Another amazing Rutherford ballad is Snowbound off of ...and then there were three. Very underrated song and album. Snowbound is one of my favorite Genesis songs (hence my username)

I don't particularly like either song, but I think Ripples is better.

I don't dislike Your Own Special Way. W&W is an odd album to me and suggests that things were not all that harmonious in the band at the time.
Ripples is a classic however (and ATOTT is my favourite Genesis album) |
Agree with everything said above.

I do have a sentimental affection for Your Own Special Way. The bulk of Ripples is not all that superior in my mind, but Ripples shoots ahead with Hackett's guitar lead, a rather quirky use of the volume pedal. Ripples is my vote.

Ripples is my vote. For me, it's more musically interesting than Your Own Special Way, which really belongs on something like ...And Then There Were Three or even Duke IMHO.

I have no problem with Your Own Special Way - it is quite an enjoyable song, but Ripples is so much better. Odd, perhaps, since I clearly prefer W&W.

Ripples.

When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night.

Ripples does have the exquisite interlude with Banks' classical piano, synth touches and Hackett's volume swells. Sheer, intoxicating bliss. Special Way's interlude has the chorused Rhodes e-piano, which always reminds me of that commercial Styx sound. Phil's harmonies are what make this song enjoyable for me.
