Firth Of Fifth. Not enough Hackett in The Cinema Show.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Firth of Fifth for sure. Cinema Show is an excellent piece of music, and the keyboard solo is quite amazing, with a nice flute section in it, but Firth of Fifth has a great piano intro, excellent flute playing (if only a little), a great keyboard solo, and the amazing guitar solo by Steve Hackett, so overall, a more complete song, with a better melody, and all the members of the band (the bass and the drums are quite amazing too) contribute big time to make it and out of this world listening experience.

I almost went with firth of fifth since if I were to do a list of my top Genesis songs it would probably be ahead of Cinema Show, however, ultimately they are more or less equal to me though.

The two truly sensational tracks on that album are Dancing with the Moonlit Knight and... Cinema Show. Firth of Fifth is still excellent though.

Both.
One for Hackett's guitar solo, the other for Tony Banks' keyboard solo. Amazing.

Another tough one... Probably my favourite Genesis album just edging out Foxtrot. I'll have to go with FoF. I love the piano intro and the overall vibe of the song.

Can't choose between them - first heard them when I was 13, I am 57 now. Still make me cry.

Couldn't be easier…  Cinema Show.Firth of Fifth a bit classical and plain to me... I like jazz (fusion) so on the other hand, I like Cinema's 'jazzy malice': syncopated drums and synth passages (also love the beautiful and more mellow first part : )) Edited by Machinemessiah - May 02 2020 at 12:33 |

The Cinema Show
Yeah, I tend to think of Aisle Of Plenty as part of The Cinema Show. Edited by I prophesy disaster - May 02 2020 at 12:23 |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
