Entangled and Chamber Of 32 Doors are among my absolute favourite Genesis tracks...just goes to show how differently we hear music

Nice one - I can't argue too much with your choices, the only one that doesn't fit for me is Entangled, which is wonderful and at least B and probably an A.

That's not from 1970-1977 though. Anyway, that's the kind of song that you have to do a funny little dance to in order to make it fun. It wasn't intended to be a serious song anyway(kind of like "I think I'm going bald" by Rush).

Yes, the time frame is key here..... I had a quick review and reckon about 70% of what followed would fit into F! However, even I'd admit some tracks would still get into A and B - despite my distaste for Genesis-Lite.

I agree with a lot of this, but damn, why'd you have to put Entangled so low...And Epping Forest so high...
Switch those two around and it would be a more harmonious rating of Genesis songs.

Afterglow is a masterpiece, Blood on the Rooftops is merely good, Entangled is average, The Waiting Room is bad? I disagree with all of these. And others.

The thing that people are most mad about in the ranking  is putting the Chamber of 32 doors in D tier . I put it so low because In my opinion that the lowest part of the lamb if you listen to it the whole way through. I think this because my favorite thing about the lamb is it verity of sound and styles. If you like prog epics them the Colony of Slipperman, In the Cave and the Lamia and  and if like harder songs you have It, Fly on Wind Shield, the ending of the waiting room and Anyway. So when I get to the Chamber I'm a bit tried of the Pop songs so that why I don't enjoy the chamber. It not that the song is bad is that It just got placed at the wrong place of the album. I would put it in C trier if I could remake the list
