Incredible album that doesn't lose steam anywhere in its runtime. Very engaging, gorgeous and just top-notch prog

Stand-outs: Dancing with the Moonlit Night, Firth of Fifth, The Battle of Epping Forest, The Cinema Show
Genesis - Foxtrot
3.

Supper's Ready is my favorite song of all time and the other side is also incredible. Doesn't quite hold up to Selling England though.

Stand-outs: Get 'Em Out By Friday, Can-Utility and the Coastliners, Supper's Ready
Genesis - Nursery Cryme
4.

Great early album with tons of amazing ideas. The sound is just way more fleshed out in the following few albums

Stand-outs: The Musical Box, The Return of the Giant Hogweed, The Fountain of Salmacis
Genesis - A Trick of the Tail
5.
