No offense to anyone that likes it but Harold the Barrel is probably one of the worst songs of the PG era(imo). I don't really hate it but anyone who complains about robbery assault and battery either hasn't heard HtB or dislikes them both.

I always wish people talked more about trespass, I think it’s pretty much on par with nursery cryme. In fact I’d bet that if Hackett and Collins were on it and played the same note for note, it would be in our top 50. Phillips sounds very similar to Hackett on guitar.

"Am I Very Wrong" would have been interesting addition to this poll (my fav from the first album).

I dislike them both (as well as Take them out by Friday, and perhaps worst of all Battle of Epping Forest, because that's the one that ruins my otherwise favourite album from them).

Yep, those are the worst Genesis songs from the PG era not counting anything from the first album. I actually like RA&B though but then again Trick is my favorite Genesis album. Timetable, for absent friends and harlequin are rather weak too. I guess you can throw more fool me into that basket as well.

So I believe you don´t like Nursery & Foxtrot much? They´re both my big prog favorites as a whole, I don´t think there are any really weak tracks, although of course some tracks are greater than others.

You need to redo this poll minus "Can."  As all other options are tied, it would be interesting.

Actually, I do like Timetable, For Absent Friends, and Harlequin well enough... I mean, they are not masterpieces as other of their songs, but they do are nice little songs that I enjoy. More Fool Me is totally forgettable, but at least it's not annoying.

As far as I'm concerned, from Nursery I mostly like Musical Box a lot, and the other short songs are nice enough (except for Harold the Barrell that I rather hate). The other 2 songs I don't dislike as much, but I don't particularly enjoy them. As for Foxtrot, I mostly do like it, except for Get 'em out by Fryday, and somehow I can't really warm up to Watcher of the Skies, even though I do love Hackett's version with John Wetton from Tokyo Tapes.

Visions of Angels over Can-Utility and the Coastliners by a hair, closely followed by After the Ordeal. Harold the Barrel and Waiting Room never did much for me.

Can-Utilty but from the PG era I would have voted for Time Table if that was included.
The most overlooked genesis song for me is Man Of Our Times from their official releases but how The Day The Light Went Out never made it onto an official release will remain a great mystery to me. I think that may even be my favourite Genesis song although its a close call with Blood On The Rooftops.

Can Utility & the Coastliners. Brilliant song. Certainly better than Watcher of the Skies.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

from the list Can Utility is the better one (and the easily best track of the A-side), but I knew it wouldn't need my vote to win this hands down, so I went for Ordeal, but had a difficult time choosing it over Waiting Room
(Don't care much for the first two)
