Rank The Tracks: The Lamb lies down on Broadway

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   These "Rank The Tracks" lists that keep popping up from days of yore are a lot fun, but let's now be gluttons for punishment and really challenge ourselves with the 23 tracks from Genesis's double album masterpiece!
(Helpful hint for those who are struggling: start by ranking the songs from each individual album side, and go from there!)

1. In the Cage
2. The Carpet Crawlers (or, "Carpet Crawl" if you prefer)
3. The Colony of Slippermen
4. Riding the Scree
5. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
6. Broadway Melody of 1974
7. The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
8. Back in NYC
9. The Light Dies Down on Broadway
10. Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats
11. The Chamber of 32 Doors
12. Fly on a Windshield
13. Lilywhite Lilith
14. Anyway
15. Here Comes the Supernatural Anaesthetist
16. IT
17. Cuckoo Cocoon
18. Hairless Heart
19. Counting Out Time
20. In the Rapids
21. The Lamia
22. Ravine
23. The Waiting Room

Have fun!

	No order inside the stars (the numbers are from the poster above me) 1 The Carpet Crawlers 2 The Waiting Room 3 The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging 11 Fly on a Windshield 12 Broadway Melody of 1974 19 The Chamber of 32 Doors 15 Counting Out Time 8 The Lamia 22 The Colony of Slippermen 4 In the Cage No 5 The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway 9 Anyway 13 Lilywhite Lilith 14 Cuckoo Cocoon 7 Back in NYC 16 The Light Dies Down on Broadway 23 Here Comes the Supernatural Anaesthetist 18 Hairless Heart 10 Riding the Scree 17 In the Rapids 20 Ravine 21 IT the worst (by far) 6 Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats As you can tell, I'm definitely into the first disc and could do without most of the second disc. The Lamb might've gained being a single album (as ost concept double albums)
	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

	I remember an excerpt from a Tony Banks interview about TLLDOB published in 1974 before the Lamb official release. "our next album will be double and formed of a 23-section suite as Supper's ready has 7" Personally, I have always considered TLLDOB as a whole in four tableaux (the 4 sides whose lengths were limited only by the technology available back then) with of course a lot of key highlights. So no need for me to rank The lamb epic. Edited by mellotronwave - August 05 2023 at 06:01

	Not a lot of love for IT it seems (no pun intended, also this post marks 1000 points, which is cool) I quite love that track, top 5 off the album for me
