Yes to 'Stagnation' - such a GREAT song! I almost feel that they threw "The Knife" in, as a way to appeal to the protesting sentiment of the time: 1968-1970 (Definitely an anti-Vietnam War period piece; but, whether it was in Britain at the time, I don't have a clue since I am an American). You can see why the Italians rejoiced over the album (all but "The Knife," to be sure), since it was in sync with their classical sentiments and sympathies...

This. Although I like the music of the whole album, this song stands out for me.

The whole album is wonderful.
Sleep inducing? I'd call it atmospheric.
Foe sleep inducing see any Keith Emerson solo.

First vote for it and not surprised considering how out of touch my tastes and theirs seem to be.

Typical genesis album IMO. Great moments.. the beginning and end.. and then you have the rest of album. Sleep inducing

Stagnation has always been my fav track on this mini-masterpiece.

A fantastic album, but I feel as though The Knife would easily win this poll, so I'll go with the other 5 very strong songs. I give it to Stagnation, a beautiful pastoral prog piece that always wows me.
