Ok, Here's the deal , you get to pick 8 Genesis tracks to go on your own compilation album. The one rule is you can only use one track form each existing album. Pick for any 8 albums you like. Don't worry about song length, just pick 8 songs.  

Something like this...

1. Suppers Ready
2. Firth of Fifth
3. In the cage
4. Dance on a Volcano
5. One for the Vine
6. Behind the lines
7. Keep it dark
8. It's gonna get Better

Hmm the thing about Genesis for me is they have quite a few great songs that are scattered about on albums so this seems like a good exercise

1. Musical Box
2. Watcher of the Skies
3. Cinema Show (could also be Dancing with the Moonlit Night)
4. The Lamia
5. Entangled
6. One for the Vine
7. hmm I ran out here.  maybe a couple of the poppy songs like Jesus He Knows Me and Land of Confusion

The Musical Box
Firth of Fifth
Afterglow
Home by the sea/ Second Home by the sea
Dance on a volcano
Suppers Ready
Many too many
Dukes Travels/Dukes End


Those that didn't make the cut:

Watcher of the skies
One for the vine
Duchess
Fountain of Sulmacis
Hairless Heart
Entangled
Lamb lies down on broadway

Ask me tomorrow and it would likely be different.

I can't make my list according to these rules. Mostly, I need 3 songs from Selling England, otherwise the compilation isn't complete.

Tricky topic: the first Genesis album was (according to Tony Banks) a Bee Gees pastiche, and since the ninth album Genesis delivered mainly prog pop. So I use the album Live (I didn't notice restrictions about that) to pick up make 8 tracks:

The Knife
The Musical Box
Supper's Ready
Watcher Of The Skies (from Live)
Firth Of Fifth
In The Cage
Los Endos
.. In That Queit Earth ...

 I get it, I would probably want three from SEBTP as well. ( at least two) I just wanted to make people dig a little deeper. 
Otherwise it would have been mostly Foxtrot, Lamb & SEBTP.

Nice thread idea - even the classics can still make a worthwhile thread.

1) Watcher of the Skies
2) Entangled
3) Turn it on Again
4) Fly on a Windshield
5) Looking for Someone
6) Dodo/Lurker
7) Dancing With the Moonlit Knight
8) The Return of the Giant Hogweed

An alternative version would have (all not selected above by the thinnest of margins), this time without attention to order: The Knife - Harlequin - Get 'em out by Friday - The Cinema Show - Carpet Crawlers - Dance on a Volcano - Down and Out or Behind the Lines - Abacab

PS: Not that anyone is interested, but the order is of course the play order on the compilation album, not a preference order.

I caught that a little while ago. I just updated my list to reflect the rules so please take another look.
