"Many Too Many" is a song performed by Genesis and released as a single from the album ...And Then There Were Three... in 1978. The single reached No. 43 on the UK Chart.[1] Its B-side had two non-album songs, "Vancouver" and "The Day the Light Went Out", both released on compact disc on the Genesis Archive 2: 1976–1992 box set. A music video was filmed for the song.
The song includes the last use of a Mellotron on any Genesis studio recording, though Tony Banks did use one sparingly on his 1979 solo album A Curious Feeling.
