TOP 20 Genesis Songs - #8

If you're a newcomer - in each thread we're voting for the greatest GENESIS songs (following the method agreed upon  https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=122278" rel="nofollow - 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.

Voting is closed.
No. 8 song is Dancing with the Moonlit Knight

01. Dancing with the Moonlit Knight. 19.0 pts
02. The Knife. 17.0 pts
03. The Fountain of Salmacis. 16.5 pts
04. The Return of Giant Hogweed. 13.5 pts
04. One for the Vine. 13.5 pts

Now that Can-Utility is up there, I will surely back one of the Lamb songs, most likely Anyway or The Lamia.

Domino is pretty darn good for 1986 Prog. Great composition, pity the production. IT has NOT aged well (at this moment - who knows, it may be awesome in 8 years time ??)

Oh - yes, it has, it’s quite beautiful. I should’ve said I’m surprised someone else likes this (very subtle) track. I love ATTWT as much as WaW.

I hope it will not get on the list. Weakest song in Trick IMO. Just so many greater songs that are not on the list, I just wait some Lamb song into it.

There are no weak tracks on Trick Smile

Well, Ripples is not the worst Genesis track (it´s Invisible Touch if not counting "Calling All Stations" as Genesis album) but when talking about Phil´s cheesy tracks (yes I know Rutherford and Banks got credits of Ripples) I prefer More Fool Me. And all the way Genesis cheesy tracks are not essential Genesis for me.

1. Dance on a Volcano
2. In The Cage
3. Behind The Lines

 Looking at the votes up until this point I'm guessing Fountain Of Salmacis or Stagnation will be next on the list.

Firth of Fifth and The Musical Box are already on the list. They were voted in a couple weeks ago (Firth of Fifth in February, actually). Big smile Please fix your votes if possible (if not, I will simply award points for no. 1 & 2 songs you mentioned).

My vote:
Seven Stones
Dancing with the Moonlit Knight
The Lamia

I'd like to have one Lamb song in TOP10 if it was up to me Tongue When it comes to Trick, I feel there are at least 3 vastly better songs (Dance, Squonk, Endos) and a couple I still prefer to Ripples (RA&B, Mad Man Moon, Entangled). Ripples have fantastic moments but are almost as saccharine as YOSW
