In many polls Pink Floyd go over Genesis to me, but Firth Of Fifth is just so much greater than Comfortably.

Easy one: Genesis for the win.

Incredibly tough choice. Comfortably Numb is one of the best Floyd songs, but I went with Firth of Fifth by a hair.

I want to vote neither because those two songs are so good you end up not wanting to listen to anything else.

Both great but Firth is definitely much more prog. Numb is a more traditional rock song.

Both are great. However, CN is way overplayed where as FoF is way underplayed so I went with Firth(which I actually like better anyway).

I mean, for me any Pink Floyd song vs any Genesis song = automatic vote for Genesis. So being that it's Firth Of Fifth here just makes it that much more of a slam dunk vote.

Comfortably Numb... the version with Bowie is so good!
One of my favorites... ever!
Well, I love Firth of Fifth, too, but, y'know...

Firth definitely. Comfortably Numb is one of the those put me to sleep PF songs.

After all these years I still love Comfortably Numb, and it remains one of my favourite lead guitar songs, but I have to vote for Firth of Fifth. Both the original and the Seconds Out version still send shivers through me. Perfect Genesis. Perfect prog.

Firth by a long mile.....The Floyd classic is great I just feel a tad overplayed, does not detract from how great the song is but the Genesis classic IMO better

Shows how different we all are - I love Gilmou's vocals on the chorus:

Think it is a powerful song --especially if you have had a close friend who was a drug addict---but overall still voted for Firth because that solo has consistently moved me over the years.

For me it's not about liking or not. It is about comparing or not.
