Doing a series of the entire body of work might also be a good way for you to get a sense for the albums you are not familiar with; you can then be a little more informed on whether you would want to acquire them or not.
I voted Looking for Someone just because Gabriel's opening vocal is a little strident to my ears. This is a great album btw.

Where was it observed that there were no Genesis survivor polls?

After somebody observed that there haven't been any Genesis survivor polls yet, I thought "why not"? I left out the debut for now because I'm not familiar with it at all. I might come back to it later.

I'm going against the grain here and voting "The Knife" which never quite clicked with me as much as the rest of the album.

I can't vote, but I love this album and would probably have extreme problems choosing one song if I could :P I guess it would end up being Looking for Someone though, it took the longest to get into and in a way still feels like it doesn't really fit on the album, even if it is a great song on its own.

Not a great album imo. Quite easy to vote things out for me. First "Dusk"

Yea, and for the albums you're not familiar with, all the album info is on PA so...... At the least, if you wanted to, you could just do the albums from the debut to, say, Wind & Wuthering, or Duke, or wherever you want the cut-off album to be. Unless you do their whole discography of course...

Yea, I'm not too familiar with the Yes debut, but I included it in mine (though I'm only doing the classic albums). The point of these survivors is to see what the objectively best song is from given band, in this case, Genesis.
Anyway, I haven't listened to this album in a while, so I'll come back to vote.

This album stands out as one of the most consistent in my entire collection, thought The Knife is a bit more exciting then the other tracks. No vote.
