Make your own Genesis album!

Squonk [1976] Ballsy, imaginative, a perfect opener.
One for the Vine [1976] Perhaps the most accomplished song of Collins Era.
Guide Vocal [1980] The lyrics say it all: "I am the one who guided you this far (...) I call you for I must leave (...) There was a choice but now it's gone".

The Cinema Show [1973] Enter Gabriel Era, thank you.
Seven Stones [1971] Magical moment with edwardian rock.
Stagnation [1970] Underrated gem on par with later classics.
The Lamia [1974] Dark, emotional, sophisticated; works great in the middle.
Supper's Ready [1972] Chills down my spine.

My ex tempore list is thought to be a one vinyl compilation (max 48 min., some editing would perhaps be needed), and it's unimaginatively chronological, but if I was to take this more seriously I'd probably think of another kind of running order.
Just for my own curiosity, I pick only 4 tracks from the Gabriel era, and also I try to avoid choosing the most expected songs.


1. Looking for Someone
2. Seven Stones
3. Firth of Fifth
4. Anyway
5. Blood on the Rooftops
6. Say It's All Right Joe
7. Duchess
8. Home by the Sea

I think I already posted one, but I just had the idea of how much I'd like a compilation album of great Genesis "shorts" to enjoy in their own right, starting from the start, From Genesis to Revelation, to ....
