Love both, but I really love "Cinema Show". Those are my favourite tracks off Selling England by the Pound.

both, I could not choose between these two, so "both" option is the easy way out.

Firth of Fifth is my favourite track of that album. I'm not so fond of The Cinema Show.

Now THIS is a good poll!
I can't choose between the two. Both are powerhouse tracks. Some of Banks' finest work is in Cinema show. Both.

love both so voted both---rare for one album to have the greatest prog guitar and keyboard solo on one album.
the way they both play long solos with nuance and rising and falling power is really amazing for some 23 year olds. Edited by twosteves - May 02 2020 at 12:10 |

Can't choose between them - first heard them when I was 13, I am 57 now. Still make me cry.

The Cinema Show
Yeah, I tend to think of Aisle Of Plenty as part of The Cinema Show. Edited by I prophesy disaster - May 02 2020 at 12:23 |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Couldn't be easier…  Cinema Show.Firth of Fifth a bit classical and plain to me... I like jazz (fusion) so on the other hand, I like Cinema's 'jazzy malice': syncopated drums and synth passages (also love the beautiful and more mellow first part : )) Edited by Machinemessiah - May 02 2020 at 12:33 |

Another tough one... Probably my favourite Genesis album just edging out Foxtrot. I'll have to go with FoF. I love the piano intro and the overall vibe of the song.

Both.
One for Hackett's guitar solo, the other for Tony Banks' keyboard solo. Amazing.

The two truly sensational tracks on that album are Dancing with the Moonlit Knight and... Cinema Show. Firth of Fifth is still excellent though.
