Top-5 Genesis songs...

Well, since my first Topic here was about your most favorite Genesis album, I will close the Genesis posts with this one.
And since is really very tough to ask for only one song (and very unfair), here is the question:
Which are your 5 most beloved songs from Genesis?
You can put them in any order you want. (or alltogether!)
I'm sensing that I should start first eh????
Ok, let's see...
I will put them in chronological order.

1. The Knife (Trespass)
2. The Musical Box (Nursery Cryme)
3. Twillight Alehouse (B-side of the single Musical Box)
4. Supper's Ready (Foxtrot) (But only in the live version from the 'Genesis Archives' box set)
5. The Dancing of the Moonlight Knight (Selling England by the Pound)

   I know I left out of this list some really remarkable songs, like The Fountain of Salmasis, The Lamia, Carpet Crawlers, Firth of Fifth, etc etc... But what can I do? I can't ask for the top-20 songs!
 (But it would have been easier that way)
I hope you will like this topic and respond...

Very difficult. Favourite 10 would be hard enough!

Here's five OF my favourite Genesis songs, in no order...

Suppers Ready
In the Cage
Dance on a volcano
One for the vine
Burning Rope

Supper's Ready

Haven't we had this thread before? Anyway....

I love all of these songs in your list. It's just so hard to make this list because so much has to be neglected.

I hear you. Five songs is quite a challenge for such a great band, who made consistently good music for so long..

Good pick of Burning Rope! Not sure if that'd be in my top 5, but great song.

But, my random favorite 5 are: Supper's Ready
The Lamia
Squonk
Blood On The Rooftops
The Cinema Show
The Musical Box

Hmmm...

The Musical Box
Firth of Fifth
The Cinema Show
The Knife
...something else...?

I read all your posts, and thank you for commenting first of all.
But I have one question: I don't see anybody refers to the song 'Twilight Alehouse'.
This happens because nobody really likes that song? I'm the only one who thinks it is an amazing song?
Or you just never heard about it? As I wrote it was on the b-side of the single 'The musical Box' and you can't find it in any record. Only in the box set "Genesis Archives". If you haven't heard it, go to YouTube and find it. I believe it surely worth it!
 I had this song in an old video tape from a live performance for the Belgian Tv I think.
There were the usual and very known songs, The Musical Box, The Fountain of Salmacis, etc. And that one!
I had no idea where was that song. I was searching and searching, but nothing. So every time I had to put this video tape in order to listen to it. Until one day the video tape was destroyed! And I was panicked! Where I could find that song again? Nobody had no idea about it.
   Thankfully sometime later that Cd box was released, and the song was inside! Hoorraayy!!! hahahaha
Anyway...

I just looked this up on youtube, as i wasn't even aware it existed. sounded pretty good, but it doesn't affect my top 5 (no order):

The Knife
The Musical Box
Return of the Giant Hogweed
Supper's Ready
Firth of Fifth




having said this, i'm working through the genesis discography in chronological order, and am currently on the Lamb, so who knows, it may change. the albums i have listened to i know really well though, so for tresspass to SEBTP, this is set.
