1) W&W
2) SEBTP
3) Foxtrot.
Not terribly innovative but I do think W&W was their pinnacle in many respects, composition/arrangement-wise, sound landscapes, etc. I even bought it as a UK import when it came out as it was released a bit earlier than in Canada!
Easy for me :
1 Foxtrot
2 SEBTP
3 TLLDOB
Lamb
Foxtrot
Selling England
01. Selling England By The Pound
02. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
03. Foxtrot
I sense a theme developing here.......... 
There's a bit of daylight opening up between number 6 and 7 on the list. Looks like a growing consensus on what constitutes the 'best' versus the 'rest'. Interesting that all albums except FGTR have multiple votes, and also that the 5 of the top 6 were released sequentially, with the sole outlier being Duke. I also find it interesting that 2 of my favorite 4 are in the 'rest' grouping while the other 2 are in the 'best' group.
Look at Selling England rocking it with over 50% of the vote, awesome 👏
Tony Banks is going to come in here as a sock puppet and vote against the Lamb. Reason—-“I always felt it was a weak story!”

Yes!
And Mouse's Night, and various other lame story songs.
I put Tony in the same “difficult” file as Steve Howe
That being said, he’s my all-time favorite keyboardist, even edging out Rick for me honestly.
Picked A Trick Of The Tail, Wind & Wuthering and Duke in no particular order. Those 3 sum up what I like about it Genesis. And Then There Were 3 is pretty close as is Lamb & Abacab.
Wow, I’m surprised W and W is getting more votes than Duke. Considering how popular Duke is among the fan base. I really enjoy W and W, glad it’s getting some love.

Wind & Wuthering was the album that converted me from interested to fan. Just like that with the snap of my fingers.

I love it. Genesis are a band that demands 6 favorite albums, dammit.
(I'm not kidding, I have a top tier of Genesis albums that had CAS and Trick at the top followed by Abacab/Duke but Lamb and Trespass won't be refused entry to the club, what am I to do?)

Oh absolutely. The first time I heard Blood on the Rooftops, I was blown away. The end of the album with BOTR, into Unquiet Slumbers/ITQE and Afterglow….just perfection. Might be the best group of songs to end a Genesis album ever.

No doubt! I’m going to say something that might be a bit contentious among the fan base—-but CAS has on it probably one of the top ten Genesis songs ever, The Dividing Line. It’s almost impossible to pick a uniform top ten list of songs by the band, (their cup runneth over) but arguably you WOULD have to consider The Dividing Line on there.

Funnily enough, I'd agree. But it's a different song!
In my case, it's One Man's Fool.
On an unrelated note I’ve had a listen to Eleventh Earl Of Mar from both the 1994 remaster and the 2007 remix.
Now I understand.
Stay far away from the 2007 remix if you haven’t purchased Wind & Wuthering yet. For those who own it, I hope you get better enjoyment out of it than I did. Probably doesn’t help that the 1994 remasters were the only ones on the official YouTube channel. Oh well.
A Trick of the Tail
Lamb
Invisible Touch
There's days where I prefer Selling England by the Pound to Invisible Touch. Overall, I think IT is as good as a pop album as TLLDOB and SEBTP are prog albums.
