I have Ripples of desire to Dance on a Volcano with a Squonk under a Mad Man Moon, whilst narrowly avoiding becoming Entangled in a Robbery, Assault and Battery by A Trick of the Tail. Los Endos. Smile

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Entangled 10/10
Dance on a volcano 9/10
Los Endos 9.5/10
Ripples 9/10
A Trick of the Tail 8.75/10
Mad Man Moon 8.75/10
Squonk 8.5/10
Robbery Assault and Battery 7/10

Though "Squonk" was THE song that sucked me into the Genesis world, and "Ripples" was my favorite for a few years, I have come to appreciate the genius of all of the songs. "Dance on a Volcano" and, of course, "Los Endos" were concert highlights, but the haunting ethereal quality of "Entangled" is sheer prog perfection. And I have always LOVED the tight, bouncy story-form of the title song--very visual--despite its "pop" and "cheese." Ever the thespian, Phil could always ham up a good story. (Unfortunately, "Robbery" is just not a good story--which is sad since some of Tony's finest keyboard work ever is on it.)

Taking a look at the old scoreboard, it looks like a win for Dance on a Volcano at the moment with Entangled running a close second, although my personal favourite is Ripples. Thumbs Up
