Alright being serious, I'd go for either The Musical Box or Watcher Of The Skies.
Don't forget - Who Dunnit does get into a groove with some appropriately heavy-handed drumming! I can't shake Squonk though as my favorite over all the other Genesis greats. Masterfully prog in all its regards.

"The Musical Box" and "Can-Utility and the Coastliners" are tied for the best, IMO.  They each have a ton of raw power, emotion, and virtuoso playing, and the lyrics are great.

My God, what a tough question!  I automatically go towards "Supper's Ready," but "Watcher of the Skies" is an emotional choice also!  

How about WORST Genesis song?  "We can't dance" jumps to mind....ugh!

First on my list, without hesitation, is "Supper's Ready"!  What a monument to prog!  Stunning!

Second would be the title track from "CAS".  Gorgeous vocals.
 
A close third would have to be "No Son Of Mine".  The rage and anguish in Collins' voice is so thick, so palpable, you could touch it.

So many (too many) to choose from. Stagnation. Dusk. The Musical Box. Harlequin. Cinema Show. Firth of Fifth. Can Utility and the Coast-Liners. Supper's Ready. Fly on a Windshield. The Lamia. The Light Goes Down on Broadway. In the Rapids. Entangled. Blood on the Rooftops. I can't decide.
