To be fair Brad, suggesting that music doesn't necessarily resolve into a rigid hierarchy of objective greatness is pretty ruinous.

I haven't heard the first and last albums yet but nothing I've read has convinced me I should give them a shot.
A big thank you to the posters on here who've made me listen to the Collins era with an open mind. I was missing out on some really great music (especially Abacab).

the first album is really good if you're into '60s-era bee gees!

Stopped reading that list after the third entry, tbh.

Glad you found some new titles to enjoy. Turrican is toxic; pay him no mind -- i called him the new "Gier" but that's too good for his foul, over-bloated ego. Call him Turdican, or just Turd for short.

Yeah, I fucking love that track - both musically and lyrically. In fact, if we were to poll this band, all three of the Nursery Cryme epics would make it onto my ballot without hesitation.

I haven't heard it in many years but there are so many great parts I forgot about, listening to it now.

The swelling mellotron on the intro to 'The Fountain of Salmacis' is one of my favourite moments in a Genesis song ever, as well as the rocking out sections in 'The Musical Box' etc. etc. As much as I find Nursery Cryme, in a way, to be a bit of a dry run for Foxtrot, it's got some stunning moments on it. With a better production job it could have even been one of their best ever.

The early epics rock hardest on Genesis Live. Plus that album cover is one of my favourite rock images.

The shredding guitar solo bits on "Musical Box" feel a bit proto-Maiden to me.
