"Dancing with the Moonlit Knight."  Everything else is trying for second place.
 
The rest of my top ten would probably include (in some order):
 
The Musical Box
Supper's Ready
Twilight Alehouse
Firth of Fifth
I Know What I Like
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
The Carpet Crawlers
Blood on the Rooftops
The Knife
 
I love Genesis.
"History of Rock Written by the Losers."

"Firth of Fifth" is mind-blowing, as is "Supper's Ready".

"Blood On The Rooftops" gets my vote, but it was an awfully hard choice.

...nice to see some love for "Seven Stones" as well! An underrated track.

I'm sorry but there (in the first and last pages of this thread anyway) have not been nearly enough votes for "Cinema Show".  That song is archetypal prog, an awesome instrumental musical journey preceeded by some classic lyrics about the nature of the masculine and the feminine.
 
It doesn't get any better than that folks!

Used to be Firth of Fifth, now it's Harold the Barrel. Amazing track! It's got the time signature changes, tempo changes, meaningful lyrics, awesome music, and of course, it's Genesis! 
Trendsetter win!

The search for nonexistent perfection.
