If you meet a Lady and she tells you Trespass is her favorite Genesis album marry her. This is the Genesis Album for the Real Genesis Fan. Fantastic record! Good to see some love for it!

I just love the fact that there are people in this world who care about this stuff as much as I do. Thanks gentlemen!

This is truly a fantastic album, which never gets mentioned as one of the greats. Genesis have made so many classics, this one unduly gets forgotten.

[Prog-td]

So nice knowing there are others that love this music like I do.

I bought this album when I was 15 and Trespass was the album that really got me into prog rock. For me, it was the greatest era of music and it still is my favourite type of music. Pete, I love listening to you and all of your buddy's talking about prog rock. Your insights are amazing to hear. Thank-you guys.

Trespass is an amazing and beautiful album that certainly deserves more attention.

An underrated album in the prog rock world, ‘Stagnation’ is a such beautiful track on this album and personally my favorite off this album along with ‘The Knife’

To me Trespass is the first of an 8 album run which is the best in rock history and it is a vastly undervalued album which lays the groundwork for the even better albums to come.

As a Genesis fanatic who was listening to Trespass today, imagine my joy at finding this High Fidelity nerd roundabout.Loved every minute.

Anthony Phillips loves the direction Genesis went to after his departure. Selling England By The Pound is one of his favourite albums and actually one that he would have loved to be part of.

Great show as I hugely enjoyed everyone's company. The chemistry is supreme.

[philipalbanese]

Loved this show, guys - “Trespass” is one of the most underrated albums in rock history, and “Stagnation” and “The Knife” are two of my all time favorites from Genesis :)

It's a beautiful pastoral album. Great songs, and a willingness to experiment. A lot of it driven by Ant, and Banks. To me it's perfectly in line with Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, SEBTP... all a logical progression between records. All have pastoral elements that started with Trespass. And Ant helped write some of the songs that would be recorded after he left the band (The Musical Box being one of them). The band themselves have always mentioned how it was Ant who really was the most driven member in the early years. I love all of the songs including Vision of Angels, limp wrist and all... Ken & Luis you wackos ;) The Knife BTW... was still played as an encore on the early 80/81 tours. Also regarding FGTR... I love that record too. Listen to the Mono version, which doesn't have as much sappy strings added. If you don't view it through the lens of the later albums, and to think they were still in school when the wrote it, it's a fairly remarkable album with some great songs.

Kudos to Ken for picking this magnificent album. 👍🎶🎵🤘

It's the first album of Trespass that got me into Genesis and had gotten it from a library sale and have today of the vinyl and the album I made on cd of the album. So have it and for a very long time. It's a masterful forgotten gem. White Mountain Stagnation Dusk The Knife. A real great easy listen from start to finish for me.

Pete, thanks so much for everything. I look forward to these episodes every 2 weeks. It's definite must-see TV.

[stratmonkee]

Great show! Love the early Genesis discussion, Trespass a hidden gem in the Genesis catalog imo!

[wolftree]

bravo, extremely informative and entertaining, thanks to all

I saw Steve Hackett playing a nylon string classical guitar in the children’s books corner of Monroeville Borders Book store. He was simply unbelievable! I was one of the 150 that was blown away!

[arunsabherwal]

Thanks Pete and the team of In The Prog Seat - this happens to be my fav of the Genesis catalogue.
