The Musical Box is a great introduction

I really like The Musical Box.  The song goes in very unique directions,  I was really suprised what it had to offer the first time I listened to it.

Watcher of the Skies has a good intro, but the Musical Box and Moonlit Knight are better songs.  My vote goes to Musical Box, one of Genesis's finest moments.

Gotta be Watcher of the Skies - fabulous mellotron and then the fade out and fade in with that tension in the drums and guitars as the volume swells.
In a word - Awesome

Musical Box, definetly. The ending where the organs come in and the line "You stand their with your fixed expression" are absolutely terrific.

I guess Duke isn't considered classic (I think it is better than "...and then there were three"), but "Between the Lines" would certainly qualify as a great opener, even though I voted for "Eleventh Earl of Mar".
