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.


Yeah, that's what I meant LOL

Are you the famous "Keltic" from various other forums of old?

Or infamous ? Whichever you prefer.  Wink
 
Well, of course 'tis me . If I catch anyone impersonating my good self, he ( or she ) will hereby be sentenced to listen to those ghastly  Phil Collins solo albums forever more in a darkened room. LOL
 
I was gently hauled/cajoled  out of semi - retirement  ( er, make that invited  Big smile)  to <aherm> add  a little spice to this here proggy  forum  -  whilst offering my very own unique take and slant on things.
 
I'm settling in quite nicely.

It's a trick question to name just three because there are four songs that stick out:
 
1. Supper's Ready
2. Firth of Fifth
3. One for the Vine/Cinema Show (that's why I'm cheating a bit here)
 
Musical Box, Stagnation and Looking for Someone are great as well.

Yeah, that's because I'm odd, so I guess that's why. LOL
 
I don't consider myself odd, but I've always loved The Waiting Room.  Whilst it doesn't quite make my top 3, it's close.  Love the weird bit, but the end sequence of the song particularly is amazing music, and a real highlight of The Lamb.

Hello all,

- Supper's Ready
- The Fountain Of Salmacis
- Star of Sirius

OK, for the last one I cheated.  But the track has been called elsewhere the greatest Genesis song not on a Genesis album.  I find I can't get enough of that track, let alone many of the others on Acolyte. 

But if forced to give a #3 track actually by Genesis then I suppose I would say good old reliable Watcher of the Skies.  But then again how can I leave out the Lamb?  Or leave out... oh decisions, decisions!

Only 3? that's imposible!
I guess they would be:

Firth of Fifth
The Musical Box
Super's Ready

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...
