No Supper's Ready? Sacrilege. 

Anyway, if you ask five different people you will probably get five different answers. Here is my list of five(I'll also add another five as a bonus). Nope, no "carpet crawlers" from me but I'm sure others will list it. ;)

1. Firth of Fifth (next to SR this is the most essential Genesis song imo).
2. The Musical Box
3. Watcher of the Skies
4. In the Cage (you could do what the original Genesis did with this and incorporate a medley in it)
5. Cinema Show/ Aisle of Plenty (really one track imo)

Bonus 5:

The Knife
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (title track)
Fountain of Sulmacis
Stagnation (very under rated imo)
Return of the Giant Hogweed 

Just missed the list: Dancing with the moonlit knight

1. Watcher of the Skies
2. Firth of the Fifth
3. Carpet Crawlers
4. The Musical Box
5. I Know What I Like

That would be my set if Supper's Ready is disqualified.

Some personal favourites are 'Can Utility and the Coastliners', 'Cinema Show', 'The Fountain of Salmacis', 'In the Cage', 'Firth of Fifth'.

If your listeners are mainly into later Genesis, they will probably love Carpet Crawlers.


I dig this answer - I think he's spot on.
Welcome to the middle of the film.

I play in a Genesis tribute band, and up to this point we've been focusing on the post-Gabriel music.  We're going to delve into the older stuff soon, and I wanted some opinions on what would be the most essential songs, say the top 5, that we should play?  I think Supper's Ready is going to be out due to the complexity and length of the song.
