The top three are untouchable, the next two are great, Battle is decent, More Fool Me is tolerable

Edit: Just realized I have the exact same listing as the OP. Not bad... 

 
My choice exactly.

I had to think about it a bit if I was going to put "dancing" above "after the ordeal" but ultimately I decided to. "After the ordeal" is one of the best prog instrumentals imo though. I also had to think for a second if I was going to put "battle" ahead of "more fool me" since both are at the bottom of the barrel for me. At least "battle" has a lot going on and goes by fast even though I don't like it nearly as much as some of the others. "More fool me" is pleasant enough I suppose but it's hard to view it as anything other than filler. "I know what I like" I actually like a lot because it's catchy but it's admittedly a prog pop song(maybe one of their very first).

1, 2, and 3 switch around every now and again, but 9 times out of 10 I think I'd put them in this order:

1. The Cinema Show/Aisle of Plenty (I too consider them to be one track)
2. Dancing With The Moonlit Knight
3. Firth of Fifth 
4. After The Ordeal
5. More Fool Me 
6. I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)
7. The Battle of Epping Forest (Possibly the worst Genesis song, period)

1-5 are all good or great songs, the last two not so much.

How would you rank the tracks on "Selling England by the Pound" by Genesis. Here's my order:

1. Firth of Fifth
2. Cinema Show/ Aisle of Plenty (I consider them one track)
3. Dancing with the Moonlit Knight
4. After the Ordeal
5. I Know What I Like (In your wardrobe)
6. The Battle of Epping Forest
7. More Fool Me
