Me & Sarah Jane
Like It Or Not
Who Dunnit?
For me, Abacab is the most important album of the band. Not their best, but very important indeed (check my review here)
I also love Another Record, it's a stand alone track, very unique in their history.

Notes: Shock The Monkey was a single from Peter Gabriel's fourth album. A video was also produced. The song deals with jealousy and was a live favorite on many tours. During the Back To Front Tour, an unplugged version was performed .... -
I think they were once part of the NIGHT OFTHE PROG festival here in Germany. But I can't remember whether or not I saw them there. Will check, sounds interesting

For this poll, it was correct to separate the parts as two tracks (as it is on the album actually), but I agree that this makes little sense when you see the whole picture. On The Way We Walk and Live Over Europe it's also only one track.

Never noticed that! But I'm sure Jonathan Dann can reveal the secret maybe?

12 Points from me. At the time it was a standout track for me, it was also the first Genesis album that I experienced being released (remember the excitement). I was 15 back then ...
Today, it's still a strong track, but even on We Can't Dance we have 2 or 3 better tracks.

GENESIS - No Son Of Mine
Year: 1991
Album: We Can't Dance
Working title: Elephantus
Credits: Banks, Collins, Rutherford
Lyrics: Yes
Length: 06:36
Musicians: Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford
Played Live: 1992, 1997, 1998, 2007
Cover versions: none (?)
Notes: This track was the first single from We Can't Dance back in 1991 and it became a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. The track also marked probably their most successful period and was one of the reasons why We Can't Dance became that successful. And it's not a simple pop track, more a track with a typical epic Genesis atmosphere .... -
Just A Job To Do, Silver Rainbow and Mama
Home By The Sea and Second Home By The Sea are two tracks on that record, and they would be #5 and #4 in my personal favorites list.

I never was a big THE WHO fan, but I was really surprised when I heard their new album - and i bought it. It's really a great collection of rock tracks. And I was thinking - whatever kept Genesis from doing such a last album .... probably they fear to produce something substandard.
THE WHO have proved the opposite.

Brazilian, Tonight Tonight Tonight and Land Of Confusion for me. Domino would be #4
Land Of Confusion is a great track and probably also a key track for the band. It brought in a lot of new listeners, who would eventually discover older albums... and that does the trick
