- Supper’s Ready (Foxtrot, 1972) The Mona Lisa, the Guernica, the Ulysses, the veritable Mac Daddy of Gabriel-era Genesis epics. At 23 minutes, its seven sections with recurring motifs mash up classical symphony, rock restlessness and a breath-taking ambition to build the music to end all music: “a new Jerusalem”.
- I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) (Selling England By The Pound, 1973) The only Gabriel-era hit single. An obvious commercial smash, in hindsight, given its everyday chart-friendly tale of a gardener who refuses to grow up because he’d rather push his lawnmower around forever.
- The Lamia (The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, 1974) As protagonist Rael navigates his way through the trials and traumas of The Lamb Lies Down – stalactites, stalagmites, wanking, losing his virginity, having his heart removed and shaved – he now finds himself in a languid pool with three Lamias, seductive snake-like sirens who have their wicked way with him, drink his blood, then die, leaving him a distorted, grotesque Slipperman.
- The Cinema Show (Selling England By The Pound, 1973) Another jewel from Selling England By The Pound, that album title being another piece of incontrovertible evidence that fusty old posh boys Genesis were politically on point – prophetic, even - way before it was fashionable.

- "Supper's Ready" From: 'Foxtrot' (1972) The signature song of the band's live set for several years, "Supper's Ready" is an epic tour de force, its power and beauty remaining in full bloom all these years later.
- "Back in N.Y.C." From: 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' (1974) Released in the fall of 1974, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is arguably the band's masterpiece.
- "The Musical Box" From: 'Nursery Cryme' (1971) "I think we wanted to expand the horizons of the musical world we were living in," Peter Gabriel said in a documentary about Nursery Cryme, their third album, and first album to feature guitarist Steve Hackett and drummer Phil Collins.
- "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight" From: 'Selling England by the Pound' (1973) As the needle hits the vinyl on the first track on Selling England by the Pound, we hear Peter Gabriel alone in the spotlight, almost as if he's delivering a sermon.
From Genesis To Revelation is little more than a run of the mill pop album and without Peter Gabriel's distinctive voice you might not even recognise this as Genesis. I don't like the admixture of real orchestras and rock instruments at the best of times, but in this case the band's instrumentation is completely smothered by producer Jonathan ...
