top 5 Genesis songs (or 10)

Here's my Top 5:

HI everybody.

First of all let's talk about the gold medal.

A genesis top 5 or 10 ranks not starting with Supper at first place CANNOT EXISTS. As a genesis fan and lover it's inconceivable not to put it at first place far behond all other pieces. Listening to it's like a prayer, a continuous source of emotion. For me the top of human musical creation. It has EVERYTHING in it. It's also a song not suitable for everyone, and I think I'm very lucky to know this masterpiece, it has surely enriched my life. Don't point me as a fanatic, I know this is totally a matter of personal taste, but for me it's like being in love...with this song.

And what about the other pieces?

I can't exclude the superb Cinema show and intriguing Watcher. Musical box is for sure a must and also Salmacis. I also would go for The battle, the strangest genesis song. I'd go for the exquisite Get'em out and Moonlit knight. I would include In the cage and Carpet crawlers. I don't want to exclude Horizons, but it's a top 10 so I have to make a choice...

So, let's try to put up a difficult rank...

(and every time I look at this rank, I want to change some position... :-o)

1. Supper's ready (and second and third and fourth and so on...)
2. The cinema show
3. Watcher of the skyes
4. Musical box
5. The fountaing of salmacis
6. The battle of Epping forest
7. Get'em out by friday
8. Dancing with the moonlit knight.
9. In the cage
10. Carpet crawlers
(11. Horizons)

Have a good time listening to the best band ever...

There are diverse styles of music. Some of the most familiar of them are classical, jazz, blues, rock & roll, rhythm and blues, rap, hip hop, country, bluegrass, folk, house, new age, world, and metal but the overall list goes on and on. Also, then you have different modifications of several genres, which makes this list almost never ending.

(In no particular order) Supper's Ready The Musical Box The Fountain of Salmacis The Lamia Firth of Fifth Dance On A Volcano One For The Vine The Cinema Show In The Cage Mad Man Moon Now, I feel guilty for leaving so many off the list.

Doesn't have to be a definitive list.
It can change every week. It does for me. I think I've replied to this thread like 8 times.

I think I've replied to this thread like 8 times.    This is true, but looking at my list again, I'm actually quite pleased with it now. I'm sure it will change next week, though.

It's a wonderful list.

Ok. I'm feeling....
