gudbuytjane Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) 1 Selling England By The Pound2 Foxtrot3 Duke4 The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway5 A Trick of The Tail The first two are essentially a tie for me. Selling England edges out Foxtrot slightly because "The Cinema Show" is my favourite song by the band (though "Supper's Ready" is a close second). I don't get the Duke hate! It's the last mostly good Genesis album, IMO. While I probably couldn't hum the melody to "Cul-De-Sac" or "Man Of Our Times, " The "Duke Suite" is a great bit of music. "Duke's Travels/Duke's End" is one of my favourite Tony Banks moments. Lamb contains many of my favourite songs by the band, but overall I still find it kind of unfocused, over-long, and confusing. Still, songs like the title track, "In The Cage," "Back In NYC," and "Carpet Crawlers" are so essential I can deal with occasionally nodding off during side three (and cringing my way through "it"). I really like Trick of The Tail, though honestly I prefer live versions to any of the studio originals. The "Dance On A Volcano"/"Drum Duet"/"Los Endos" medley they closed shows with (from 77 until 81 I think) definitely benefited from the energy of live performance. "Squonk," too, is always so much heavier live. (Oh, and although I love him as a drummer, I think the choice of Bill Bruford for backup drummer on the Tail tour was a mistake. His style just didn't fit the band. When Chester Thompson came on for the W&W tour late 70's Genesis really comes together for me.)
