I could never say wich song is best or favourite.

I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat...

Supper's ready, and especially the live version on Second's out! Simply amazing, one of the few good things Collins ever did in his life!

Firth of Fifth, the only song I drool both when listening to it and when trying to pronounce its title

That is difficult... From the list I picked The Musical Box, but I think my actual favourite of all time might be The Lamia. (Really it's the whole of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, but I guess that doesn't count, at least not outside of brackets...)

Sorry to be a pedant but the front runner in the poll is not of the gabriel hackett era.

Firth of fifth is definitely the best thing Genesis have done.

And maybe the best prog song ever!

I voted for Musical Box, although I also really like 'In The Cage', especially the live version on 'Three Sides Live'. It just shows a band in transition, when they shove 'Misunderstanding' on the same album!!

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I love pretty much anything the band did until around 'Duke', but I chose 'Fountain Of Salmacis' due to some of the best mellotron and guitar work ever recorded.

1) Firth Of Fifth

2) Cinema Show

3) After The Ordeal

So you can easily guess what my favorite Genesis album is...

I voted for The Musical Box... Twice!

Well I had to; for any song to beat it in any poll is a travesty and makes me want to poison the Earth's water supply!!! (O.K. fine Supper's Ready I can understand)
