   Favorite Songs on The Lamb:
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Fly on a Windshield, Cuckoo Cocoon, In the Cage, The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging, Back in N.Y.C., Hairless Heart, Counting Out Time, Carpet Crawlers, The Chamber of 32 Doors, Lilywhite Lilith, Anyway, Supernatural Anesthetist, The Light Lies Down on Broadway, Riding the Scree, and It.
"Slippermen" makes me cringe. I voted for In the Cage, but Carpet Crawlers, The Chamber of 32 Doors, the title track, the Grand Parade, and It come dang close.
This album is a post-modern work of art!

	The Lamb is my joint favourite Genesis album along with 'Trick of the tail' I chose 'In the cage' after some careful consideration. It was a tough choice as there are so many brilliant songs on this album. 'In the cage' for me is one of the most exciting pieces of rock music ever recorded. Tony Banks' riffing hammond organ and blinding keyboard solo make it so. As well as the intensity of Gabriels performnce. Classic!
	Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

	CC, just in front of The Lamia. Gorgeous songs.

	Not my favourite by Genesis either, but as you say, it does have some good tracks. Actaully, "Back in NYC" is my least favourite, I never "got" that one at all. It didn't help that my vinyl copy, which was certainly well played, skipped right at the start of that track, so I always think the track goes "I see places and traces Oback in New York City". I clicked on "In the cage", then remembered "Carpet Crawlers" just in time to go for that. Gabriel's vocal on "CC" still sends shivers up my spine. Edited by Easy Livin

	Actually Lamb isn't one of my favourite albums but undoubtedly it is a home to some of the best Genesis songs ever. The first time I heard 'Back In N.Y.C.' it blew me away.I love the way the drums are played on this and the keyboard sounds are very original.That's even before talking about the lyrics such as ''Your progressive hypocrites hand out their trash,but it was mine in the first place ,so I'll burn it to ash.'' Difficult choice I know but go on... pick one.
