The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is the sixth studio album by the English progressive rock band Genesis, their last with frontman Peter Gabriel before his departure. This concept double album tells the story of Rael, a Puerto Rican youth from New York City who embarks on a journey of self-discovery, and encounters bizarre incidents and characters along the way. To my taste it is a bit of a flawed masterpiece, but there are too many good and even great songs in it not to include it. One can see though why Peter Gabriel, whose idea it was, and the rest of the band went separate ways afterwards.
