As much as I like almost everything Genesis did between 1970 and 1977, I must insist that Trespass and Nursery Cryme hit on some kind of magic in a way that I hear from no other in the history of m"modern" music. You can take any ten second segment of pieces like Stagnation, The Knife, or The Fountain of Salmacis and those fleeting moments do more for me than the entire career catalogues of groups like The Beatles before them or Rush after.

I do also think that Trick of the Tail deserves an honorable mention. Dance in a Volcano + Los Endos are some of the more unique and out-of-this-world sounding parts, and probably a peak in their music/sound. But the rest of the record just does not hold up.

(take into account, I talk strictly music/sound here. I come from a bias that has little concern for songwriting or lyric/concept)
