Pun 100% intended.

Genesis - The Knife.
I actually thought this was going to be about the Strawbs album, Deep Cuts.

ELP way ahead of the weakest track on Trespass - plus the fact Genesis wrote the track as a tribute to 'The Nice' - geddit?

Weakest track on Trespass? Wow! That's a fairly unique opinion.

I concur with Flight123. The rest of the album maintains a singular and ethereal, if somewhat unremarkable, atmosphere, which the Knife utterly betrays. Genesis' later discography rendered The Knife basically pointless (The Return of the Giant Hogweed is a significantly improved version of the same basic ideas).
So this is one of the few times I'll vote ELP over Genesis.

As a single, I think The Knife shines! I'd usually skip over it in the album, and listen to it by itself later. I can't get enough of the screams (about mid-way through the song), and the short part afterward.

I really like both of these tracks, but I voted for ELP since Knife-Edge gets the distinction of being one of the few ELP songs that I actually enjoy a lot.

ELP!!!!
The Genesis track is nice...more of curiousity freakshow piece... showing they had some semblance of testicles in that group.. but when it comes to hard and heavy prog... pfff.. ELP smoke them. One of Greg Lake's vocal masterpieces btw...

I do enjoy The Knife very much (voted for it), specially the live version, while I really can't stand Return of the Giant Hogweed, which shows exactly the kind of things I really dislike from Genesis (along with Get 'em out by Fryday, Harold the Barrel, Battle of Epping Forest).
