A little birdy with too much time putting off his paperwork told me that the running totals so far, excluding one vote getters and the later era trolling is:
Carpet Crawlers - 2
Chamber of 32 Doors - 2
Eleventh Earl of Mar - 2
Dance on a Volcano - 2
Blood on the Rooftops - 2
Can - Utility and the Coastliners - 2
Colony of Slippermen - 2
Lamia - 3
Return of Giant Hogweed - 4
Entangled - 4
In the Cage - 6
One for the Vine - 6
Dancing with the Moonlit Knight - 10
Cinema Show (w or w/o Aisle of Plenty) - 13
Musical Box - 20
Firth of Fifth - 21
Supper's Ready - 25
I love virtually all classic Genesis, but I'm a little puzzled at Firth over Moonlit Knight....oh well. It all great music.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Stagnation and Knife each got one vote. A little surprised on the latter. I'm a big Trespass fan, too, but I typically think of "The Knife" and "the rest of Trespass" to which I actually enjoy "the rest of Trespass" a little bit better.

1. Dancing With the Moonlit Knight 2. Watcher of the Skies 3. Squonk
These were hard choices to make ... simply too much good stuff to pick from! And I guess that in a week or two I'll shake my head over them.

I'm not too fond of Visions of Angels, but the rest is great, especially The Knife. My only gripe with that song is that the version on Genesis Live is far superior.

Pretty good, but you can't listen to Riding the Scree without In The Rapids... and It... and The Light Dies Down On Broadway. Okay, it's basically come down to you can't listen to The Scree without the rest of the damn album. That's my problem. All the stuff on The Lamb is so damn good, I can't just listen to one part of it.

Nice to see someone else has a love for "Waiting Room". It gets my top spot too. The other two are "The Knife" (in the live version) and "The Return of the Giant Hogweed".

Here's mine: 1) Supper's Ready 2) The Cinema Show 3) Firth of Fifth Call me opinionated but I think those choosing "The Waiting Room" are just trying to be controversial

I don't find the choice of The Waiting Room controversial, but I do find it quite odd - and certainly out of kilter with most of the perceived wisdom and Genesis fans' opinions.
I have been listening to Genesis since the early 70s, and since The Lamb ( which is my fav Genesis album incidentally ) was released in 74, I have yet to hear one fan ( outside this forum) mention or list The Waiting Room among their favourite Genesis tracks. It is a good instrumental and fits well with the album's atmosphere - but it is stretching the imagination just a little to suggest that it belongs among Genesis' more memorable tracks.
