First vote! I gave it to the Moody Blues because The Voice is overshadowed by the more popular and inferior Gemini Dream. The Voice heralds a new era for the Moodies with the addition of Patrick Moraz. Yes, we are definitely on the more pop side of the Progosphere, and I love all the other songs on the list, but this one that deserves more credit than it generally gets.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Lots of great songs on the list but I think Behind the Lines is amazing---uplifting exciting dramatic and soulful in a cool way---one of the bands best over the top openers. Thank you Tony .

Tempus Fugit is definetly the catchiest track for me

further best to worst ranking:

-Frame by Frame
-Behind the Lines (close 3rd)
-Red Barchetta (good song but some of the verses are a bit weaker imo)
-Never heard the Moody Blues one - not super familiar with much of their discography
MacGyver can do a super guitar solo with a broom and an elastic band. Can you do better?

MB. One of their best tracks ever. If the song for them was "gemini dream" I probably would have voted for Tempus Fugit. All of these songs are very good though. I want to say that I think "duchess" is one of the most under rated Genesis songs period so if that was listed that might have got my vote or at least been a contender. Behind the lines is certainly not bad though. FBF is a good KC track although I probably prefer thela hunjingeet. For Rush I prefer witch hunt or camera eye or yyz although RB is not bad. Sometimes it's a matter of certain songs being over played. That often knocks a song down a peg or two for me(right or wrong).
