Dancing With The Moonlit Knight easily, though Cinema SHow has its moments too. -------------

| Easily "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight", although I am very fond of "Cinema Show" as well. And let's not forget "Aisle Of Plenty"! |

Epping Forest. I know all the fans will think I'm fool, but it's one of the few Genesis songs that I like. Another is The Cage.... ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

1, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight, especially when Hackett takes over the song.
2. Cinema Show - Bank's keyboard solo is the climax of the album.
3. Firth of Fifth, again Hackett brings this one to the top.
4. After the Ordeal - a great instrumental cap to the manic Battle of Epping Forest. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

After the Ordeal...it seems to be the "calm seas" in between "The Battle of Epping Forest" and "The Cinema Show"...very beautiful work from Hackett. One of my favorite guitar arrangements from Steve. -------------

Probably the most difficult of these Genesis album polls I've seen so far. Although "Firth Of Fifth" is one of their strongest moments, it came to life even more live in subsequent years (Hackett's solo/Rutherford's bass pedals/Phil & Chester's dual drumming). "The Cinema Show" is a strong contender as well, "I Know What I Like" was a solid single and I do like to stand up for underdogs once in a while like "After The Ordeal" (which Banks has said many times he can't stand, but I love it). "Epping Forest" is a bit of a mess. Musically and lyrically excellent, but not at the same time unfortunately. Much too busy, and I was pleased to have my opinion shared by the band in later years when they mentioned it in interviews. I do like it, but there's no way in hell I could vote for it. My vote goes to the amazingly quirky "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight", a definite highlight of the Gabriel years, and with some tasty fusion-inspired playing from Collins and Hackett. Essential, ten-out-of-ten Genesis track. ------------- Genesis/Yes/Rush/Marillion/VDGG&PH/The Flower Kings/Zappa/Änglagĺrd/Wobbler/PFM/Banco/Le Orme/Jethro Tull/Spock's Beard/Transatlantic/Ayreon/Beardfish/IQ/Dream Theater/Opeth/P.Tree/Arena/Camel/Kaipa! |

Firth of Fifth, no doubt about it. Then The Cinema Show.

Firth of Fifth is the only Genesis Song that I really like. I went to a Steve Hackett show only for this song and I don't regret it! |

Firth of Fifth is terribly overrated. The solo is cool, but the rest of the song is uninteresting.
I pick The Cinema Show. |
Posted By: Follix
Date Posted: August 22 2010 at 15:28
I don't see how it can be overrated when the last time I hear it on radio is in 1976. |

I don't mean overrated mainstream-wise. I mean overrated by this site and Genesis fans. |

This is such a hard question. I almost feel guilty to answer... because I love both "Moonlit Knight" and "Firth of Fifth" equally... however, I would have to choose "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" for it's sheer power and the eerie Mellotron progression. Hackett's solo in "Firth of Fifth" is the best of his Genesis career. I saw him perform it during one of his solo concerts, and it was breathtaking. ------------- CLH |

I don't think More Fool Me I is as bad as this poll is showin, it is one gentle, peacefull and a nice composed aucustic ballad, which is one of the Key ingrediences to perfect Prog album, I wote for Firth to Fifth becouse a prog-album also needs a intstrumental showeoff, important  .

Date Posted: August 27 2010 at 23:08
| ^ Even though More Fool Me may not be soo bad, I'm not impressed nobody has voted for it. The fact that nobody has voted for it doesn't necessarily mean that everybody hates it, only that nobody thinks it's the Best. And having DwtMK, FoF, and TCS, it would be very difficult that someone would end up choosing this one. Even for someone who would prefer something more pop, there is "I know what I like". |

I don´t know that´s a joke or not. If isn´t I recommend you download/purchase and listening to this album. As regards similarity with Invisible Touch, it´s negligible. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!
