Tony Banks has always been able to craft some really beautiful keyboard solos during all the genesis discography, despite the band going full pop in the 80's.  Post the ones you enjoy most. My list:1. Cinema Show 2. Firth of Fifth 3. Suppers Ready (Apocalypse) 4. Duke's Travel 5. Entangled 6. Stagnation 7. Home By The Sea 8. Fading Lights 9. Living Forever 10. The Musical Box Some honorable mentions: Watcher of the Skies Riding the Scree Slipperman There must be some other way Abacab Submarine |

| ^ You’ve covered most bases right there !! Living Forever is another good one. For some reason, I liken Banks to Bardens. |

In The Cage The Lady Lies I love every solo Banks does. He’s in my Top-5 Keyboard players. |

I agree. Even Rick Wakeman likes him enough to put his arm on his shoulder.

Apocalypse Hogweed Can-Utility
Slippermen its really hard to know what are actual solos sometimes The Hogweed one is really a piano break , perhaps not a full blown solo , bit it's totally sublime and one of the best things ever. Apocalypse still wins easily.  |

I generally prefer Tony Banks' keyboard solos on his solo albums.

They're more common (unsurprisingly) so I expect there's more chance of there being good one on his solo albums. I need to listen to his solo stuff more... ------------- "Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" - Robert Fripp "I am an anti-Christ" - Johnny Rotten |
