    Hollow Horse To pretend to be happy could only be idiocy

    I've never liked Follow You, Follow Me and consider that it impairs And Then There Were Three somewhat. Personal choice obviously but, sometimes a band will have an Achilles Heel single - I feel the same about Golden Brown in the sense of - what were they thinking?!

    127 different songs have received votes

    5 additional songs have received votes since my last tally (Dusk, Feeding the Fire, Inside and Out, Open Door and Naminanu). All but ‘Dusk’ received their votes in a post specifically for “best b-sides.”

    Trespass has joined Foxtrot, Wind & Wuthering and Invisible Touch among albums on which every track has received at least one vote.

    Biggest gainer since the last tally was “Fountain of Salmacis” with 8 additional votes since the last tally.

    “Supper’s Ready” crossed 70 votes. :eek:
    This forum seems to love “The Cinema Show” and “Firth of Fifth” in roughly equal measures. They have been neck and neck in the voting since the beginning. :)

    Hmmmm....

    Supper's Ready
    Cinema Show
    The Lamia
    Can-Utility and the Coastliners
    Blood On the Rooftops

    Just five that came immediately to mind. There are probably about 30 that I would class as of almost equal quality.

    Points for grouping Duke concept as one song. How it should be.

    I have no problems whatsoever with that list. It's not identical to mine, of course, but it seems to show that SHF Genesis fans have good taste. :)

    Hmmmm......

    17 of the top 20 are pre-1980.

    It'd be nice if Mike and Tony would read this.......

    @Parachute Woman - I hope everything is good with you. I’ve been hearing about all of the damage Hurricane Florence (or is Tropical Storm Florence now?) has done and I hope nothing has happened to you or any of your family.

    I wonder how results would change if we could pick 10 songs or more.

    So many people's lists where I think "How did I forget this one?", "That song should be in my top 5", etc.

    A really serious attempt on my part to pick the top five would probably look a little different from what I supplied, but I'm not sure such a list would have much validity. the fact is, there are certain days and certain moods where I want a song like "Entangled", and other times when I need something like "Return of the Giant Hogweed".

    Thank you! Lots of heavy rain and wind plus a power outage yesterday, but we are doing okay! Florence has been crawling across the state but I hope she's gone soon! Those on the coast got the worst of it and my heart goes out to them.

    You’re welcome! Good to hear, you and your family are doing good. :righton: Yes, I do hope this storm passes soon. It’s done enough damage already.
