Feels kind of strange, but I am going for "Guide Vocal". It may not last long, but it is still one of the most beautiful melodies Tony Banks has ever composed, and it also reappears towards the end.

Misunderstanding (sorry, snobs!)

"Duchess" or "Heathaze" or "Turn it On Again". Like The Lamb tho, this one definitely hangs together and makes it hard to pick out individual tracks. When I was 14, "Heathaze" wd have been my unreflecting immediate answer. Now I'm thinking it's almost too much like autopilot Banks balladry, but the synth flute (?) motif is great and then oh my god that chorus. So I will still tip it a vote altho maybe I feel "Turn It On Again" more nowadays, and "Duchess" is just this driven, melodramatic power ballad that should've been number 1.
