Well, we could start the polls using the most arbitrary and disparate song, album, and band comparisons?

I've never been able to get much into anything on Side 1 of Foxtrot (unlike most tracks on NC or SEBTP). But Suppers Ready is by far my fave Genesis track. Rating about good where it is IMO.

I love Supper's Ready, but believe the other songs don't get the props they deserve.
Can and the Utility Coastliners is absolutely brilliant! |
That track is pure gold.

ummm.. this progger sure as hell does not. Important.. in what way... they still played county fairs and pubs after they did the album.. didn't raise them to 2nd division.. nor made any impact in the prog world. We can't even blame the album for the Neo that was to come.. those albums came later...
so.. an honest question.. other than fanboys loving it today.. what makes it so important. |
You're probably right historically, Micky. Genesis' impact (more specifically, Foxtrot's impact) is more after the fact. However, I'm genuinely curious. What would you say about Van Der Graaf Generator who played most of the same venues on the same ticket?

Not underrated, not overrated. Rated.

I've always thought Foxtrot was the peak for Genesis, but I admit that I am peculiarly biased toward their early albums, and consider their classic period to be Trespass - Foxtrot. Selling England is the one Gabriel era album that just never engaged me. I listened to it again last week to test this.

How can it be underrated when it's in the top 10 most highly rated prog albums here? Personally i find it overrated and quite boring to be honest. I'm running to avoid all the tomatoes now

I will definitely check it out. Thank you for the suggestion!
