Genesis

Now that we have Genesis fans here,  any good "newer" groups that fill that niche for you?  I'll throw out Riverside.   Start with their first 3 "trilogy" CDs.  Go from there.  Recommendations welcome!

Lamb Lies Down... - also, one of my top 10 favorite albums of all time.

With Peter I'll say Lamb Lies Down, but for Phil I have to say the yellow blocks self titled album. That the one I listen to most of his. I like several others by both of these guys.

I discovered 1) Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Genesis); 2) Country Life (Roxy Music) and 3) El Dorado (ELO) all at the same time I purchased my first new stereo system, a SONY HP 161 phono compact.   These albums will always be favorites.

@Simonmoon is exactly right >>

It is also my opinion that they lost a lot more, musically speaking, when Steve Hackett left the band, than when Gabriel left the band.

For me, it is not the Gabriel era vs the Collins era. It is the Philips/Hackett era vs the post Hackett era.

Hackett and Philips both did solo albums that are much better that any Genesis album of the post hackett era.
