Good,bad,andrush Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) What is the best song from Selling England by the Pound? I want to know because I want to see what my opinion is next to you guys. The Cinema Show is magical to me, and Firth of Fifth is right behind, followed extremely closely by Dancing with the Moonlit Knight. Those three are platinumx2112, and the rest is solid gold. I might add that the inspiration came for this poll because I've been listening to this album like crazy lately.

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 A wonderful album. The melody of the opening track coupled with those wonderful, evocative lyrics almost swung it, but I plumped for Firth of Fifth in the end. Mr. Banks finest creation.

GrandDesigner Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Probably Epping Forest. Only by the tiniest fraction though. Flawless album otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oracle Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 This one is hard for me. I'm going to say 'The Cinema Show' because that song has one of the best Gabriel-era instrumentals ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 It's pretty ridiculous how many truly outstanding songs are on this album, but I gotta go with Dancing with the Moonlit Knight - one of my fave songs of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just f***ing godly songs: Hemispheres Permanent Waves Moving Pictures Pawn Hearts Close To The Edge Relayer The Yes Album Foxtrot And quite a few more...but albums like these are just insane...I sometimes wonder if I am really hearing such perfection.

You actually are not. You're hallucinating badly, and 99% of what you perceive exists solely within your mind. We are merely a figment of your very overactive imagination.

Hey my Irish brother from another mother!! I totally agree with you! Nothing touches this Banks masterpiece. "Cinema Show" would be second but "Fifth" is untouchable. Hope all is well.

skalamander2112 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 i think im gonna have to go with my buddy goobs on this one and say Dancing With the Moonlit Knight. its a hard pick though because the album is perfect.

micgtr71 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 fantastic album. Side one by a hair over side 2. Song....Firth? Dancing...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostworks Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Phil and Mike were never in better form than on Epping they absolutely SHRED that groove- it's busy, funky and addictive as hell my favorite from SEBTP changes every now and then, but Epping gets the vote for the rhythm section alone tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjtull Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Not a bad song on this album. I voted for Epping Forest. It's an epic!! Edited April 25, 2011 by tjtull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Krinkle Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 The Battle of Epping Forest GREAT Rickenbacker bass tone. And a good song too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Slipperman Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) Wha? You tryin' to make my head explode? They don't call me Mystic Slipperman for nothing... Moonlit Knight and Firth are waaay up there, but Cinema Show gets my vote. The acoustic work on this during the first half, and the amazing instrumental section in the second half push it over the edge.
