IMHO, "The Lamia" has every single band member firing on all cylinders for seven solid minutes. A flawless song.

Not a duffer moment in the Gabriel-era cataloge - I had Tresspass on recently for the first time in yonks and, man, that LP gets better with age.  All high points, no particular favorite but if I had to choose:  The Battle of Epping Forest.  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

"Firth of Fifth." "Cinema show" would be right behind that one though.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

So many great ones to pick from, so I´ll chose one not many others will probably even consider: Counting Out Time. It´s not a great epic, or an especially complex progressive rock track, but I absolutely adore the lyrics and the feel good atmosphere of the song.

I'm tempted to go with that too. Incredible song.

But then Firth of Fifth, In the Cage and Chamber of 32 Doors are all up there.

Even the majority of the workers of that company have no idea about the origins of their name, as far as I know. But I once read a newspaper interview of the widow of one of its co-founders. She said, he liked Genesis and Peter Gabriel, hence the name of the company... 


Ok, it was worth making this thread just to learn this.

I think one of the all around best songs was Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

But Moonlit Knight is a favorite of mine.
