What song or album is the most underrated?

I think that an underrrated song is: Can-Utility and the Coastliners from foxtrot . About the album, I thins Wind & Wuthering n' Trespass are 2 underrated albums

...In That Quiet Earth

It's not a song. So what?

And by the way, Duchess is from Duke, not Wind & Wuthering.

Hmm undertated can go alot of directions underated by everyday listeners, underated by true genesis fans, lacking critical acclaim, or commercial success. anyway I would have to go with mad man moon also; still an epic Genesis song I always felt it was more accesible and user friendly. Duchess is a good call also.

The entire From Genesis to Revelation. There's lot of great stuff there.

Agreed on "White Mountain". I love this song.

I agree with Pepganzo. Trespass, as for me, is complete album (maybe too big words, but it's really good). I like every song from this album - it says everything - most underrated. And if i must pick one song, i think that would be Afterglow from W&W. I don't know your opinion about this song, but as i can see, you didn't mention Afterglow. Maybe it's not underrated, but when most of people find albums from Gabriel's era as the best in history of Genesis, that means i could find Afterglow as one of the most underrated songs.

Calling All Stations by far the most underrated. It was the return of the true Genesis sound. Banks and Rutherford song writing was superb and so was Ray Wilson's singing.

I agree with opinions that Trespass is underrated. In songs I can mention Seven Stones, my favourite track from Nursery Cryme and After the Ordeal, an instrumental masterpiece.

Their self entitled genesis album(circa 1983) was their best cumulitive work in my opinion. A pinnacle and peak for the band - hardly ever mentioned and supremely underated.

Tresspass y very underrated and is their best album

And Stagnation is the best song of the album, and the most of the people just remember The Knife

How can someone really tell how a song is rated? Rated by who?

Well, the scrobblinglist of last fm can tell something perhaps.

I think that maybe a song is underrated by the artists themselves if they never play it live. Or is that beacuse it is hard to play? Like the lovely intro of firth of Fifth; why do they always skip it when playing the song live?

Anyhow, a song that must be underrated by the society as whole is Can-utility and the Coastliners, an absolutely fantastic composition.
It truly captures the concept of progressive rock.
Fantastic melody, constant shifts in melody themes, progressing construction instead of verse-chorus-verse-construction, advanceness and absolute sophistication, intellectuality and yet feeling.
I'm glad to find so many here have mentioned it as underrated; it really is.
If You really like progressive rock, if You really like the Gabriel Years of Genesis, or brodened, the 70's production of Genesis, and haven't noticed this song, You should go listen to it carefully. Mindfulness demanded!

I find that listeners of progressive rock often are jazz listeners also. Maybe because the genres are both often advanced, demands intellectuality and active listening.
A fantastic jazzpiece that have a similarly progressive construction, and that really rewards the listener (after 5-10 listenings, of course) is "Ogden Road" by Ralph Towner, found on his album "Diary" (the album that broke my prejudice against jazz when I was 15 years old).

You who love Can-Utility like me, listen to "Ogden Road".

Fading Lights (We Can't Dance), imo, the most progressive track from the Genesis after-1980.

I don't know about the album but song "The Lamia" seems to be unknown
