 Topic: Favourite Song From Each Genesis Album
Posted: May 12 2014 at 13:41 |
Saw the Pink Floyd thread and thought I should do one myself. Seeing as Genesis is my favourite prog band, I'd love to see what you're favourite song is from each album 
Here are mine:
From Genesis To Revelation: In The Wilderness (actually, my 2nd favourite Genesis song - sorry guys  ) Trespass: Stagnation Nursery Cryme: The Musical Box Foxtrot: Can-Utility And The Coastliners (one of the greatest songs ever written, and my favourite Genesis song atm) Selling England By The Pound: Dancing With The Moonlit Knight The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway: Anyway (so close - about 13 epic songs on there) A Trick Of The Tail: Dance On A Volcano Wind & Wuthering: One For The Vine And Then There Were Three: Burning Rope Duke: Behind The Lines Abacab: title track Genesis: Mama Invisible Touch: title track We Can't Dance: I Can't Dance Calling All Stations: title track

Such an underrated song no question about it. Beautiful keyboard work from Banks. Well it should since it's a Banks' song.

From Genesis to Revelation: The Serpent
Trespass: Stagnation
Foxtrot: Can-Utility...
Selling England: the Cinema Show
The Lamb: Hairless Heart (okay, that's not a song, but it's what hooked me on Genesis), so instead I'll go with the Lamia
Trick: Squonk
Wind: Blood on the Rooftops
And then there were Three: Deep in the Motherlode
I'll stop there. It was at one time my favourite band, but I lot some interest post these albums.
