	Hairless Heart gets the nod for this poll.

	Broadway Melody is not even mostly instrumental. It has lyrics throughout. But I love this post because these Lamb tracks are underrated to me. I'll go Anaesthetist because it's one of my favorite Hackett solos.

	I could vote for anything not called Silent Sorrow and Ravine. Ultimately +1 for Hairless Heart, haunting melody really buried at the heart of the journey.

	It’s hard to pick a favorite, each one fits to the part of the story they belong to. Maybe The Waiting Room, followed by Hairless Heart.

	For me probably either silent sorrow or hairless heart. Fly on a windshield is great too but never thought of it as an instrumental.

	Genesis' 1974 double album, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, was unusual for the fact that there are . . . instrumentals(!) Previously, Steve Hackett's "Horizons" and Steve and Tony's "After the Ordeal" duet had been the only such compositions committed to vinyl. We all know that the album's music was written and recorded before Peter Gabriel sat down to impose his libretto over the top, which probably explains the odd number of wordless songs. Which is your favorite? I have, as you can see, chosen to include the three mostly-instrumental songs in which Gabe's singing occupies less than 30 seconds of the total. This may have been a mistake but I'm willing to let it fly--to see what happens. Good luck! Edited by BrufordFreak - December 07 2020 at 09:27
