Saw the Pink Floyd thread and thought I should do one myself. Seeing as Genesis is my favourite prog band, I'd love to see what you're favourite song is from each album Big smile

Here are mine: 

From Genesis To Revelation: In The Wilderness (actually, my 2nd favourite Genesis song - sorry guys Tongue)
Trespass: Stagnation
Nursery Cryme: The Musical Box
Foxtrot: Can-Utility And The Coastliners (one of the greatest songs ever written, and my favourite Genesis song atm)
Selling England By The Pound: Dancing With The Moonlit Knight
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway: Anyway (so close - about 13 epic songs on there)
A Trick Of The Tail: Dance On A Volcano
Wind & Wuthering: One For The Vine
And Then There Were Three: Burning Rope
Duke: Behind The Lines
Abacab: title track
Genesis: Mama
Invisible Touch: title track
We Can't Dance: I Can't Dance
Calling All Stations: title track

From Genesis to Revelation: The Serpent
Trespass: Stagnation
Foxtrot: Can-Utility...
Selling England: the Cinema Show
The Lamb: Hairless Heart (okay, that's not a song, but it's what hooked me on Genesis), so instead I'll go with the Lamia
Trick: Squonk
Wind: Blood on the Rooftops
And then there were Three: Deep in the Motherlode

I'll stop there. It was at one time my favourite band, but I lot some interest post these albums.
