Not a duffer moment in the Gabriel-era cataloge - I had Tresspass on recently for the first time in yonks and, man, that LP gets better with age.  All high points, no particular favorite but if I had to choose:  The Battle of Epping Forest.  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

IMHO, "The Lamia" has every single band member firing on all cylinders for seven solid minutes. A flawless song.

Firth of Fifth


At one point I would have maybe said Cinema Show but I think FoF does it for me now as number two.

My favorite song by Genesis regardless of excluding suppers ready is definitely dancing with the moonlit knight, it is very good.

From Tresspass: The Knife (White Mountains next)
From Cryme: Musical Box (Seven Stones next)
From Foxtrot: Can Utility (Supper next)
Selling England: Moonlight Knight (Epping Forest next)
From Lamb: Windshield (Waiting Room and Grand Parade next)

Also Twilight Alehouse.


Alehouse & Utility show +/- everything Genesis could do condensed in just above 6 minutes.

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

Cinema Show > Firth Of Fifth > The Musical Box

All 3 are classics, but Cinema Show shaves it for the keys solo😎

I really love Trespass. It has such a classic feel and Peter sings so well on that album. It is a terrific performance from him, but of course The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is his magnum opus and parting shot. That album can’t be beat. Has a ton of depth.
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

I guess I'll go with Cinema Show. There's much to pick from. Shout outs for Harold the Barrel and The Waiting Room. There's a restless pipe of sticky stuff that keeps the boxes together.

If we're strictly talking Gabriel era, I'll say Supper's Ready. But Mad Man Moon is my favorite Genesis song overall Smile
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

Probably Dancing With The Moonlit Knight. Has all the right beats in a Genesis song for me

Exactly.
