As the opener "Watcher of the skies", as "The musical box" as their best is better in the end.

Dancing with the Moonlit Knight for me. Incredible song.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Those are all great songs, and they'd make a great compilation album too!

It's hard to vote for any particular song, since on any given day, one might stand out more than the rest.  That's the great thing about prog. music; different songs will be more interesting or enjoyable depending on time of day, weather, personal mood, location, etc.

I liked The Musical Box the most of those.  Dancing With the Moonlit Knight and Watcher of the Skies are also great, however.

Man, all are friggin good (lamb lies down to a lesser extent and
I haven't got Trespass yet). I might vote for Eleventh Earl of Mar
for a change, because of its energy, I always get really into it
when I listen to W&W. The rest of the album after One for the
Vine smehow always falls short for me. But then again Musical
Box is one of my favorite Genesis songs, so is Watcher...I guess
I'll vote for Dance on a Volcano.

I love the "dancers" openers (for "Selling..." and "Trick..."), then...

Ok, Dance on a Volcano is more direct... my vote go to it !!!

Dancing with the Moonlit knight.

I always dreamed of a genesis reunion that started without lights, the curtains closed and a voice floating in the air singing "Can you tell me where my country lies....."

But probably will never happen

When I saw the question, the first thing that came up in my mind without even looking at the alternatives was: "Can you tell me where my country lies?"

You cannot beat that opening...so ofcourse I voted for Dancing with the moonlit Knight.

Dancing With the Moonlit Knight. This intro still gives me chills, and because it was one of the few songs that got me into prog I can still remember when I hated it! It took me a while to 'get' early genesis but wow it was worth it

Can you say, CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE MY COUNTRY LIES?

I like the Musical Box much better, but I would pick Dancing With the Moonlit Knight.

I think Eleventh Earl is really underrated. People don't talk much about it and I can't understand why. It's one of the best performances of Collins career and has that great Hackettesque instrumental interlude in the middle. I never get tired of listening to it. It's a great opener! I think its the best (Dance on a Volcano would be my second choice).

Someone should start a thread for best Genesis closer. I'd vote for It on that one.
