TOP 20 Genesis Songs - #4

First of all - I'm so sorry the project was put on hold in early March without notice. I needed a few weeks off the computer for medical reasons, and once I was 100% okay, I found it hard to find free time for Progarchives. Please accept my apologies. Beer

If you're a newcomer - in each thread we're voting for the greatest GENESIS songs (following the method agreed upon here.)

Every participant names three songs in order of preference:
First song = 4.5 points
Second song = 3 points
Third song = 2 points
After a couple of days I add up your "points" and announce the winning song for a current spot.
Then we move on and vote for the next spot. All points are reset.
Our goal is to come up with 20 songs so it might take some time (riiight..)

Voting is closed.
No. 4 song is... The Musical Box !!!

01. The Musical Box. 21.0 pts
02. Dancing with the Moonlit Knight. 11.0 pts
02. Watcher of the Skies. 11.0 pts
04. Can-Utility and the Coastliners. 9.5 pts

14 users cast their vote. The Musical Box got 4 first place votes to secure the win Clap
45 different songs were voted on in this project (so far).

~~~THE LIST~~~
4. The Musical Box
5. to be continued

My vote:

Can-Utility and the Coastliners [4.5 pts]
Seven Stones [3.0 pts]
Dancing with the Moonlit Knight [2.0 pts]

The first is my favorite mini-epic in Genesis repertoire with fantastic buildup and exciting vocals. Prog Rock 101. Seven Stones is kinda similar, maybe less refined; it definitely oozes that mysterious atmosphere, so it's probably the first song I think of when Nursery Cryme is mentioned (heart of the album, imo).
Moonlit Knight needs no explanation as it's firmly acknowledged as prime Genesis masterwork.

Cristi, did you mean "The Day the Light Went Out", released with Genesis Archives 2 box set? I assume so :) Interesting choices; now I'm listening to Do the Neurotic and find it groovy ^^

Nice! After 11 votes the top spot is still unclear, so I'm going to wait a bit longer.
15 votes is the goal, but 20+ is possible I think.
Would like to hear from regular posters: SacroPorgo, FreneticZetetic, Psychedelic Paul, BaldFriede, Iluvmarillion, dr wu23, chopper, cstack3, The Dark Elf, BrufordFreak, AFlowerKingCrimson, Mormegil, GrumpyProgFan, King of Loss, and many more!!! :)
