I gotta say I'm surprised that more people don't like Silver Rainbow on here. I'm personally not a huge fan of it myself, but in other past forums (that have long since closed down sadly), I would hear fans gush over how great of a song it is-and I was the one thinking it was overrated LOL!
At the end of the day, it's all personal preference I suppose. For example-It's Gonna Get Better (though seemingly forgotten by many fans) is actually one of my favorite Genesis songs!

For me, the brief instrumental passages in ‘It’s Gonna Get Better’ are interesting, but the song itself I find very dull. Like you said, it’s all personal preference.

I agree, there are a couple of interesting bits on It's gonna get better but ultimately pretty much lightweight, pleasant enough but doesn't really leave a mark IMO. You are always going to find fans of the odd song, and Why not? I remember somebody raving about Like it or not, of all songs but when the dust has settled, they are definitely not the songs these albums are remembered by.

I really like both Silver Rainbow & It's Gonna Get Better.

…as do I - they make up a great ending to one of my favorite albums of theirs as a trio.
I’m always a bit surprised that side 2 of the 1983 eponymous album always gets it in the neck when it’s only the first two songs on that side that haven’t really held up well over time. The last two songs and “Just A Job To Do”, IMHO, are quite good! (JAJTD even got picked up as a theme song to a TV show in the mid-80s here in the States. That caught me by surprise when I first heard it on TV!) Side 1 is obviously the more cohesive and better side, but side 2 is far from being a disaster. To each their own. 🤷♂️

I remember hearing Just a Job to Do all the time on the classic rock radio station when I was a kid in the 90s, out in the Chicago area. I grew to love it! It has a very "Genesis in the 80's" sound if you know what I mean.
I voted Nursey, Foxtrot and Selling England, but I am really uncertain....
I really love all the albums from trespass to duke, and even after in each album they have put some masterpiece..

I am uncertain all the time when it comes to this question 
I recently rediscovered Abacab, so it has replaced NC in my Top3. Then Wind and Duke.

same here. Just changed from Lamb to Selling ....
Think my current 3 would be Trespass, Abacab and CAS.
It will change. I enjoy them all 😃
My top 2 are always Lamb first by some distance, Abacab second. Third place shifts around between NC, SEBTP and Duke.

I would say that's the most widely spread list of favorites I've seen! Literally beginning, middle (in terms of time, not count) and end!
