mmm, If this one will end up as tied as the other one, I'll smile.  But for some reason, I'm not as confident as before. |

lol, check the A.T.M.C.O polls! and B.T.M.C.O also... This time, it's easy for me. Dogs certainly. Not that keen of And You And I, neither of Starless. While Musical Box is a masterpiece, compared to Dogs it has no chance, IMHO. |

Well, I admit in this one, I only find And You And I and Starless to be the only outstanding ones, with And You And I being the best. But I know a lot of people dig Musical Box and Dogs. |

Hardest part was choosing between "And You And I" and "Musical Box". I simply don't care for King Crimson and although I like Pink Floyd, I prefer Yes and Genesis. Went with "And You And I". E -------------

Went with Yes and Heart of the Sunrise last time.
This time... I must go with the King C and vote for Starless.

| Starless. John Donne I am told orated his own funeral elegy while lying in a coffin in his church. Fripp did the same with Starless. |

Am I the only one who doesn't like Dogs? I just don't like it, it seems to go on too long with not a lot of ideas.
I chose "And You and I". Such a pretty one. -------------

it's not EXTREMELY hard poll , we all like & enjoy the four songs , but as The Musical Box was my introduction to Genesis in the early 70's , and i love this album Nurcery Cryme , i'll go with Genesis //////// ------------- Tracking Tracks of Rock |

1. Genesis - The Musical Box ? - King Crimson - Starless. I've never heard this one. Might be a gap in my knowledge. |

And You And I, followed by Starless.

grrr, I was afraid Starless was going to be winning actually. Is it really that fantastic? |

You're not alone, my friend. I don't like Dogs for that same exact reason. Well, I do like it, but it doesn't make me thankful for being alive or anything... And You And I, on the other hand, does just that !!!I voted for Yes like I did in the previous poll.

Musical Box and And You And I are the only two I'd consider real masterpiece material. Musical Box edges it, I think, for the sheer power of the guitar/organ interplay. |

Starless , boring? Its because its dark (no stars shining) , an ominous slice of effervescent melancholia that is hard to deny. And You and I is an excellent slice of magic as well. Musical Box is stunning (especially having seen it live with all the theatrics) but I like Cinema Show too. I do not care much for the Floyd tune. (But I do love Dogs!) . So the cosmic black hole wins her but only by a few atoms . ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

This is extremely hard, indeed.
Maybe Starless fo today(I 've listende to quite a lot of KC these days), but next time it could be different.

| went with Dogs because it had fewer votes, on another day or mood I could have voted The Musical Box or Starless, all 3 are favs of mine. |

Musical Box...is my fave Genesis track...full stop... ------------- 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 |

Yikes! Another hard one... This time around Yes narrowly defeats Genesis. ------------- "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - HST |

"Starless" for me. I love the way it builds up on one note of Fripp in the instrumental part which slowly gets higher and higher until the guitar finally shrieks in ecstasy. But good songs except for the Pink Floyd one. I dislike "Animals". -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Another top notch poll Zitro!
A tough choice and I am stuck between Dogs & And You and I. I will go and lie in a darkened room for a few hours and return later to cast my vote.

The Musical Box and Dogs are two prfect songs, but the former just gets it for me. Starless is great but the climax isnt the Earth shattering explosion I was hopping for. And You And I is utterly boreing . ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005
