I'd probably go for The Underfall Yard, or one of the English Electric ones, but Ant would know better.

Do you like Mew and IQ?

I've never heard Mew. I tried multiple times to get into IQ but just kept getting bored all the time. I haven't given up.

Trollheart's Genesis Top Ten
Number Two

"Watcher of the Skies" - Foxtrot (1972)

Trollheart's Genesis Bottom Ten
Number Three

"Ballad of Big" - ... And Then There Were Three (1978)
God how I despise this song!

and
Number Two

"Illegal Alien" - Genesis (1983)
Say no more...

Mew and IQ are both pretty good.

The best Big Big Train album is a tie between The Underfall Yard and the English Electric: Full Power compilation. They've done some new albums since these two, but they are both fabulous albums that sound like a modernized take on the Genesis sound going up to And Then There Were Three...

And there's an argument to be made that BBT are actually the only real successor we have to Genesis today anyway, because lead vocalist David Longdon was the guy who auditioned against Ray Wilson back in the mid 90's for the frontman spot after Collins jumped ship. David didn't get picked obviously, but he ended up fronting BBT a little over a decade later instead. How's that for karma?

So I was right, then. :thumb: I would add GTTAOS though.

I'll leave you in suspense as to my all-time top and bottom tracks. Till the morrow!

BIG TIME FAIL. Epping Forest is one of the greatest Gabriel era songs.

I meant the song but put your money where your mouth is and do a top ten. I think that song is daft.
