Top 10 Post Gabriel Genesis Songs

Steve Wyzard wrote: I'm kind of stunned so many people are voting for the dreary "Heathaze". This song sounds like an outtake from Tony's A Curious Feeling album and absolutely destroys the momentum created by the first five songs on Duke. I can see this song functioning as a "b" side for a single, but it absolutely did not belong on Duke. At least it's not as bad as "Please Don't Ask".

Always interesting to see how one person's dud is another's favorite. I note that practically every track on ATOTT, W&W, and ATTWT was named by at least one person on this thread (and the majority from Duke and Abacab) so now we know that whenever we accuse these albums of including some fillers, we are insulting the taste of someone on this thread . Maybe it speaks to the quality of Genesis' work during these years that almost every song has at least one fan here. The one I'm a bit surprised has not done better is Squonk. I remember that one playing on the radio quite a bit, at least in Montreal. Then again, we're still waiting for a tally.

Duke’s Travels (10)  9. Squonk (6) 10. Fading Lights (5)    11. Duchess (2) The only thing is, that's not my own personal list. It's a collective list of everyone's votes so far.  I thought it was Father Christmas thread.  So you did not make that nice list...

Philchem8 wrote: My top 10 consists of tracks only from the first 3 post-Gabriel albums, though Heathaze, Turn it On Again and Keep It Dark would make it if 13 equaled 10. In rough order of preference: 1. One for the Vine 2. Ripples 3. Entangled 4. Blood on the Rooftops 5. Burning Rope 6. Undertow 7. Mad Man Moon 8. Snowbound 9. A Trick of the Tail 10.Afterglow

A fine list, although I would have put in Heathaze for Snowbound.

1- Burning Rope

Here are the first 10 that come to mind

This is my list for now. The thing is that it constantly changes day to day. In no order:

1. One for the Vine
2. Entangled
3. Ripples
4. Duke's Travels
5. Down and Out
6. Dance on a Volcano
7. Blood on the Rooftops
8. Mad Man Moon
9. Snowbound
10. CulDeSac
