Probably Entangled, but also like Sqounk and Ripples The title track is quite good as well, but I can't believe it's the least favourite here...

Mad Man Moon. That and Blood on the Rooftops are the 2 best songs from the "post Gabriel-still Hackett" era

Guess I should have put IMHO, but I thought that was implied in all of my posts

I would personally rank them like so... - Entangled
- Dance on a Volcano
- Los Endos
- Mad Man Moon
- Squonk
- Ripples
- A Trick of the Tail
- Robbery , Assault and Battery

Ok...I'll remember that next time....wasn't picking on you btw.
I still think Wind is a better lp than Trick.

I rank them pretty close myself but give the nod to Trick...I just can't go with an album that includes "Your Own Special Way"

That track is sort of lame just like More Fool Me on SEBTP...but Wind has 11th Earl, Blood On The Roof..., and One For the Vine...and imho none of the longer proggy tracks on Tail except for Dance are as good.

The problem (IMO) with Your Own Special Way is that it’s not only boring, but also way too long. At least More Fool Me is short. Voted Mad Man Moon. A brilliant track.

Entangled is my favourite on tott. Whole albums great though definitely in my top 3 genesis. I've always loved squonk too but wish they'd have built on the end bit.
