From the first album I purchased, loved, adored and still love to this day. It provides a musical testament to my geeky, nerdy swat school life. It is, in my opinion, the best Genesis album. I really do love it!
Saw Genesis as a triple bill with Van Der Graff Generator and Bell and Arc at the Caird Hall in Dundee must have been around 1970. Photographed Phil Collins many years later and mentioned this to which he replied "and the tickets were only 3/6". Didn't remind him that the hall (which is massive) was nearly empty and people kept leaving all the way through. I was sixteen and loved it.

@Bukowski I might dig it out for a listen. Still love Trespass though...

Peter Gabriel-era Genesis has really grown on me lately. I agree with @Bukowski that this is their best album.

First Genesis record I ever heard whilst babysitting for parents friend. I like it.

Any song that mentions hairy nostrils is worth remembering if only for that.

@adrian4acn Dig out 'Foxtrot' while you are there.

@adrian4acn @Section42L Don't forget 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway'.
