Mine has to be Firth Of Fifth.
That piano intro is perfect.
One the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
So as stated, what is your favorite song of theirs?

If there is one single track that encapsulates much of their style, packing chiming 12 string guitars, lyrical flutey bits, Mellotron and Hammond 'orchestral' bits, Moog bass pedals, a quirky Hackett solo and an equally quirky Rutherford and Rickenbacker bassline all into a few minutes it's got to be 'Can-Utility and the Coastliners' |

But Robbery, Assault, and Battery is pretty awesome as well.

I am just the opposite of many Genesis fans in that I really disliked Peter Gabriel's shtick when he was with them. IMO he was not entertaining he looked like an escapee from a mental institution. I happen to LOVE his solo work so don't be hating me for having an opinion. I became a fan after hearing "Second's Out".

They're far too sugary for my taste after his departure and can easily wander into the twee - especially with the lyrics. Phil Collins was/is an amazing drummer at his best, but I think he should've stayed behind the kit. |

I really liked them up to ABACAB, after that not so much so I think we, at least, partially agree. I didn't care for their more pop oriented sound. Collins and Bruford together blew my mind.

I also like "Follow You, Follow Me."
