Wow, look at the contrast between these two records! 

I thought for sure that everyone was "Selling England By The Pound" obsessed LOL.

Selling England by the Pound. Better all around album. Better musicianship. Lacked a little aggression; not able to punch through on some tracks. But, oh well, neither was as good as any of the others (The Lamb, Nursery Cryme, Trespass). They still represent a high standard though.

Supper's Ready was a masterpiece, Watcher was simply stunning, Out by Friday was extraordinary, Horizons was beautiful, Can-Utility was breathtaking and Time Table was not bad at all.

But never better than Selling England. Sure, it had the awful More Fool Me, but it had 5 masterpieces as well as a great bookend track. I Know What I Like is definitely forgiveable, seeing as it was basically a catchy prog track (imo). It's a wonder how Foxtrot managed to crush SEbtP so hard...

EDIT: After discovering what "multi-vote poll" means, it's all very clear to me...

Supper is ready for me too: Foxtrot all the way. It's a true masterpiece. Selling England in its two best bites, that are Firth of Fifth and The Cinema Show, sounds like an improvisation to me for most of the time. I am obviously aware that Selling England tops most of charts, but as for me, Foxtrot is better and Supper's Ready is a fantastic piece of music in all history of music, of all genres. The positive reception of Supper's Ready, I am pleased to admit, is even being further enhanced through reading relevant part of Chris James' Stories of Genesis (selling by the Pound for Kindles). They are seriously powerful turbochargers for best Genesis' artwork!

The starter made an open poll, that's useless, because people can vote as many times as they want.

I simply can't choose between these 2 classic era Genesis releases.  I think Nursery Crymes, Foxtrot, Selling England and.....Trick of the Tail are all equally great.

There are weak tracks on Foxtrot.

Foxtrot, easily. It's not just More Fool Me that brings down SEBTP, but also The Battle Of Epping Forest which I've always found nigh-insufferable.
