Two sort of underrated tracks off Genesis' "Nursery Cryme". Which one do you think is the better tune? Im gonna go with Salmacis, just can't beat that intro. ------------- The most dangerous man in America. |

I like both equally. I wouldn't say any of these is underrated but I do think that on the album they're overshadowed by The Musical Box. ------------- Bez pierdolenia sygnał zerwie, to w realia wychodź w hełmie! |

I'll go for both too. The difference between them is negligible. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

Both! I agree that they are underrated. Personally, I like those songs more than The Musical Box, which surely has overshadowed them on stage (Genesis back then and Steve Hackett nowadays, when playing old Genesis stuff).

Both are good, but I prefer Salmacis. Salmacis vs Hogweed would be a harder nut to crack. -------------

| Salmacis. There's something about that song that just does it for me in ways that Seven Stones never could. |

| Fountain of Salmacis is the best piece of Nursery Cryme for me. Seven Stones is close |

| easily Fountain---if has a preview of the great genius of what Hackett will do for the band with that majestic guitar solo at the end of the song---love it. This is what he always did for the band---stand out unique guitar parts elevating a song to greatness. |

This. The melotron part to Seven Stones is perfect though. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Seven Stones is very nice, but come on....this is The Fountain of Salmacis it's up against, which rivals Firth of Fifth as their best ever track. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Very goods point you made here. I really enjoy the whole album, rather than certain pieces of Nursery Crime. I guess The Musical Box became such a Genesis classic, that it took a life on its own, leaving most of the album behind, but when you listen to the whole album, it's a very enjoyable experience.

You will gain more than seven stones by consuming a fountain of salami -------------

Easy choice. Salmacis is Nursery Cryme's second best song after The Musical Box. ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

Fountain of Salmacis is Nursery Cryme's best song by my estimation. I've never had dislike for Seven Stones, but it's merely good. ------------- -John |
