I think you're overestimating the sanity of us proggers... Alright let me work this out now Roughly Top Five: The Waiting Room Fly on a Windshield Here Comes the Supernatural Anesthetist In The Cage Carpet Crawlers Roughly 6-10: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway The Light Lies Down on Broadway It The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats Options for #11: Hairless Heart Broadway Melody of 1974 Counting Out Time Final Choice: Hairless Heart Most of the rest of the album is so forgettable that I couldn't rank the tracks even if I had just listened to them. If anyone's curious, Back in NYC is easily the worst track.

Not sure what the h*ll this poll is asking me, but I went with Counting out Time for the h*ll of it... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

From Counting Out Time: "Touch and go with 1-6. Bit of trouble in zone No. 7. Gotta remember all of my tricks. There's heaven ahead in No. 11!" I chose The Waiting Room, and my ranking went something like this: Hairless Heart The Lamia In the Cage Carpet Crawlers Fly on a Windshield Supernatural Anaesthetist The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Broadway Melody Cuckoo Cocoon Light Dies Down on Broadway The Waiting Room |

"vote your favorite 5th track off of a Charisma Records released Genesis album." Who's going to make that one eh? These Genesis topics are getting out of hand.

 I link "11th" rather to Wind and Wuthering, though it has only 9 tracks, than to The Lamb somehow.Nevertheless these are my 11 favourites: 1. Riding the Scree 2. In the Cage 3. Colony of Slippermen 4. Fly on a Windshield 5. Back in N.Y.C. 6. Lillywhite Lilith 7. The Chamber of 32 Doors 8. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway 9. The Carpet Crawlers 10. The Supernatural Anaesthetist 11. In the Rapids -------------

| I always see albums like the Lamb as a unit, not a bunch of songs, so I cannot really choose my favorite one. |

Well I'd imagine that one would be a steal for In The Cage, although I'd pick Dusk. Though if Genesis Live were also included, The Knife would be some fierce competition. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |
