Dancing With The Moonlit Knight is the strongest track overall for me, though I do love that majestic Watcher Of The Skies intro.

Hey Titan,
Some people at school are going to Prague on a music trip, so they are running a basic course for tourists; I want to learn Czech (but never really get round to it ) so I started going along. It's a nice language but, my god, us foreigners trying to make the 'ø' (hope that displays - it's r as in...err.. Jiri) sounds don't half make a mess of it!

Hi Everybody
If is there a band that made wonderful "Overtures Albuns Songs", this band was Genesis.
All of them are Spetaculars (as a fine overture has to be).
I could choose "Musical Box", Watcher of The Skies" or "Dancing with The Moonlit Knight" from the classic albuns. Even the Bombastic "Dance on a Volcano". But my choice is "Looking for Someone.
What is the Peter voice when the song begins ??? Something weird, dramatic and sweet at the same time. It will be a mark for all songs of PG era...
Best Greetings...

Foxtrot is my all time favorite album and I love every single track. I voted for Moonlit Knight by mistake though. Damn! I meant to vote for Musical Box because it is my second favorite track after Supper's Ready. |
Now that is a confusing post

I cast my vote to WOTS...I would give it a tie between this one and DWTMN...but I can't avoid my whole commitment with Foxtrot....my favorite album.

Watcher of the skies... my #1 Genesis song overall, which is saying something.

The answer is obvious, Dancing with the moonlit knight... also probably the best song to introduce to people who dont know Genesis yet. An opener needs to be more than a good song, it needs to be representative to the band's style too.
So my vote goes to Dancing, but Wathcer is just as good. The Musical Box is even better, but Wathcer and Musical Box aren't very good as openers in my opinion.

The only thud of Genesis entire career as far as album openers goes is "Invisible Touch", but that5's for another thread....

I've voted for Musical Box as best opener, as it has possibly the best ending of a song ever (if you see what I mean).

Its fitting for Dance on a Volcano to be the best opener in my opinion - it was the first Genesis track I heard
