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.
Genesis 1983 actually is a VERY good album. Still have the original vinyl.

PS your signature is one of my all time favorite songs!!
