Title: Genesis' Breakthrough
Review: Selling England By The Pound was Genesis' commercial breakthrough in England. The album hit the top ten spurred on by the number three single "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)". That song is a sublime slice of prog-rock with weird lyrics and a great Peter Gabriel vocal. The album is full of tight playing by the best of all of the Genesis lineups with Mike Rutherford & Steve Hackett on guitars, Phil Collins on drums (and making his vocal debut), Tony Banks on keyboards and the brilliant Peter Gabriel on vocals. Other standout songs include the chamber music stylings of "Firth Of Fifth", the magical "Dancing With The Moonlight Knight" and the sprawling "The Cinema Show".
