I love that You Might Recall is getting so much love. I think it’s a great track that should have made an album.
GENESIS: Your favorite B-Sides / Non-Album tracks

you might recall (one of my favourite Genesis tracks)
Inside And Out (should have been an album track)
Paperlate ( a timeless sing along pop song)
Happy The Man
Evidence Of Autumn
On The Shoreline
Perfect choices. I think the ones you listed are the cream of the crop among their non album tracks. As one of the guys in the band said, it’s an embarrassment of riches; many of their b sides and such are better than most bands’ best tracks.

You Might Recall and Evidence of Autumn are my top two for sure. Beyond that I chose On The Shoreline, It's Yourself, Feeding The Fire, and Twilight Alehouse.
The rest of that list has an incredible number of really good songs, it's incredible they didn't make the cut. I think that's proof just how "in the now" the band operated. I know some unused bits came back for later albums, but even when they were cranking out an album a year it's amazing they had enough great new material they rarely drew from that backlog to pad out the next album.

Twilight Alehouse
I'd Rather Be You
Do The Neurotic
Evidence Of Autumn
Feeding The Fire

tough choices ...
You might recall is obvious, so is On the shoreline
Do the neurotic should have been on the album
Anything now as well.
then Inside and out and It's yourself

I totally agree re: Do the Neurotic. If they had to choose one instrumental to put on IT in my opinion DTN is vastly superior to The Brazilian.
-
I’d have voted for “Hidden in the World of Dawn” & “The Magic of Time” if they’d been on the list.

😧 Whatttt! Lol. No way; the Brazilian belongs as the instrumental. Mike’s guitar part at the end is sick. Do the Neurotic rocks, but better than the Brazilian..nah.
-
Another Do The Neurotic fan here! For some reason, this one doesn't concern me as much as say Inside And Out. Might be because I always seem to turn off IT after Domino. Never liked Throwing It All Away either...

Don't know about sick but the guitar adds nice colour. I agree TB is way better, I find it much more distinctive and interesting. DTN is OK but for me doesn't live up to the opening with the percussion loop and guitar riff, and the way the dipping bass line comes in under. Once it gets going it's a bit generic, though with a nice energy. The edit is much better as the removed section is a bit naff. Probably the right decision to leave it off but I think the album would've stood having both instrumentals on.

Shepherd
It's Yourself
Evidence of Autumn
You Might Recall
Do the Neurotic
Anything Now
But could happily have voted for many others. Some of my favourite G tracks are in this list. Evidence of Autumn and You Might Recall are favourite *songs* of mine, by any artist

Good analysis. Do you think they will play TB on this upcoming tour?

I find DTN to be more creative than TB. I love the longer version, and the end is classic “It sounds the way joy feels,” similar to that really uplifting section near the end of Cinema Show that always gets a roar from the crowd. As they say, different strokes for different folks

My instinct is no they won't but I also think it'll be a tour in which some of the usual Genesis live rules won't apply so you never know.
When they announced the tour on BBC radio a listener suggested they include TB in the set. Banks seemed quite up for it while Rutherford groaned and said "oh god" as I recall.

It is funny as I seem to remember one of the documentaries where they are talking about The Brazilian, and Tony says in the direction of Mike, something along the lines of "you didn't do very much on that one, it was mostly me and Phil" to which Mike replied "well, there wasn't any space left, was there?!"
Maybe The Brazilian is to Mike what Deep in the Motherlode is to Tony!
As an aside: I agree, TB > DTN. I love them both, but TB is much more distinctive.

Tony doesn’t like Motherlode! :o

One of the least disputable facts in Genesis lore!

You might recall and Evidence of autumn are my favorites. I also like Feeding the fire and On the shoreline from the later period.
#5 and 6 were tougher. I went for Let is now make love and then Anything now from the CAS sessions
-
so little love for Pigeons. That one with the happy banjo sound and lyrics about pigeons crapping on things makes me Smile every time.
