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

Welcome to the middle of the film.

This is my favorite Genesis album, finally beating out Selling England a few years ago after I got to see The Musical Box perform it in totality. So the highlights are many, but my absolute favorite that I return to again and again is...

Hairless Heart

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

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.

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?"

I've always been partial to the "Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging."

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.

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

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.

The In the Cage medley from Three Sides Live (tracks 2-3 on side 3 of the LP) is essential listening. The best 80s music the trio produced. I love how the Lamb medley melted into Afterglow.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

So many fantastic songs to choose from; Fly on a windshield, In the Cage, The Lamia...

This week I'll say Chamber of 32 doors. One of best Gabriel era songs, and my favourite PG vocal performance.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Idk if I can listen to just one song from this album without continuing and listening to the rest. It's very special to me, and my favorite prog album.

I could just as easily go with The Lamb Lies Down, Fly On The Windshield, Broadway Melody, In the Cage, Carpet Crawlers, The Lamia, Supernatural Anesthetist, or Slipperman... But it's going to have to be Back in N.Y.C. today!

So, "Back In N.Y.C.", then?

As for me, another vote for the Slippermen.

The song that never fails to bring a tear "The Lamia".

Of all the versions my favourite is the live Archive version. I love Steve's re recorded ending solo on that version better than his latest revisited effort.
