like old Genesis. Their concerts are amazing. For years Home By the Sea is one of my favorite live songs, but recently Abacab (in particular the 1987 Wembely performance) is just out of this world. It is a musical delight to the ears!

Well, Genesis is certainly part of my holy trinity, and I've always lamented that "Calling all Stations" is so disregarded, because it seems to me that if this had been recorded by another band, the reactions would have been quite different. Not to mention some of the B-Sides (Anything Now), too. But I am also able to understand why there are these reactions, though de gustibus...:) Just for quick reference (I've never actually done a thorough ranking), with me it would look like this: 15. Abacab, 14. From Genesis to Revelation, 13. We can't dance, 12. Trespass, 11. Invisible Touch, 10. Duke, 9. Nursery Crime, 8. Calling all Stations, 7. Genesis, 6. The Lamb.... 5./4. And then there were three... / Wind and Wuthering, 3./2. Selling England by the Pound / Foxtrot, 1. A Trick of the Tail. Though I'm not that sure with the first three...today I would place them all on the pole, tomorrow maybe I'll change it aso. aso. Nevertheless the first one is just something else, a beginning,, Abacab for me is a misunderstanding (There must me some kind of misunderstanding...), the rest is outstanding (of course not every album is pure prog though I respect also clever pop). But as always, great clip, great ranking - sheer pleasure to watch You! Cheers from Cracow in Poland!

15. From Genesis to Revelation (Only album I don't care for) 14. Abacab (4 really good songs, rest were annoying or dull) 13. We Can't Dance (Like the above, though with fewer annoying songs) 12. Calling All Stations (I didn't find any of the songs to be grating, and The Dividing Line actually kicks ass) 11. Shapes (First side is peak 80s Genesis, then falls of a cliff aside from Silver Rainbow) 10. And Then There Were Three (Solid throughout, but lacks any real standouts) 9. Foxtrot (Blasphemy! First half to me feels rather weak by the standard of the golden era, and Supper's Ready doesn't fully hit its stride for me until the last 8 minutes) 8. Invisible Touch (It's just an excellent pop album to me, one of the best in the genre) 7. Trespass (I've been liking this one a lot recently. If things keep up, I could put this at number 5 in a few months) 6. Wind and Wuthering (Very good all round, though kind of a messier version of Trick of The Tail) 5. Duke (Fantastic prog-pop album, it's the go to one for me to suggest if someone is looking to get into them) 4. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Consistently very good, though perhaps a bit bloated) 3. Nursery Cryme (In masterpiece territory now, every song slaps hard) 2. Selling England By The Pound (Has the greatest stuff that Genesis ever did, but More Fool Me and Epping Forest drag it back into the #2 spot for me) 1. Trick of The Tail (Possibly the most consistently excellent album I have heard. Every song hits the mark, and is paced wonderfully) Something that I find curious about Genesis album rankings is that there seems to be more of a general consensus compared to other prog bands about which ones rank highly and which lower down, even if people would have my head for putting Invisible Touch above Foxtrot.

I belong to the age group that was born in the early eighties. I didn't know the early Genesis albums when I was a kid. My father was a big Phil Collins fan and I also really liked Phil Collins' music. However, I discovered the old Genesis later in my teenage years. Since then, I know what progressive music is, and I dug into it very deeply. And then I have a message for all the snobs who hate Phil Collins just because he made more popular music. That if Phil Collins had not popularized Genesis, the later generation would never have known the old Genesis. I am an example of that. So you shouldn't hate it, but be happy that he made the band better known.

Duke is amazing but frankly it is a Phil's personal problems album, but a great magical album. Duke Suite indeed bro. Trespass was my first Genesis Album, brilliant, I love Wind & Wuthering is calm album but very romantic and not as original as Trick of the Tail . Nursery, Foxtrot and Selling are similar and absolute master works, no comparison. The Lamb is an Opera of Rock edged into time, cannot be matched and tell me : " Can you tell me where my Country lays?"

Man, you're the best! That was fun. Brought back so many fond memories. My journey with Genesis started with "Trespass", and like you with "Genesis Live", I stumbled across it in my local record store not knowing a thing about them either. That's how it was back then, living in The States of course. Little did I know at the time just how impactful that purchase would become, it literally opened a whole other world for me. Think that was 1971 when I was in my late teens. Overall, my favorite Genesis albums are the Gabriel years as well, though I love TOTT & W&W too. Best way for me to rank them is based on just how often I return to them. That being said, here are my top five: 1. SEBTP 2. Foxtrot 3. TLLDOB 4. W&W 5. TOTT. One last thing Scott. You mentioned the incredible ending to W&W as one of their great moments. With that being said, here's something especially for your listening/viewing pleasure.

What a beautiful world where some people love stuff I don't! Tier 1: Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot. Magic so thick you couldn't cut it with Excalibur. No greater albums exist. Tier 1A: Selling England By the Pound. Could have made it but for "The Battle of Epping Forest" which got so theatrical that it forgot to be a song. Firth of Fifth may be their masterpiece. Tier 2: ...And Then There Were Three and Duke. With both PG and SH gone, they knew they had to find a new sound and what a sound! Tier 3: A Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering. Great albums, but suffer slightly from the forlorn attempt to be the same band without Gabriel. These two are at their best on the ballads, "Entangled," "Ripples," "Blood On the Rooftops," "Afterglow." Also Trespass. All the greatness that was to come, just not quite fully realized yet. Tier 4: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Lord knows I've tried, but I can't make any sense out of this thing; some great music on it, namely, the stuff Hackett still plays, but otherwise, with apologies, I just can't. Also, From Genesis to Revelation. Nothing special, but quite listenable. Tier 5: Everything after Duke. Don't know, don't care. Most of the hits are bad enough to make me not buy the albums. An exception being "ABACAB," an awesome song that would have been a great addition to Duke. Never fear, my Yes tiers will be just as unpopular!

Whereas the story is important, its the music that comes first. And it is the music on 'The Lamb' that is absolutely incredible. Gabriel's singing is at its peak here too. I've never understood why some people have a problem with sides three and four. Side three is possibly my favorite side of Genesis music. I would place 'Trespass' above 'Wind and Wuthering' but its a close thing. Apart from that, your list is identical to mine. I still liked the band after Gabriel left but their narrative content suffered. Cheers.

I am a freak...a prog freak! I mostly agree with your ranking, but I will give you my 2 cents. First off, the Gabriel era ranks at the top of my all time faves...that is, minus From Genesis To Revelation. That first disc is not good. Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering are practically as good as the Gabriel era discs. Absolutely love them! Here's where things go awry. Even though And Then There Were Three is a good slice of prog, it really misses Hackett...my all time favorite guitarist. Then the downhill slope steepens. From Duke and after I only go back and listen to the songs, Dukes Travels/Dukes End and Home By the Sea/Second Home by the Sea, and occasionally Keep it Dark. The "pop" Genesis threw me off the train. I actually think Calling All Stations is better than We Can't Dance. I despise that album. I don't like Invisible Touch and never go back to listen to it. On a final note... Mike Rutherford can't hold a candle to Hackett's guitar playing, and brass instruments, other than the sax family, well, I just don't like them. You did a great ranking!

I do disagree for Casting all Stations. Wilson is a fantastic singer. Yes, it is nothing but typical Genesis and by that I mean "Old" Genesis before it became Phil Collins band. Up to then we were three and Duke , Abacab was already nothing up my sleeve, thank God today we have Hackett doing Genesis revisited I saw it live twice. But then my brother what sounds like Genesis, the crap they put out after Abacab????

Hadn't seen this. Pretty right on in my book. I agree #1 and #2 are tough to rank, but for me it's Foxtrot simply because of Supper's Ready. As a whole album and body of work, then yes, Lamb. The other thing I'll mention...Calling All Stations. We play almost EVERY track from that album in rotation at Prog Radio. Why you may ask? Because when you hear just one song, mixed in with hundreds of other bands, you realize the songs are quite good. I think it gets a bad rap because it wasn't Phil or Peter, but if you aren't expecting that, and just listen to each song on its own, you may have a different opinion of them. For example, if all those songs had come out on a Ray Wilson album, with Tony and Mike as guest musicians, you'd probably think, "Wow, what a cool Ray Wilson album!" Keep listening to Prog Radio and when one pops up, you'll see what I mean.

Lamb Lies Down (all good even the Waiting Room because of what follows....) Its unfair to say Phil sings some of the Gabriel songs better than Gabriel because audio wise technology improved the sound massively after Trick of The Tail. An exception in audiology is Selling England by the Pound which sounded streets ahead of Live and LLDOB, strangely enough....

A really interesting concert to hear is Genesis live ..a FM Broadcast recorded at Zurich Hallenstadian , Zurich , Switzerland, in July of 1977. The Wind And Wuthering tour. ...which hardly anything from the Wind And Wuthering album was performed live on Seconds Out. ...but this concert in Zurich covers several interesting pieces from Wind and Wuthering. The sound quality is good!! Incredible!! Another fine show from a live FM broadcast is at Hammersmith Odeon, London...1976. Bruford and Collins are smokin on this... Its really worth buying these and particularly for this line up . Historically its a treasure you will always revisit...

My favorite Genesis album is the original Genesis Live, with Gabriel. The live recordings of the songs off Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot are better than the studio albums. For the classic early albums, this should be bought first. Just missing Supper's Ready. I don't really like Seconds Out with Collin's singing the Gabriel vocal parts on the older songs (even though he was often the harmony or octave part on those songs). Of course the band is always technically great.

Tis a good review, I enjoyed it. We agree on a few things - cept for me Nursery Cryme is the best. Duke is, yes, "trebly"! I had it when it first came out & was turned off by it. The trebly-ness. At the time it sounded like cheap Casio robotic music with no bass. But a few years later I bought the cassette version of it and got hooked. It's still my most played Genesis record to this day.

I belong to the age group that was born in the early eighties. I didn't know the early Genesis albums when I was a kid. My father was a big Phil Collins fan and I also really liked Phil Collins' music. However, I discovered the old Genesis later in my teenage years. Since then, I know what progressive music is, and I dug into it very deeply. And then I have a message for all the snobs who hate Phil Collins just because he made more popular music. That if Phil Collins had not popularized Genesis, the later generation would never have known the old Genesis. I am an example of that. So you shouldn't hate it, but be happy that he made the band better known.

Genesis are rather easy to rank. You have a few obvious contenders for the top spot (Foxtrot, Selling England, A Trick of the Tail, Duke) and a few obvious contenders for the bottom of the barrel (From Genesis to Revelation, Calling All Stations) and all the others are interchangeable to a certain degree.

Hi Bud... I was weaned on mid era Genesis, went with them till they seemed to become Phil's backing group? At the same time I went backwards to their early stuff. Really love all formations but I'm not as 'proggy' as many. Sacrilege perhaps but I struggle with 'The Lamb', 'Selling England' for me the tops and I'd put Duke a bit higher and even A T T W 3. Much the same on the rest. Thanks.

The Genesis live album was the first thing I heard from them. A workmate lent it to me but another mate said they were terrible. I returned it the next day to him and went straight out and bought it. Told the mate who said they were no good that he must be mad. So I lent him my copy and he came back in next day gave me my copy back and went straight out and bought it. From then on we were mad on them. I ditched them after Wind and Wuthering as I missed Gabriel's voice and felt they were becoming a pop band.
