Carpet Crawlers was a bathroom trip...
 
Selling England, Genesis Live and Foxtrot did it...
 
As far as the Moodies?  I never got past "Tuesday Afternoon"...  After that it all sounds the same...  Sorry...

Hessel,
I would agree with Mark although IMO a close 2nd to ISOTLC would be On
The Threshold of A Dream.
Genesis-mine would be Foxtrot.
Pete
p.s.Carpert Crawlers does nothing for me either
