I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Very close between Turn it On, It's my Life, and Eye in the Sky. Voted for Eye in the Sky.
All three are songs I often play more than once in a row. Love em.

For me it's between Talk Talk, Genesis and Marillion, I went with Genesis' Turn It On Again this time.

No, you are not alone.  We are legion. From the list, I voted Genesis.

i chose Owner of a Lonely Heart as that is the only song (i believe) i mostly knew before my rise to becoming a HUGE Yes fan, and so besides that, big mentions go to Turn It On Again, Learning to Fly, It's Raining Again, and Play the Game.

Promises - brilliant single.
Learning to Fly, Kayleigh and Turn it on Again are also excellent.

Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky
I can't sand Turn it On Again, although I considered voting for it because of its odd time signature, but the question wasn't asking which was technically the best musically, just which your favorite, and I can't stand it. I might've voted a few other genesis pop choices, but not that one. No way, unh unh.
