Firth of Fifth. I must be the only person who thinks it's a good song, but nothing more.

Both are amazing, my favorite two songs from this album.  I prefer "Firth of Fifth" just a bit more because of the awesome piano intro.

Pretty much this. Plus the awesome guitar solo.
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

My ranking used to be reversed, since the first Genesis album I owned was Seconds Out, which has live versions of both songs.  The piano intro to "Firth of Fifth" was only played live a few times and is not present here.  Meanwhile, "The Cinema Show" has that awesome instrumental with Collins and Bruford on drums, and it builds up to a big climax.  Pretty mind-blowing stuff right there.

Then I picked up Selling England by the Pound and discovered that "Firth" has that piano intro, plus the first E minor solo is played on the flute.  Meanwhile, "The Cinema Show" doesn't build at the end, but rather fizzles down into a segue back to the album opener, which is well done but disappointing in general after knowing the live version first.
