Ahh, this is hard!
All masterpieces from the band, so in order of preference:
1. Supper's Ready (more room for greater stuff, plus an outstanding finale)
2. The Cinema Show (sweet and incredible)
3. The Musical Box (early Prog masterpiece, Tony's keys are so mean!)
4. Firth of Fifth (classic opening and majestic vocals, the rest is great as well)

If this had been a choice between only the first three, I would have had a much tougher decision. As it stands, Supper's Ready, one of the greatest songs ever written.

The Musical Box. That end section is the epitome of 1970's classical symphonic prog rock.

A good point. The ending is the best ending of all Genesis songs! Actually, Supper's Ready has a pretty epic ending too, but so does Cinema Show with Aisle of Plenty. I vote for Cinema Show!

Pretty hard between Firth of Fifth and Supper's Ready... it's difficult to match such an epic song. But in the end Firth of Fifth is just excellence from beginning to end, great piano intro, great singing (even if I'm not a Gabriel fan), and great instrumental mid section - Flute, keyboards, and ofcourse the guitar.

Battle between the tops of the tops... However, Supper's Ready is something indescribable for me.

1. Supper's Ready (perfect song)
2. The Musical Box (Beautiful song with great outro) 3. The Cinema Show (Love the guitar. Great song). 4. Firth of Fifth (Great intro. The rest is incredibly boring and forgettable.)
