I voted for Entangled.

I would vote for Los Endos if it were longer. It's fantastic for what's there, but then it's over and then what? Very disappointing. They should have developed it more. I do like how Hackett interjects additional stuff in the middle.

@Icarum. I agree the title track showcases an excellent lyric and is pretty clever all around. I think the best lyric on the album is Mad Man Moon.

I really hate playing favorites.  It's a pointless exercise in my opinion but what the hell.  I'll play the game.

^^^ I agree. I like every track. Even the relatively weak tracks (weak IMO) are better than the weak tracks on W&W and ATTWT. I love the whole package from the artwork to the production and the dreamy storybook feel of the album. A true classic.

I love this album. My favourite track is Dance on a Volcano. It's the song that got me into Genesis.

I don't know, something between "Entangled", "Squonk", and the title song... definitley not Dance on a Volcano... nor even Los Endos (even if they are, seemingly, the more popular ones here). I guess Entangled for being the little bit proggier one out of the ones I like.

"Dance"! But this is one of my three favorite Genesis albums, anyway.

I really like Entangled and Squonk, but I think Dance on a Volcano is what really made this album a favorite for me from the first listen. It was the sound and delivery, which was a new experience compared to previous albums, harder edged and biting.

Dance' followed by 'Moon (and the rest of the album including Trick' is damn fine, also).

A great Genesis album, with great songs and excellent melodies. It's a hard choice, but I'll vote for ripples, just because of Steve Hackett's great guitar solo.

Dance on a volcano but entangled is a close second. After that my favorites are mad man moon and then the rest.
