Whenever I listen to TLLDoB, I ALWAYS skip over The Waiting Room. I find it a complete bore and a total waste of time and space.

I know a lot of people hate it, but Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats is my choice, and one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs the band has ever done!

You're thinking of Back in NYC which precedes Hairless Heart, but includes a reference to a "fluffy heart" (where the name for HH comes from). But yeah, Back in NYC is AWESOME.

Yep. I was going to say how can that be since Hairless Heart is instrumental.  Wink

Actually Windshield's lyrics and Broadway's lyrics are separated by a great instrumental break, but it's not clear to which track it should be attributed. I always assumed it was part of Broadway based on the vinyl track space on the vinyl I had bought back then, but apparently the flow seems reversed in recent years

Yeah, both were written to allowThe Gabe to slide in and out of his Slipperman suit on stage, but the former is truly daring StarClapStarClap(Genesis never went that far again) while the latter is an absolute boreSleepy.

Correct, and I always forget that...because IIIIIIII don't care....WHO I HIT! No you're only...as strong...yes you're only...as strong...as the weakest link...in the chain! WinkCool
I got into trouble for playing "Back in NYC" in a school music lesson once, just because he says "I'm not full of sh*t". The same teacher also stopped us playing "Squeeze Box" by The Who midway through the first verse.

A true instrumental tack which always gets me: Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats. It is simple on the surface but it conveys a mood of melancholy, regret, and yes, sorrow, beautifully.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

the whole album is so amazing and creative when I see a list like this---it really shows how great it is---I love Hairless Heart--but Fly on a windshield really blows me away but is it really just an instrumental?

Hearing "Hairless Heart" at a play's after-show party, and not knowing what it was, was the start of a long and deep journey into Prog for me, and while I had already discovered what it was a couple of years before joining here (through internet music samples), I don't think that I'd be here or have got so deeply into Prog had I not spend so much time searching for that song (if only I had never heard it). ;) It remains my favourite by Genesis (rather like how The Rock was most important to me by The Who).

Hairless Heart is probably the highlight of a very patchy album.
