Then you're a pussy. It's easy. Surely you know the songs you don't like? Ah do what you like, but I know mine.

And here's another one:
Trollheart's Genesis Bottom Ten
Number Nine

"Congo" - Calling All Stations (1997)
So many I could have chosen off that album, but this one really sucks, especially coming after the title and between that and the excellent "Shipwrecked".

Eh, that piano improvisation is pure Banks bruh. And Ray has a great voice, though he doesn't resemble Collins all that much.

I didn't say Ray hadn't a good voice; I just said that listening to it on the radio I wouldn't recognise it as Genesis. I think I'd have understood the title track to be Genesis, even though I would have wondered who was doing the vocals, but not that. Piano improv whatever, the melody owes nothing to the Genesis I know.

It is. Pair it with "Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats" and you have one of the most beautiful Genesis compositions ever really.

The best Eno song by Genesis. You could loop that for an hour and it would be a top ambient recording for 2018.
