My favorite is The Lamia, but Colony of Slippermen and The Lamb come in close too.

- Fly on a winshield
- Cuckoo Cocoon
- In the cage
- Back in NYC
- Lamia
- Colony of Slippermen
- Riding The Scree

My favourite Lamb song:
"Bring me mint sauce my dear
to eat with tender lamb
Come forth with gravy, love
Made by your hand."

Call me shallow if you like, but I LOVE 'In The Cage'... especially the live version on 'Three Sides...' it made a strong impression on me when I first heard it, at the time when I didn't know what 'Prog' was (some will say I still don't!  ).

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Tough decision. I went with Fly on A Windshield/Broadway melody. Other possible choices include: Back In NYC, The Lamb..., In THe Cage, Counting out time, Grand Parade...,and more.

"Fly On A Windsheld/Broadway Melody" - very sinister stuff with some awesomely cool lyrics.

I chose It (In the cage, Back in NYC, Carpet Crawlers, Slippermen, The Lamb all came close). It is just a brilliant finishing touch to one of the best albums ever written.

The Lamia is taking the lead.
Great disturbed voice, followed by a sensitive guitar solo.

Fly on a windshield / Broadway melody of 1974
The tension that is mounting, the way Peter Gabriel sings it, the lyrics... incredible
I like the music from The Lamia a lot too. But there's so much to discover on the album. I saw the live show by The Musical Box when they played the album, together with costumes and all the slides... Fantastic!

Strangely enough I think three songs are significantly better than the rest ... Lamia, In The Cage and Anyway.
But it's very hard pick between the three ... right now ... (aaargh!) ... Lamia

I chose "The Waiting Room" but I prefer the live version jam where Tony bends the pitch of the choir sound on his Mellotron. Way spooky.
