It``s a hard question, because I like a lot of their songs, but from the Peter Gabriel years I think that "Supper``s ready" is the best.

From the Phil Collins years, maybe "Dance on a volcano".

I love all those songs, and plenty more besides.

I voted for Dance on a volcano because it was the first Genesis song I heard as a prog band. I was hooked after hearing that one song!

Thanks Tommy Vance  RIP

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

From "Nursery Cryme" to "Selling England..." every 7+ minute song is a masterpiece, as well as the Fountain Of Salmacis and After The Ordeal, a great instrumental.

Best Genesis song!! now that's impossible to figure out... ok, maybe it can be done... my top 10 genesis songs right now is:

1. The Musical Box
2. Supper's Ready
3. Firth of Fifth
4. One for the Vine
5. Cinema Show
6. In the Cage
7. Dancing with the Moonlight Knight
8. Watcher of the Skies
9. Los Endos
10. The Fountain of Salmacis

damn it hurts so much to leave aside such hymns like The Return of the Giant Hogweed, Eleventh Earl of Mar, The Knife, Dance on a Volcano, Burning Rope, Can-Utility and the Coastliners... aaarggghhh..... Down and Out!!!!!

Autenticidad, actitud, pluralidad, espiritu e inteligencia, si es prog bien, si no, tambien.

The one after Harlequin
Information is not knowledge
Knowledge is not wisdom
Wisdom is not truth
Truth is not beauty
Beauty is not love
Love is not music
Music is the best...

Hey alchemist, have you ever been asked to choose between your children?

How on earth do you choose between tracks of a band that has produced so many brilliant ones?

My favs are : Canutility; Salmacis; Blood on the Rooftops; Firth; Unquiet Slumbers; Ripples; Mad Man Moon; White Mountain; Harlequin; Broadway Melody 1974; Horizons; Cinema Show; Anyway; Afterglow; Stagnation  .....

....but I could just as well list every track between FGTR to WAW

"...seems Helen of Troy has found a new face, again ..."

Supper's Ready

Cinema show is awesome though

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

Dancing With The Moonlit Knight, Firth of Fifth, and Cinema Show are the greatest Genesis tracks. And some of the greatest tracks in prog.

Dancing With The Moonlit Knight. Steve Hackett is just fantastic on that track.

White Mountain

Thin hung the web like a trap in a cage,
The fox lay asleep in his lair.
Fangs frantic paws told the tale of his sin.
Far off the chase shrieked revenge.

Outcast he trespassed where no wolf may tread,
The last sacred haunt of the dead.
He learnt of a truth which only one wolf may know,
The sceptre and crown of the king,
Howling for blood, One-eye leads on the pack,
Plunging through forests and snow-storms.

Steep rose the ridge, ghostly peaks climbed the sky,
Fang sped through jungles of ice.
Hard on his rail, One-eye drew from the pack
An old hero conquered by none.

Steep, far too steep, grew the pathway ahead
Descent was the only escape
A wolf never flees in the face of his foe
Fang knew the price he would pay
One-eye stood before him
With the crown upon his head
Sceptre raised to deal the deadly blow.

Fang, Son of Great Fang, the Traitor we seek,
The laws of the Brethren say this:
That only the King sees the Crown of the Gods
And he, the Usurper must die

Snarling he tore at the throat of his foe
But Fang fought the hero in vain
Dawn saw the white mountain tinted with red
Never would the crown leave again
One-eye hid the crown and with laurels on his head
Returned amongst the tribe and dwelt in peace.
