Ahh, this is hard!
All masterpieces from the band, so in order of preference:
1. Supper's Ready (more room for greater stuff, plus an outstanding finale)
2. The Cinema Show (sweet and incredible)
3. The Musical Box (early Prog masterpiece, Tony's keys are so mean!)
4. Firth of Fifth (classic opening and majestic vocals, the rest is great as well)

1. Firth of Fifth for one of my favorite guitar solos of all time.
2. Musical Box - there is an edge to this one not often found in the music of Genesis.
3. Supper's Ready - 'nuff said.
4. Cinema Show. My favorite part is the Banks keyboard solo, but an overall great track.
I might have put a few other titles on such a list, as others have expressed, but I prefer to keep to polls as given.

This poll should probably have a "toxic topic" symbol! LOL.

1. Supper's Ready
2. The Musical Box
2. The Cinema Show
2. Firth of Fifth
It's impossible to rank the last 3. They're all perfect. Which is why I went 2nd place.

But the Box - supreem all the way.

The musical box is one of the best songs I know. Excellent in all possible ways.

Supper's Ready is perhaps the apex of the best prog band ever.
2. Firth
3. Box
4. Show
I really don't know why Cinema Show gets more accolades on here than Moonlit Knight, which may be my personal favorite piece of music ever.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

The Musical Box. That end section is the epitome of 1970's classical symphonic prog rock.

Really surprised at the lack of Firth of Fifth love.
That said, Supper's Ready by such a long way.
