This is not fair! To make me vote for only one track of Genesis when I want to select most of the offered choices. Anyway, after beating my head to the wall I finally decided that nothing (except for a few Yes tracks...) can surpass the shear brilliance of Firth of Fifth, so that is my choice.. Allthough tomorrow I would allready probably vote for another one... ------------- To be the one who seeks so I may find .. (Metallica) |

It might have been easier to ask which one I would like to hear right now. There is not one on the list that I don't thoroughly enjoy. "Can Utility" tugs at me, as well as "Firth of Fifth," but I always have to go back to "Supper's Ready." It's just so, so, good. ------------- a.k.a.

| I had to go with "Firth". I thought of it like this: What if I had to play a Genesis song to someone who had never heard the band before? Supper's Ready might be a bit daunting. Musical Box-- well-- I remember hearing that for the first time and being pretty confused. Can-Utility might be a good choice but I think Giant Hogweed might be a better choice than that, even. |

Ok, that was tough.. 
I voted for Suppers Ready, but deliberated a lot over the choice. So much good music, so many different reasons for loving different songs equally. If that makes sense.. Basically, in order of preference..

| Though FoF is probably Genesis' best track ever, my own personal favourite is "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" - one of the strongest album openers of all time, and one of Gabriel's best vocal performances. I also have a soft spot for "One for the Vine", though I would've mentioned also "Blood on the Rooftops" and "Eleventh Earl of Mar". |

Great battle raging, Supper's Ready v Muscal Box v Firth Of Fifth..excellent! I voted for Cinema Show myself as I love the feel good moments that Tony's solos provide us with. Obviously I realised there would be many tracks not in the poll but I was trying to get an even spread of the main prog based albums and I only had 25 slots. Once the poll has run it's course I will rerun it taking out all the nil and one point finishers and replace them with others including all your 'others' suggestions! Keep voting though, this is great to watch! ------------- Thoughtfullness |

I did notice a couple of interesting facts though, Fountain Of Salmacis was felt by the Band and the record company to be one of the more popular tracks, and clearly this is not reflected in this poll. The other thing I have noticed is that Los Endos has not picked up a single vote yet. Is this because you all see Los Endos as part of Dance On A Volcano? Would I have been better to have put them together? It just seems strange that no one has voted for it! ------------- Thoughtfullness |

Supper's ready, maybe a bit too obvious but my favourite. Honorable mentions could go to many songs, The Lamia is great for example.

I still think Fountain of Salmacis is very popular and in a lot of people's top ten. It is in mine. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

I love this smily. Where'd you get it? This is a hard poll. I think I'd just pick all of Selling England if I had the choice. It might just be a tie between Can-Utility, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight, Firth of Fifth, and Cinema Show, with Supper's Ready trying to keep up. If you had asked me six months ago, I'd tell you Firth of Fifth. If you had asked me four months ago, I'd tell you Dancing with the Moonlit Knight. If you had asked me Two months ago, I'd tell you Can-Utility. But right now I'll have to go with Cinema Show. One thing's for sure... it's still the best neo-prog song around.-------------

An almost impossible choice for a die-hard Genesis fan like me. I could, at various times, vote for pretty much any of these. It's a pity 'Entangled' wasn't on there, or 'Blood On The Rooftops' though, or the choice would have been even harder!
