Anything Now was a deplorable B-Side off a single from Calling All Stations. Ant’s just ****ing with you.

Can't do a bottom ten because I stopped buying new stuff in the mid 80s.

Can't do a top ten either because for me it's all about the albums. Each of their best discs have a unique vibe both composition wise and production wise. They each their own atmosphere. A BEST OF album of 70s Genesis would sound so disjointed IMO.

Picking top five albums is also impossible becasue they evolved so much from album to album. How do you put Foxtrot ahead of W&W or Lamb ahead of Selling England?

My top fave albums in no order? That I can do.

Foxtrot
Selling England
Lamb
W&W
Trick of the Tail

Honorable mention: Side one of Duke.

Yeah it's definitely hard. On another day, with more time, the whole ten would probably change.
