I even have that same album 💿 on cd 💿 Christmas 🎅🏻🎄album I love ❤️ it.

Trick of the tail is my fav. You nailed it. I like trespaas and would have it a bit higher and above some of the later pop albums

I completely agree re Abacab; I see it rated quite highly in lists (even by people who prefer the Gabriel era) and maybe I'm missing something but apart from Keep it Dark, it's not for me.

Do you think it would be possible for their live albums to ever get pressed like swans are dead or we rose from your bed

I don't get this. How can you have Selling England as no1 and then Trick of the Tail as no 9? They are twin albums, both masterpieces. And Lamb no 6?!??? I just hope Peter Gabriel doesn't see your list. Poor bugger might get a heart attack.

Great ranking and insight on every Genesis album. you definitely won’t agree with some of my placements but here’s mine: 15. Calling All Stations 14. Genesis 13. From Genesis To Revelation 12. We Can’t Dance 11. Abacab 10. Invincible Touch 9. And Then There Were Three 8. Duke 7. A Trick of The Tail 6. Trespass 5. Wind And Wuthering 4. Foxtrot 3. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 2. Nursery Cryme 1. Selling England By The Pound

1) trick of the tail 2) wind and the withering 3) lamb lies down 4)duke 5)and then there were 3 6) foxtrot 7) selling england 8)genesis 9) Abacab 10)nursery cryme 11)invisible touch 12)we can’t dance 13) trespass 14)calling all stations 15)from genesis to revelation

Glad to see From Genesis to Revelation get a bit of respect on your rundown. Obviously it has its flaws but absolutely nowhere near as bad as some people believe. The Conquerer is phenomenal.

Thank you, very nice listening and I agree on most you say :) please continue!

At last... a knowledgeable guy who's close to my picks :o)) Brave to have The Lamb so low but I agree. Can't see Trespass quite that high, but totally agree about post 1980 stuff. I'd have 'Trick' higher, same with ATTW3 and Duke, partly because the latter were the ones that got me into them. Have you checked out 'The Musical Box' on the Midnight Special... Gabriel with the make-up and old man prosthetics? That's something else!

I agree 100% about SEBTP. It is as close to the most perfect and complete prog album ever made, so it has to be the best Genesis ever produced. Perhaps the only album that showcased all of the best parts of the band working well at once, very much including Gabriel even though large parts of the album had none of him on it. LLDOB was great but to me a double album has to be almost twice as good as a single album and it is certainly not twice as good as any of the rest. To be honest after Hackett left I lost interest in the band. They produced some great pop music after and some of it was worth a listen, but they never really got whatever it was back. They got away with losing a 5th but never really recovered from losing 2/5ths.

Genesis is my favorite band up to Wind & Wuthering they were still listenable up to Duke after that I lost intrest in anything after, they became a pop/soul band and a sell-out. I understand "most" people prefer their newer stuff the type of people that like something to dance to something nice and bouncy or something to have while listening to the radio while driving...Genesis took a hard right in their musical style and lost most of their early audience me included. I mean Motown horns in Genesis? Come on. My ranking would be: #1 Foxtrot. #2 Nursery Cryme #3 Selling England By The Pound 4# A Trick Of The Tail #5 Wiind & Wuthering #6The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway #7 Trespass #8 And Then There Were Three #9 Duke ...and I'd include Invisible Touch because it has a lot of Prog elements in it so #10 For Invisible Touch the rest 👎👎

Great ranking list, I respect your opinions and I’ll show you my ranking list to prove how different our opinions are!! 😁👍 Favourite to least: 1. “Abacab” (1981). 2. “Duke” (1980). 3. “A Trick of the Tail” (1976). 4. “Genesis” (1983). 5. “Selling England by the Pound” (1973). 6. “Foxtrot” (1972). 7. “Invisible Touch” (1986). 8. “Nursery Cryme” (1971). 9. “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” (1974). 10. “We Can’t Dance” (1991). 11. “And Then There Were Three” (1978). 12. “Wind & Wuthering” (1976). 13. “Trespass” (1970). 14. “Calling All Stations” (1997). 15. “From Genesis to Revelation” (1969). Let me know what you think and keep up the great content!! 😌👍

Very good rank! I appreciate a lot you place the big overrated ATTOT behind Wind & Wuthering. As to me me : 1) Foxtrot 2) The Lamb 3) Selling England 4) Trespass 5) Nursery 6) W&W 7) AToTT 8) Duke.

1 Lamb 2 selling 3 a trick

Wow, your opinion on From Genesis to Revelation is wild!! I also love the album, but it's either this one or Calling my station my least favorite. Also, Trespass is brilliant!!

Calling all station song is not bad...Trick of the tail and Then there were three are absolute killers.

I agree with your comment about nursery crime being a good starting point. That's where I started along with foxtrot. Pretty much at the same time. I found a double album collection released by Buddha records that had both the albums in it.

I only like a select few songs on the lamb and of those, the chamber of 32 doors is my favorite.

All it took for me to hate abacab was hearing the horn section. That was such a turn off.

Yeah, sure! To me, Selling England by the Pound - as Hackett has frequently acclaimed - is the best album Genesis has made - and, once again, to my understanding, it could have been THE BEST ALBUM IN ROCK PROG HISTORY if not for More Fool Me which brings too little to the genre. The Cinema Show is perfect, but personally, I think that not including Hackett in the instrumental part, is hard to forgive! Cheers and thanks for sharing!

Lamb, Selling and Foxtrot are my top 3

IMHO, some great Genesis LP that I loved in my youth (Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot) didn’t age so well. On the contrary Selling England and The Lamb are just great as they were, and also Trespass still is a fresh and rewarding listen. Thing is that some songs like Hogweed has been a bit overrated and the production is quite muddy all over. To my advice top Genesis LPs are The lamb/Selling England, Wind & Wuthering comes second Trick/Trespass third. Seconds out is by a long mile the best live LP.

"Wind And Wuthering" is my number 1 !

The problem with the Cinema Show is that it predicts Genesis' future trio: collins, banks, rutherford, which to me marred all the previous work with Gabriel and Hackett. Selling England by the Pound would have maybe been the greatest album EVER if not for that instrumental part from Cinema Show showing Banks, Collins and Rutherford's arrogance of dismissing Gabriel and Hackett; and of course the inclusion of the most boring song (entangled, afterglow, ripples are runners up) in rocks history: more fool me

Wind and Wuthering is my #1 and one of my 'island' albums (if I were stranded on a desert island...)

SEBTP is amazing. I used to work at the Fine Fare supermarket referred to in the Moonlit Knight. Farmers Fire Escapes were a huge company in South London. For the record, Cinema Show is loosely based on The Waste Land by the poet TS Eliot.

Some rankings have abacab very high even as high as no.1,I thinks it's awful apart from great title track,me and Sarah Jane is dreadful,other songs nearly as bad

Uncle Jake, what would be your favourite solo Genesis member album?

I also appreciate Genesis to Revelation. It is one of the most relaxing albums out there. Apart from the less than stellar drumming, everything else about Trespass is superb. For me though, The Lamb has always been my favorite. A great list. Cheers.

Would love to see your top 20 Genesis songs

What you said about A Trick of the Tail (as far as it not being cohesive goes) is actually how I feel about Wind and Wuthering. ATOTT is actually my number one. We all hear things differently though.

Genesis are one of the biggest prog rock bands of all time along with Pink Floyd, Yes, King Crimson and Rush. I always find these lists interesting even if I don't always agree with them.

I had always written off Abacab just because of the general consensus that it wasn’t that good but I’ve started listening to it more this year and it has jumped much higher in my own rankings. Dodo is an incredible song especially live and the same with Keep It Dark. The album does seem a bit confused, it doesn’t really know whether it’s pop or pop-rock or prog but it’s that mix that just makes the album very unique and likeable to me.

Nice review, not the easiest of jobs, I think Wind and Wuthering is possibly the sleeper in the pack and I have to say I enjoy We Can't Dance, has some epic moments

all ok but the lamb at nr 6...

Great job. U should do this for a living!! You know your shit!!!

60 YEARS AGO THIS DAY IN MUSIC HISTORY US BILLBOARD HOT 100 WEEK OF AUGUST 31, 1963 NEW ON NUMBER 90 PEAKED NUMBER 2 "Be My Baby" is a song by American girl group the Ronettes that was released as a single on Philles Records in August 1963. Written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, and Phil Spector, the song was the Ronettes' biggest hit, reaching number 2 in the U.S. and number 4 in the UK. It is often ranked as among the best songs of the 1960s, and it is regarded by some as one of the greatest songs of all time. Spector produced "Be My Baby" at Gold Star Studios with his de facto house band, later known as "the Wrecking Crew". It marked the first time that he recorded with a full orchestra, and the song is regarded as the quintessential example of his Wall of Sound recording technique. Ronnie Spector (then known as Veronica Bennett) is the only Ronette that appears on the track. In 1964, it appeared on the album Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes. In the decades since its release, "Be My Baby" has been played on radio and television over 3 billion times. The song has influenced many artists, most notably the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, who wrote the 1964 hit "Don't Worry Baby" as a response to "Be My Baby". Many others have replicated or recreated the drum phrase-one of the most recognizable in pop music. The song has returned to the U.S. top 40 via cover versions by Andy Kim and Jody Miller. In 2006, the Library of Congress inducted the Ronettes' recording into the United States National Recording Registry. In 1999, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2004, it was ranked number 22 on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time", where it was described as a "Rosetta stone for studio pioneers such as the Beatles and Brian Wilson." It was also ranked number 22 on the list's 2021 edition. In 2006, it was ranked number 6 on Pitchfork's list of "The 200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s". In 2011, it was included in Time's list of the "All-Time 100 Songs". In 2014, it was ranked number 2 on NME's list of the "100 Best Songs of the 1960s". In 2017, the song topped Billboard's list of the "100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time".
