Definitely 11th Earl of Mar, with Blood on the Rooftops and One for the Vine coming immediately next. The instrumentals are good, too - while I absolutely LOATHE Your Own Special Way (not too keen on Afterglow either). BTW, I think that was the last really good album Genesis made before they started going downhill.

'In That Quiet Earth' is proof that songs don't always need lyrics. This song is awesome live.

It has to be Afterglow, followed by Vine and Blood On The Rooftops/Mar.

I've never liked Mouse's Night - a bit cringe-worthy like Robbery, Assault and Battery.

Don't like Your Own Special Way much either.

Afterglow is the standout track in my opinion, and improves massively in concert....brings tears to the eyes at the end when the stage is flooded with purple lights...

Thumbs Up I hear you, Paco, great, evocative song, and I LOVE that Idle "French waiter" sketch! "F*ck off! Don't be following me, eh!" Tender/comic/brilliant!LOL

Hurrah for Monty Python!!  Meaning is sooo underrated, I actually like it as much as the Grail, and much more than Brian.

Oh, and my favorite W&W track is 11th Earl.

One For The Vine- but that's hard because it's such a good album. Better than A Trick of the Tail, IMHO.

I'm surprised that Blood on the Rooftops has only 6 votes. It's my favourite track on the album and IMO one of the best Genesis tracks ever.

This is arguably the best Collins era album. I really cant decide whether I prefer Trick to WAW or not.

One for the Vine gets my vote

Then in order..

Unquiet Slumbers/In that quiet earth
Blood on the rooftops
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Afterglow
Wot Gorrila
All in a mouses night
Your own special way
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

The 1st two tracks are my fav. I voted for One For The Vine. I heard that Tony Banks took a very long time to write it. It's even better on Three Sides Live (UK version).

I love the classical guitar in "Blood on the Rooftops". The entire song emits a wonderful mood.

"Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers..." also puts the listener in a fine mood, often a sleepy one. (I sometimes put that track on while I'm going to bed and I picture the cover art in my mind while my eyes are closed). It works, if there are any insomniacs out there (I know I can be).

One For The Vine is easily the best tune on the album and on e of the best genesis song s of all time. Up there with suppers ready and dancing with the moonlit knight.
