The first time with Peter Gabriel

Saw this linked on PG's facebook page and thought that since there are so many fellow fans here...

Indeed not, Peter Gabriel sure knows his Genesis.

For me, in this order: Selling England by The Pound, Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme, Trick Of The Tail, Trespass. I was never a real fan of The Lamb Lies Down although others rate it as the best. Phil Collins era Genesis is just 'different', more pop than prog

There is a nice triple CD set (around £15) called the Platinum Collection which gives you a very good selection, starting with the later stuff and getting better (my opinion) as it progresses back to the earlier albums

The Firth Of Fifth is stunning and as Graham knows, Suppers Ready has it all. The flute section in the former and the finale of the latter get the hairs on my neck every time . They are both in this collection too

Given your comments Stuart, Trick Of The Tail is a fabulous album but the first after Peter Gabriel departed so Phil Collins is on vocals all the way through. It still has Steve Hackett though, as does Wind & Wuthering. It's really after these two that things changed dramatically
