Banks was an excellent music writer, like all Genesis's members!</span> I couldn't agree more, but I think you mean 'One For The Vine.' But, One For The Wine sounds like a great theme song for a ravaging alcoholic. Didn't you know, "One for the Wine" was part 1 and "Say it's Alright Joe" was part 2

Wooooo you got me! I did not know that. Didn't even know it was a 2 parter, but considering its 9+mins long I can see how that would be logical. I'm surprised I missed that. I feel kinda stupid. Lol

Its really hard not to say something about Genesis that hasn't already been said. They're such a different band, in a good unique way. The theatrical themes, Gabriel's onstage theatrics and costumes, the musicianship and over all talent of the band itself and in some ways they were innovative and a bit ahead of their time. A few songs like The Musical Box, Return of The Giant Hogweed, and Dancing With The Moonlit night are borderline Metal (at least in my eyes) and in the case of Hogweed and Moonlit Knight Steve Hackett was one of the first guitarists to use the tapping technique. Steve even often claims that Eddie Van Halen told him he picked up the technique after he saw a Genesis concert.

Probably a less than inspired list, but hey...

1. The Cinema Show
2. Time Table
3. The Knife
4. Looking For Someone
5. Supper's Ready (with the obligatory Horizons intro ;-))
6. Dancing With The Moonlit Knight
7. Return of The Giant Hogweed
8. The Musical Box
9. Firth Of Fifth
10. Stagnation

Showed (for a period of time) that you can have an audience that will sit quietly and actually listen to your music

Nice man. Nice.

I make mine your words in the third item, and that's nice you have so much passion (better said LOVE) for a LEGENDARY band like Genesis, but man... You forgot some nice songs from "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway"...

One song per album:

The Knife

The Musical Box

Watcher of the Skies

The Cinema Show

In the Cage
