Genesis came way too late into my life, but I am so happy that I chose to start listening to them. This album is really close to my heart, and I would almost say that it's tied for the number one spot. No other band has perfected the art of ending albums on high notes, and this might be the best ending of any album I've ever heard.

With instant prog classics like Watcher of The Skies and Supper's Ready, and only one "filler" in Horizons, but still one of the most beautiful guitar songs from the 70s. Supper's Ready might be the best prog rock song ever made.

Maybe the most popular album from the Peter Gabriel era. With "pop" songs like I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) and More Fool Me, and prog classics like the opener Dancing With The Moonlit Knight, the magnificent Firth of Fifth and the ending The Cinema Show, this album works for nearly anyone no matter your preferences.

The first Genesis album with Phil Collins and Steve Hackett in the lineup, and they shone through immediately on the first track. This is also where we first hear the beautiful harmonies between Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins.

Nice chart! I don't know if you tried Gentle Giant, but based on your tastes, I think you might like it (Three Friends, Free Hand, Octopus, Gentle Giant). Also, have you heard "Time And A Word" from Yes? This album is crazy good!
