So many to chose from.  But, I nearly always go for the progressive hypocrites handing out their trash as it was mine in the first place.

I thought 'Chamber' was particularly well crafted, but pick it.

As for The Lamia, which is winning at the time, I very much prefer Hackett's version on Genesis Revisited 2, with more pleasant vocals and added instrumental passages... he really fixed that song for me.
 
I don't have it and didn't find it either on YouTube, but I would agree with you, as I found the Hackett's official live video (below) as well way better than the studio track, Steve Rothery working together with him on a beautiful closing guitar solos make a big difference on this live performance.

In my opinion needless to say that these sorts of brilliant Hackett's guitar passages are one of the main highlights off this album, Here Comes the Supernatural Anaesthetist is for me a perfect example of his innumerable stunning contributions.

This is such a great album, it's hard to choose just one.  I love "Fly on a Windshield", "In the Cage" is one of Mr. Banks' best solos ever and "The Waiting room" was my foray into experimental music but time and time again, I come back to "The Chamber of 32 Doors" as it seems to me some of Peter Gabriel's most emotional vocals.  You can almost hear the pain in his voice every time that he pleads, "Can you help me?"

Definitely The Lamia.  And then Fly On A Windshield and Riding The Scree. And then... well there are a lot of great songs. But Lamia wins anyway.

Hairless Heart

LOVE Hairless Heart too! Great music by Steve--and Steve's version a few years back live was very moving.

Far too many to choose from such an outstanding album!
For the sake of this poll, my current favorite is Hairless Heart.

Fly on a windshield.
Always.

OK what's it all about. A surreal fantasy of a Puerto Rican male breaking through a fantasy world in New York that is paralleled by male fears (losing the cherished member to a bird) and the endless choices (almost all bad) that he has to make to get though the other side. In the end it's rock and roll that saves the day (clearly not a contemporary release). It's only knock and know all with it's ironic reference to the Stones. It's a bizarre comedy well illustrated lyrically and soundtracked musically.

It got my vote. Love it.

Now I'm going back to Seconds Out. Afterglow's on and that is....


see ya.
