I voted Dancing with the Moonlit Knight barely beating out Firth of Fifth. I'm not even bothering to put More Fool Me on here, and I don't think I need to explain why. -------------

I love Dancing with the Moonlit Knight but i like also all the other songs. Dancing.... has the most famous vocal intro in all the PROGRESSIVE history! |

Firth of Fifth is brilliant. Dancing comes in as a close second.

I had a great dilema: "Firth of Fifth" or "Cinema Show" ??? Ok, I'll go with the majority... first option... |

Dancing With the Moonlit Knight... barely. Fifth of Fifth, Cinema Show, and I Know What I Like are all fantastic songs.

Master Hackett's guitar in Firth of Fifth makes this song unfogettable, on the other hand Peter A Capella intro of Dancing with the Moonlit Knight gives me goosebumps. I can't choose from this two. More Fool Me gives me nausea. Iván

I've come to the point where I can actually listen to More Fool Me, but yeah, it still has no chance of being the best one, ever.
It's a tough call between Dancing With the Moonlit Knight, Firth of Fifth and Cinema Show. Maybe I'll go with Cinema Show this time. 
Great album, I love it so much

Cinema show/Aisle of plenty (one song for me). Although Dancing With the Moonlit Knight and Firth of Fifth score 10/10 on the DP scale as well. ------------- Blog this: http://artrock2006.blogspot.com |

Cinema show for me it has the greatest keyboard solo of all time. Fifth of Firth is next and Dancing 3rd , After the Ordeal 4th and Ailse of Plenty are also genius tracks. Battle of Epping Forrest is OK but really never did much for me I know What I Like Not much depth to this one. A not so good attempt at a single More Fool me A filler its adds contrast but not much else There is an enormous gap between the better and weaker tracks on this album and there are some midway also. All the top 10 have flaws so I think the challenge is still there to produce the definitive prog classic.
------------- How wonderful to be so profound |

Cinema Show, I suppose... It really is a battle between three masterpieces on this album! (I don't need to name them, do I? The funny thing is, I didn't fall in love with Cinema Show because of the keyboard playing, like so many others apparently, but thanks to the percussion work that accompanies it during that amazing instrumental section. It's just, I don't know... so musical! ------------- I was made to love magic |

"The Cinema Show/Aisle of Plenty" is my personal zenith as far as progressive rock songs go....

A very underrated and short instrumental is "After the Ordeal", which has a great guitar solo with a climax that runs chills up your whole body over and over again. Its so moving and beautiful... (Starts around 2:10 and the climax is about one minute later)
I voted for Firth though... What a great keyboard part. The intro, the "Combined Brass" sound solo, and basically everything else (when gabriel sings and plays the flute) is just a BRILLIANT keyboard part. Tony Banks is a genius! -------------

Really hard... In the end it has to be: Dancing with the Moonlit
Knight, with Cinema Show as number 2, and then Epping Forest. ------------- I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away. |

'Cinema Show'. It turned me onto exploring early Genesis which I thought was a boring pop rock band before hearing this song. |

Besides More Fool Me (which I really like) and I Know What I Like (which i don't like) I can't find anything that would even REMOTELY qualify as filler material on this album. |
