Good to see Motherlode getting some love
For a dreamy ten-year-old listening when it came out as I was, outstanding song for me, that bit between 3:36 and 3:42 just has to be turned up loud and then the finale bursts into life, if there's a song poll on here for ATTWT then Motherlode would be my first choice (and FYFM the very last - I have always thought it a bit of a fish out of water on the album).

So which is number 10, numbers 9 - 1 etc?
I'll do this but I hadn't considered them in any order per se.
1. Ripples (surely the best Genesis song ever?) ooh controversial
2. Deep In The Motherlode
3. Looking For Someone
4. Entangled
5. Undertow
6. Mad Man Moon
7, Land Of Confusion
8. Paperlate
9. Alone Tonight
10. Your Own Special Way
It's easy to see I'm still crazy after all these years about ATOTT and ATTWT and Merryman can consider 'imself lucky - I could easily have thrown Please Don't Ask into the ten!
-
And Paperlate??!!! As you said to each his own,
I'm steppin' in 'ere to defend meself - PAPERLATE is brilliant!! Bought it as a single originally (4-track EP was it?) and the song has that trumpet chorus (I love a bit o' brass, me) and also I think it's just a bit different and one of a few reasons why I love Paperlate!
-
But "Alone Tonight"? Really?
It's like a goddamn power ballad! That subtle dreamy vocal and then the drums smashing into the chorus... actually the chorus line would make the track fit on And Then There Were Three I feel - whatever, surely Alone Tonight must be one of the best songs on Duke? Really? Each to their own...
-
Afterglow's a pop song, too, though isn't it? It's definitely a love song, that's for sure.
Yes, I couldn;t disagree with that, just maybe YOSW is the finer of the two.

A Trick Of The Tail, And Then There Were Three and Duke. I was twelve when the latter came out and the songs are just perfect, not a duff track on it or on A Trick Of The Tail. With And Then There Are Three I have always thought that the inclusion of Follow You Follow Me impaired it somewhat, bit of a fish out of water maybe. Still, this and despite my username is most certainly my favourite Genesis period.
-
I think the song is a stand-out pop song on an otherwise non-pop album - like a nod to a decade later. I like it a lot and that's what I voted.

In a local Aldi recently a guy was quietly singing along to "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" - it reminded me of Man Of Our Times though, that "tonight, tonight" part, anyway it prompted me to compile thirty favourite songs, shove them onto a stick (as one does these days) and enjoy.
1. Looking For Someone
2. The Musical Box
3. Horizons
4. I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)
5. The Carpet Crawlers
6. Your Own Special Way
7. Entangled
8. Squonk
9, Ripples
10. Mad Man Moon
11. Down And Out
12. Undertow
13. Deep In The Motherlode
14. Many Too Many
15. Alone Tonight
16. Please Don't Ask
17. Turn It On Again
18. Paperlate
19. You Might Recall
20. Misunderstanding
21. Mama
22. That's All
23. Throwing It All Away
24. Land Of Confusion
25. In Too Deep
26. Invisible Touch
27. No Son Of Mine
28. Jesus He Knows Me
29. Hold On My Heart
30. Not About Us
Okay, so from those my top ten would be...
Alone Tonight, Paperlate, Ripples, Deep In The Motherlode, Looking For Someone, Mad Man Moon, Undertow, Your Own Special Way, Land Of Confusion and Entangled.
