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. ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you.

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.

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.

It's a trick question to name just three because there are four songs that stick out:

2. Firth of Fifth
3. One for the Vine/Cinema Show (that's why I'm cheating a bit here)

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! |
