Why didn't they talk about my favorite song off of this amazing album... Dancing with the moonlit knight!? I wanted to hear the background story to that one!!

I first heard 'Selling England' when I was about 17. It was a challenge at first listening...strange and unique. Today It remains one of my favourite Genesis albums along with 'Nursery Cryme.' Every song is highly original and the musicianship is just amazing. The album is full of drama, beauty, humour and much excitement. Love the cover painting as well. (Lost on todays cds)

A classic album that will be praised for many years to come.

@Incudius It's like a Gilmour solo: Sometimes a few notes tell more stories than a million notes.

El mejor disco de la historia, sacando a The Beatles.

Can't believe they didn't talk about Dancing With The Moonlit Knight! My favourite Genesis track!

[TheFlamingozilla]

I have listened to I Know What I Like" so many times, And I just noticed that where they say "Over The Garden Wall" they were nodding off to Peter and Tony's old band the Garden Wall, which then merged with Mike and Anthony (Phillips) band, The Anon, to form the band we all know and love!

i love Battle of Epping Forrest, but i wish they made it a 3-5 minute single. I love the organ in the beginning, but further on, things got confusing

[MoveOverCasanova]

i never fell so instantly in love with a record than with selling - i put it on, opened the cover like a book and listened, and it just surpassed my highest expectations, it was the music i have been waiting for

[alexmortland]

Good ol' creativity.

[czgibson]

What a wonderful, endlessly fascinating record. Makes you wonder how they could bring themselves to do some of the embarrassing rubbish they put out in the 80s.

Aisle of Plenty is a brilliantly haunting conclusion, especially how it fades out. The fact that the band regards it as an insignificant after thought illustrates how bands often fail to appreciate the profound affect they have on their fans.
