 Topic: 11th Best Track on The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Posted: December 03 2016 at 15:47 |
The burning question that we've all been wanting to know...
What's the 11th best track on Genesis' seminal concept double album?

I think you're overestimating the sanity of us proggers... Alright let me work this out now
Roughly Top Five: The Waiting Room Fly on a Windshield Here Comes the Supernatural Anesthetist In The Cage Carpet Crawlers
Roughly 6-10: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway The Light Lies Down on Broadway It The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats
Options for #11: Hairless Heart Broadway Melody of 1974 Counting Out Time
Final Choice: Hairless Heart
Most of the rest of the album is so forgettable that I couldn't rank the tracks even if I had just listened to them.
If anyone's curious, Back in NYC is easily the worst track.

Guess I'll go for Counting Out Time. FWIW, I think Back in NYC is an awesome track! Love Fly on a Windshield as well! Just wish it was longer.

From Counting Out Time:
"Touch and go with 1-6.
Bit of trouble in zone No. 7.
Gotta remember all of my tricks.
There's heaven ahead in No. 11!"
I chose The Waiting Room, and my ranking went something like this:
Hairless Heart
The Lamia
In the Cage
Carpet Crawlers
Fly on a Windshield
Supernatural Anaesthetist
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Broadway Melody
Cuckoo Cocoon
Light Dies Down on Broadway
The Waiting Room

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

"vote your favorite 5th track off of a Charisma Records released Genesis album." Who's going to make that one eh?
These Genesis topics are getting out of hand.

 I link "11th" rather to Wind and Wuthering, though it has only 9 tracks, than to The Lamb somehow. Nevertheless these are my 11 favourites: 1. Riding the Scree
2. In the Cage
3. Colony of Slippermen
4. Fly on a Windshield
5. Back in N.Y.C.
6. Lillywhite Lilith
7. The Chamber of 32 Doors
8. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
9. The Carpet Crawlers
10. The Supernatural Anaesthetist
11. In the Rapids

I always see albums like the Lamb as a unit, not a bunch of songs, so I cannot really choose my favorite one.
