FOXTROT

This is one of the greatest albums of all time. I have never tired of it. "Watcher Of The Skies" is simply amazing! "Get Em Out By Friday"...fantastic! "Supper's Ready"...there are not enough words to describe how amazing this song is. From start to finish...and that's a long time...22+ minutes!...it is a mind blower. This song in particular to me represents the greatness of Genesis and why I have never lumped them in with the boring stuffy bands like ELP or the meandering nonsense of post "Fragile" Yes. Genesis were a band based on songs...not musical prowess and technical crap. "Supper's Ready" may be a 22 minute tour de force of "prog rock", but look again...it's a bunch of amazing 3 minutes songs woven together in a totally original and captivating fashion. Truly brilliant from start to finish. It captures it's era and trancends it at the same time...what more can you ask for in a recording. On top of all that, Gabriel, at this time, was one of the most brilliant front men in rock & roll. If they never made another record, this one would assure their place in music history.
