GENESIS - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (1974)



"So Selling England By The Pound is No1. Do not be fooled by this. Genesis did 3 albums worthy of 5 stars: Trespass, Foxtrot & The Lamb. The Lamb has musical depth as well as lyrical. It is light years better than Selling England. Is this a prog site? Or is this a place for people congratulating themselves over predictable, commercial, easy going, middle of the road mediocrity. Do not let any fashion, fool or lazy notion get in the way of strong passions. Much of The Lamb (eg The Lamia) engages your emotions to a very high level. Peter Gabriel uses his full range of feelings on this album. This is one of the classic prog albums. Selling England is just okay.
