The question, as posed by the OP, is one i cant really answer as there are too many to choose. But if the question is slightly changed to 'you can pick one PG era track to play for the day but thats all' it would have to be either 'Twilight Alehouse' or 'Can-utility and the Coastliners'

Those two outstanding songs are in my Genesis Top 5 too, which goes something like this:- 1. Firth of Fifth 2. Watcher of the Skies 3. The Musical Box 4. The Knife 5. Supper's Ready

I can never really decide. I suppose to humor you, The Colony of Slippermen.

Firth of Fifth, just over The Musical Box.

So difficult to pick just one... Can-Utility, Firth of Fifth or Cinema Show.

Although I resist appellations such as the single best, I will humor you
 and say the Musical Box, which was my first thought. So many other great tracks have also been mentioned.

Dancing with the Moonlit Knight. I might even like it more than Supper's Ready.

I think I'd have to vote for Dancing With The Moonlit Knight.

Single best is a hard call. Can-Utility and the Coastliners is a stand-out for me, with The Fountain of Salmacis close on its heels.

I hate the word "best" in music comparisons........There are too many IMO to pick from. So this doesn't get too boring.

Well that's an album not a track, but I have to go for a track from that album - Musical Box.

Can-Utility and the Coastliners. English myth concerning King Canute trying to stop the tide and the great interplay between all the bandmembers on that song are quintessential Genesis. There are parts of the song that sound more like Yes than Genesis (and that's a good thing).

This thread is me proving to myself that by proxy, FoF is the best Genesis Gabriel-era song outside of Supper's Ready
