Not a lot of love for IT it seems (no pun intended, also this post marks 1000 points, which is cool)

I quite love that track, top 5 off the album for me
The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow.

Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time...

04. (tie: would never consider playing one without the others) Fly On a Windshield / Broadway Melody of 1974 / Cuckoo Cocoon

I remember an excerpt from a Tony Banks interview about TLLDOB published in 1974 before the Lamb official release.
"our next album will be double and formed of a 23-section suite as Supper's ready has 7"

Personally, I have always considered TLLDOB as a whole in four tableaux (the 4 sides whose lengths were limited only by the technology available back then) with of course a lot of key highlights.

So no need for me to rank The lamb epic.

I don't really care for the rest of the album.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

No order inside the stars (the numbers are from the poster above me)


StarStarStarStarStar
1 The Carpet Crawlers
2 The Waiting Room
3 The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
11 Fly on a Windshield
12 Broadway Melody of 1974
19 The Chamber of 32 Doors
15 Counting Out Time

StarStarStarStar
8 The Lamia
22 The Colony of Slippermen
4 In the Cage

No StarStarStar

StarStar
5 The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
9 Anyway
13 Lilywhite Lilith
14 Cuckoo Cocoon
7 Back in NYC
16 The Light Dies Down on Broadway
23 Here Comes the Supernatural Anaesthetist
18 Hairless Heart

Star
10 Riding the Scree
17 In the Rapids
20 Ravine
21 IT




the worst (by far)
6 Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats



As you can tell, I'm definitely into the first disc and could do without most of the second disc.

The Lamb might've gained being a single album (as ost concept double albums)
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

These "Rank The Tracks" lists that keep popping up from days of yore are a lot fun, but let's now be gluttons for punishment and really challenge ourselves with the 23 tracks from Genesis's double album masterpiece!

(Helpful hint for those who are struggling: start by ranking the songs from each individual album side, and go from there!)

1. In the Cage
2. The Carpet Crawlers (or, "Carpet Crawl" if you prefer)
3. The Colony of Slippermen
4. Riding the Scree
5. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
6. Broadway Melody of 1974
7. The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
8. Back in NYC
9. The Light Dies Down on Broadway
10. Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats
11. The Chamber of 32 Doors
12. Fly on a Windshield
13. Lilywhite Lilith
14. Anyway
15. Here Comes the Supernatural Anaesthetist
16. IT
17. Cuckoo Cocoon
18. Hairless Heart
19. Counting Out Time
20. In the Rapids
21. The Lamia
22. Ravine
23. The Waiting Room

Have fun!
