I'd be really grateful if you posted a longer summarised list than just the top 5, @Psychedelic Paul.

My top 5:
1. Dancing With the Moonlit Knight
2. The Musical Box
3. It
4. Dance on a Volcano
5. Firth of Fifth

Paul, would you ever consider doing a post Gabriel Genesis song list? That could be interesting although probably not everyone would participate. ;)

I wouldn't be able to participate in my own poll. I'd struggle to come up with a post-Gabriel list of seven Genesis songs I actually like. Wink

Seriously, how did I miss this?
1. Supper's Ready
2. The Musical Box 
3. Mama
4. Home by the Sea (first and second)
5. Firth of Fifth
I've come to the conclusion songs on Duke work better on an album rather than individually, but I'm still going to try and get a few Duke songs in thief's top 20 Genesis songs.

Good idea, that. A lot of people can't stand Genesis without Gabriel, but they have done some very good stuff. I still hold Genesis never did a bad album. Their last fully prog album was probably Duke, but that doesn't mean the stuff that came after was bad (certainly, you're off your rocker if you think We Can't Dance is 100% prog*, but that doesn't mean it's a rubbish album). Even CAS wasn't a terrible album IMO - it does not sound remotely like the 70s Genesis we know and love, but it isn't awful. 
*25%, I'd say. Dreaming While You Sleep, Fading Lights and Driving the Last Spike - 3/12 tracks, 25%.

^ Crikey!! That's amazing that Squonk19 predicted the eventual Genesis Top 5 way back on March 5th. I'm awestruck! Clap

Looking back on this I'm not sure why I voted for Firth of Fifth above Supper's Ready. How can anything be better than Supper's Ready? Lol. I'm not sure why I have Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers in a top five also. It's great but not quite top five imo. If I did this now I might swap it out for Dance on a Volcano. Oh well.

Currently:

1) Suppers Ready
2) The Battle of Epping Forest
3) The Fountain of Salmacis
4) Dance on a Volcano
5) The Musical Box

The top 3 have been solid for sometime. At times, One for the Vine, Cinema Show, Watcher of the Skies and The Knife could be found in my top 5 Genesis songs.
