What is your favourite Genesis song?

Mine would have to be "That's All". I remember that being my favourite song for months. Probably the longest I ever had the same favourite song during the 80s.

"In too deep" would be a close second.

"Land Of Confusion" was my vote! This songs had a good message and the video was hilarious and thought provoking at the same time. Great song! :thumb:

For me beyond doubt it's 'In The Glow Of The Night/Domino' from the Invisible Touch album. Absolute Classic.

I also liked 'Turn It On Again' from 1980.

My vote went to In Too Deep. That Land of Confusion video, while hilarious, gave me nightmares! Darned freaky puppets. :D

Out of those I picked 'In Too Deep'. :) I never liked 'Land Of Confusion', for some reason. I loved 'I Can't Dance'. Just thought it was funny.

I voted for Mama, it was a really creepy song and always reminded me of Norman Bates from Psycho for some reason.

This was a tough choice between "Land Of Confusion" and "In Too Deep", but in this poll, I chose the former.

i love the later day genesis. a must have is "The Shorts", which has most of the options from the poll. anything live by them is awesome. but i'm especially partial to the string of albums 'duke', 'abacab', and 'genesis'.

i couldn't pick any one, so i selected OTHER, as it also could have been: turn it on again (live and studio); misunderstanding; abacab (3 sides live) ; me and sarah jane (FABULOUS); dodo; man on the corner; home by the sea; if it's gonna get better..... and on and on... SO MANY GOOD SONGS.

I voted for Mama..a wonderful, creepy, atmospheric track...

Other favs (from the 80's): Paperlate, Man on the Corner, Abacab, Tonight Tonight Tonight, In the Glow of the Night, Misunderstanding and Illegal Alien.

'Follow You, Follow Me' was 1978. It was their breakthrough into North America

Any one like the hit song they had in the 90s "Jesus he knows me". Very funny, I'm told the video is hilarious too, but I still haven't seen it yet.

not overly fond of it, but my genesis palate has been expanded enough that i can take it. i can't remember ever hearing this one on the radio here. and i think it stands out like a sore thumb on "The Shorts", but i don't skip over it.

'No Son of Mine' is the one 90's tune that i can embrace. i love the live version.

"That's all" got my vote, but I also really really love the drums in "Lonely man there on the corner."

Genesis was a great group.
