    What song or album is the most underrated?

    I think some songs from "And then there were three" is underrated like "The ladie lies", "Burning Rope", "Down and out". I think W&W is a very good album and I think the album did'nt get the credit that it should get...

    What do you think??

    I think you' re right! "Down & Out" (a song that I LOVE since its release in 1978!) is underrated, as other tracks like " Dusk" ' from TRESPASS),"Lilywhite Lilith" ' THE LAMB)" Cul-de-sac" ( DUKE), and for WIND & WUTHERING :
    All in a mouse's night
    Eleventh Earl of Mar

    the battle of the epping forest is the most underrated song ever imo.

    "Listen carefully to me old devil! I'm Only interested in two things... see if you can guess what they are..."

    The most underrrated album is Wind & Wuthering imo.

    people don't give any attention to that. it's a true masterpiece and third best after selling england and trick of the tail.

  • Can-Utility and The Coastliners

    Unbelievable underrated. Gabriel is singing complete in the background and speaking words and so on. You can only recognize that, when you listen to special pieces in loops... The sound is really great and I love the guitar pattern...

    Wind and Wuthering

    Wind and Wuthering needs more attention. I can see why it isn't more commercially successful but I feel it doesn't get the credit it deserves from those of us who are true Genesis fans.

  • Frankly, I hate Wind and Wuthering. :)

    "Can-Utility and The Coastliners" is very underrated, the song is a masterpiece. The album "Trespass" is the most underrated album in my view.

    not sure about an album, but 'looking for someone' from 'trespass' as an amazing song. and it's virtually nowhere on the charts.

    At least here in the United States, of all the pre "Duke" tracks that get the most air-play since the mid 80's on FM radio is "Eleventh Earl Of Mar"! I've heard that song a zillion times on the radio and believe or not as musak in grocery stores!

    I believe it was one of their biggest sellers in the United States. W&W is great! It has a lot of Steve Hackett's influence (and Tony's too). In my opinion it has a "dark cloudy day sound", if that sounds right.

  • "Eleventh Earl Of Mar" and "One For the Vine" remind me a lot of "Firth of Fifth". In fact the whole album reminds me of "Selling England by the Pound". I believe on W&W there was alot of strife in composing the tracks for the album. Could it be W&W was the straw that broke the camel's back as far as Steve is concerned? Actually the seeds where sown there, but it was during the mixing of "Seconds Out" that really done the deed. Of course this is my opinion, gathered from reading and comments from Steve on 'offfical' videos.

    "Wind and Wuthring was the last great album of Genesis' career, IMHO. ;-)

    Best Songs.

    It's really hard...

    1 Can-utility and the coastliners
    2 The Musical Box
    3 Firth of Fifth
    4 Fly On A Windshield
    [...]
    "

    Can-utility and the coastliners is a jewel, and Fly On A Windshield is a really dramatic poetry song!

    I like W&W!!!

  • Back in the 1970's when I took a friend to audition some loudspeakers at a few 'audio boutiques', I brought along some Genesis, ELP, etc. to use for the audition. "Can-Utility and the Coastliners" was one of first tracks we used! It really showed whether or not the speaker(s) were up to snuff.

    Wind and Wuthering is VERY underrated, especially one of the most beautiful songs by Genesis, namely "blood On The Rooftops"

  • Album - Wind and Wuthering
    Song - Duchess

  • "Mad Man Moon" is very underrated, in my opinion.

    i think that the very first albums: from genesis to revelation and trespass...

    Even the first album is hated by Genesis, hehe. But i think it is a good album.

  • According to me, the most uderrated songs are : Lilywhite Lilith, More Fool Meand Stagnation and the most underrated album is A Trick Of The Tail
