The two Genesis songs that Mike Rutherford considers the best in the band's history

After decades of writing and recording with Genesis, Mike Rutherford has a deep understanding of the group's catalog. When asked about his favorite songs by the band, he pointed out two works that he considers special. The choices were "Firth of Fifth" and "The Carpet Crawlers". "Firth of Fifth", released in 1973 on the album "Selling England by the Pound", is often remembered for its elaborate instrumental arrangement and the famous guitar solo performed by Steve Hackett. "The Carpet Crawlers", present on the 1974 concept album "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", occupies a special place for its unique atmosphere and the emotional strength of the composition. According to Rutherford, both represent moments in which Genesis managed to strike a perfect balance between artistic ambition, emotion and musical quality. The two songs remain among the most admired by fans and help to illustrate the creative richness of the band's classic phase.
