Actually, Domino just hasn't been able to do much for me. It may be the longest, and have certain prog elements, but in the end the song itself just doesn't do anything for me. The live version was indeed better, but still not enough. There are some songs I do like a lot on this album, but Domino isn't one of them. For a longer proggy song from 80's Genesis, I would have to go with "Home by the Sea / Second Home by the Sea", that one I do really love.

I like DOmino---The Brazilian and Tonight Tonight---so Domino just listened to it on vacation the other day---the live version.

Land of Confusion is great. No prog but a powerful and catchy rock song.

Yep, Domino. This IT album was a mega-commercial success, sure, but still held some Progressive tendencies. Not a great album by any stretch, but O.K. If it was done by a 'new' band at the time, it probably would've been embraced a lot more by the Prog public.

Confession time - I went to see them on this tour (Leeds, UK), the medley from 'Wind and Wuthering' just about made it worth it...

This is a trick question. There are no good songs from that album.

I was first introduced to Genesis from listening to Casey Kasem's Top 40 when Tonight, Tonight, Tonight played. Therefore, I feel like I'm obligated to choose it.

I do kind of like Land Of Confusion....but I honestly don't play anything after 'Wind...' these days.

Sooo.... does that mean we shouldn't listen to, let's say, Tales from topographic oceans anymore because it was #1 in the album charts? No more Dark side of the moon? Throw away Thick as a brick?

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Voted for Domino. Funny that people complain about this album being cold and clinical. That's exactly how I feel about Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson in general, yet he is seen as a genius. Could the unpopulairty of this album have anything to do with the mainstream success instead?

^I agree, I think the production is lifeless, plastic and and stinks of the 80's.
