Today marks to 50th Anniversary of the release of my favorite album of all time.

I always enjoy Abigail's reviews, so I included the link

Huge Genesis fan- as you know. This album had its moments for me but overall i felt Gabriel’s work with Genesis was to constipated at times.

With Thanksgiving around the corner there is a bootleg from 40 or so years ago on Thanksgiving night of Genesis live at the Felt Forum in NYC available on youtube- as just about all bootlegs are...

I felt Gabriel’s work with Genesis was his worst. It just wasn’t a fit.

[Lurker]

I never saw Genesis but I did see Peter Gabriel as a solo artist.

Peter Gabriel leaving Genesis lead to commercial success for both Gabriel and Genesis.

[Notthemomma]

Where’s the beef!?
This was all talk talk talk.
I wanted to hear some of this unknown album.

I loved "Carpet Crawlers", "Riding the Scree" and "It" and still do, but I can't remember most of "Lamb" - some of what I do remember, like the Lamia song, makes me cringe. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved this album when I was a kid and still do, but the album had a lot of stuff in it.

"Selling England" is still my favorite Genesis album - shorter and much tighter.

[dfwgator]

I do think Gabriel left at the right time, he could never top The Lamb.

And both A Trick Of Tail and Gabriel’s first solo album were both excellent, so it was a win-win all around.

[Fuzz]

Gabriel puts on a great live show. I’ve only seen two tours, but some of the full concerts on YouTube I didn’t see are even better.

[dfwgator]

And a word of advice, do not drop acid and listen to “The Waiting Room”.

[Lurker]

“And a word of advice, do not drop acid and listen to “The Waiting Room”.

You too, eh?

[dfwgator]

But it segues perfectly into, probably my favorite track on the album, “Anyway”.

[subterfuge]

Still have this on 8 track tape. Loved Genisis w him.

[dfwgator]

Saw Hackett last year perform the entire Foxtrot album. Hope I can make it when he does “The Lamb”.

[dfwgator]

I love the “Lamia”, Tony’s piano part in the middle is so hauntingly beautiful.

[Third Person]

this is a very good book, lots of Gabriel Genesis in it...

I’ve tried to like this album. Can’t.

[Buttons12]

Hey, I don’t even have a “favorite album.” Not even sure how to acquire one. Is it like a playlist?

[Blueflag]

I have it on vinyl. 😉
