When I'm not grooving to Rihanna and Common and whatever else the young people like these days, I'm getting down with Genesis. That's early Genesis, not mid tempo '80s Genesis with Phil crooning in a lounge chair. I'm talking Peter Gabriel dressed like a nut, wall to wall prog-tastic mayhem circa 1973. I used to think it was The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway that was the album of albums but now I'm beginning to think that its actually Selling England by the Pound; this album is slaying me right now. I know we have German members on this board and I've never met a German yet who doesn't love Genesis so come on in, share your love.
