favorite Genesis song containing the letter 'Q'

Just albums up through Duke;  want to keep this civilized.

I included some input from the general public who, fortuately, are able to use the forum
but, unfortunately, are unavailable to reach for any declinement of further comment.

From Genesis to Revelation-The Conqueror (3:40)

P.H. says, 'Is it just me or they sound like Oasis here - PG in particular?'

Nursery Cryme-Harlequin (2:55)

'a' says, 'Hermoso cuando se combinan las voces de Gabriel y Collins.'

A Trick of the Tail-Squonk (6:30)

Z.R. & his or her cat say, 'Apparantly this song (especially the drums) were inspired by Led Zeppelin's Kashmir.
When you know it you can actually hear it; the very heavy drums as opposed to Phil's usual jazziness, and the
monotonous bass' stark contrast to Mike's hands usually running all over the place.
In fact, this song is very different to everything Genesis did before, seems very much like the turning point.'

Wind & Wuthering-Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers (2:20)
Wind & Wuthering-In That Quiet Earth (4:54)

J.G. says, My favorite instrumental track. I have yet to hear anyone perform this as it was done or anywhere
close cause either the guitarist is playing too fast, there is a little too much drumming where it isn't needed,
the bassist either doesn't have the rhythm that Mike does or hasn't heard his notes and the keyboards are either
too loud or overpowering. One of the best tracks played with a Gibson Les Paul as Steve did it and with whammy bar included.

'P' says, A cool thing about the title of this song is that unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth
is the last sentence in the book "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte.

and wiki concurs,

"Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers..." and "...In That Quiet Earth" are two linked instrumental tracks.
The titles, of course, refer to the last paragraph of the novel which donated the album's title
- "Wuthering Heights", by Emily Bronte:

"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells,
listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine
unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

I left the last grouped together as for myself, the two pieces flow together much better in an
unbroken fashion than, say, Saw VI and Saw VII.  From GtoR works well for insominia and I think
that Harlequin works much better full NC spin rather than as a stand-alone.
Latter, and lone instrumentals (W&W), are very good.  However I think my choice has to be Squonk, although
I must confess my agreement to any Kashmir similarity is not unlike my variance to comparisons that
have been made between the disdain for samsara and the pursuit of equanimity.

Enjoy the vibrations.

I'll go for the two WAW's tracks influenced by Bronte.. Genesis at their mid 70's best!

Squonk is also a fantastic tune. I still enjoy it after all these years and the studio version is by the far best version I've heard. The live versions tend to be a little funkier, and the song loses that plodding 'Kashmir' feel.

Squonk. How did you guess that?

Harlequin is actually one that I'm enjoying more and more every time I put it on, so I'd say it's my favourite of these. Love the vocal harmonies and acoustic parts; Genesis never quite had it in them to pull off anything bombastic, so it's the quieter moments on those earlier records that I've found to be where they produced their best work.

I had no idea it is until I read the novel about a year ago (I like reading 19th century literature). then I made a remark about it on this forum
