Title: The Introduction to Genesis 1970-1977

I usually don't like compiliations, but this looks like fun...

• Dancing With the Moonlight Knight.....8.01
• Entangled.....6.26
• White Mountain.....6.42
• The Musical Box.....10.42
• Can-Utility and the Coastliners.....5.43
• The Carpet Crawlers.....5.15
• Burning Rope.....7.09
• One for the Vine.....10.00
• Mad Man Moon.....7.34
• The Cinema Show/Aisle of Plenty.....12.34

Hidden Track - , Los Endos...hehe, the time doesn't count coz it's a hidden track.  Afterall, what would a Genesis compilation be without Los Endos closing it out.  Total Time:  78.46

Darn, I went over 75 minutes...and still so many were left out.  (not necessarily my favorites, but a good representation of the band with soft, dark, and upbeat numbers)

OK, after some good atempts to make a song list, this is the summary/ the most chosen songs:

• The Knife
• The Musical Box
• Supper's Ready
• Dancing with the Moonlit knight
• Firth of Fifth
• In the Cage

Al together that is about 68 minutes. So there is room for one song more.
Perhaps it is a good idea that song to be Follow You Follow Me.
That increases the chance actually selling the album.

• The Conqueror (3:40)
• Stagnation  (8:48)
• The Musical Box  (10:24)
• Supper's ready  (22:52)
• Dancing with the moonlit knight  (8:01)
• After the ordeal  (4:12)
• In the cage  (8:15)
• Dance on a volcano  (5:53)

               72 minutes, 6 seconds

EEEENNGGG! O dear, there goes the buzzer.

Sorry, Trotsky, you have overrun the 75 minutes. Without Anyway and The Lady Lies (I couldn't find so fast their lenght) you are exactly at 75 minutes, so with them ....

Hmmm, this is more difficult then I sought.

I would prefer to have a song form every album, but that is not possible if you include Suppers Ready. So no And Then There were Three. That album fits better in the best of the 80s.
No Wind and Wuthering as well....

The Knife
Firth of Fifth
The Musical Box
Squonk
Harold the Barrel
Suppers Ready
Carpet Crawl

77.29 minutes. I'm sure it could be squeezed onto one CD..
