More Fool Me

Though pop isn't my favourite type of music, I think songs like "More Fool Me" provide a nice balance "amidst the 10-minute epics," as Fearless said. There's nothing wrong with songs like "More Fool Me," just as long as they're done well by muscians who know what they're doing.

	I love this song. It is a short breather between epics on SEbtP. It offers a mood change from the previous song and is part of the concept of the album (this particular song representing deception). In the early days, the band wrote songs like this to serve as breaks in their records (which I think makes the albums more diverse and therefor more progressive.....it's always nice to have a short love song amidst 10-minute "epics"). Between songs, Peter usually had to change costumes at the live shows, so Phil and the others would handle vocals on one of these short songs while Peter changed (More Fool Me, For Absent Friends, Harlequin). So there is actually a legitimate purpose to these songs. I think that it is snobby when reviewers take points off rating of this album only because of More Fool Me and I Know What I Like. They are not simply 'poppy' commercial songs, but crucial parts of the record as a whole.
	If you don't stand up You don't stand a chance!

	It sounds like something left over from FGTR. Not bad I guess.

	OK, someone please help me here. It seems like nobody likes this song from Genesis' Selling England By The Pound. People view it as the only weak track on the album. Somebody tell me why. I happen to love this song. It confuses me. Why does everybody (well, almost everybody) dislike this song?
