That said, everything they did with Peter Gabriel and the first couple with Phil Collins, that's all you need.

I know what i like (in your wardrobe)
One For The Vine
Should be enough to get you into them. They aren't my favorite prog band, I dig 'em, but not top of the list.

You'll like 'em for sure from the listed bands, but they're no King Crimson.

It was the album that made me realize I liked Genesis.

| I'd rather buy "Duke" and "Abacab" than "From Genesis To Revelation". They maybe more pop but there's plenty of great songs on both. |

Very few can pull both off in the course of a career. |

One of my fav all time albums but not really the best starting point to my mind, takes a bit of getting used to and more of an ending point. The LAMB is absolutely great but not really too much like any other Genesis album, kinda their peak for me. If you do go with Live, listen only at night with good headphones.
