I grew up listening to their 83 self titled, so that was the image of Genesis I had in my head throughout my teen years. That's a pretty good album, if you ask me...but once I learned good ol Philly Collins wasn't the original frontman, I had to check it out...especially since I was on a huge progressive rock kick. The first song I checked out was "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight"...it was pretty epic so Selling England By the Pound became my first Gabriel era Genesis album. It is still my favorite to this day...though Foxtrot and the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway are definitely up there, too.

Firth of Fifth pumps me the **** up every time I listen to it. From the piano intro to the solo that mirrors the flute line...oh man, it's an eargasm every time.
