| Selling England by the pound was the crowning achievement of Genesis' reign of the 70s prog rock scene. Every individual member shines on this album, with Gabriel's fittingly flexible voice flitting between haunting tones and satirical accents, Collins' incredible rhythmical prowess shining and receding fitting perfectly with the flow of the music, Hackett chiming in with some beautiful melodies and moving solos, Banks providing the ideal keyboard accompaniments to produce a perfect melody at the right times, and finally Rutherford, the ideal backbone for the entire album, working with Collins to hold together this entire album of pure musical Genius. |
