Foxtrot is my favourite album of all time but The Lamb is pretty close to be just as great!

I love both, but The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is either my favorite or second favorite Genesis album.

Foxtrot is a top 4* album. The Lamb is a good 3* album.

Lamb--a masterpiece of prog---Foxtrot is great too, but not as cohesive.

Foxtrot, despite Lamb having my favourite Genesis song, In The Cage
I'm so mad that you enjoy a certain combination of noises that I don't

Ooofah!! I picked The Lamb.........if you listen to all 4 sides it makes soooo much sense. A lot of times I find myself wandering during Foxtrot...especially side 2. But Watcher is amazing!

Foxtrot should be regarded as the NO1 prog album imho. Lamb is an interesting but 'flawed masterpeice'.

The Lamb is one of the few Genesis albums I can stand with. Well, I mean that I like it, not just can stand.

Foxtrot... probably. Next week I might choose The Lamb.

My fave track on Foxtrot is 'Can Utility and the Coastliners', a miniature masterpiece.

Well, here's a wrench in the works for you, if we're talking about the original LP releases it's The Lamb. If we're talking about CD releases then Damn I can't decide.But, and here's the crux, if we're talking about the 1970-1975 Remixed Box set then Foxtrot is the clear winner. I have been so absolutely blown away by the remixed editions of 70-75 albums it's like discovering a new band all over. I'll end up sending my original CD's to the local Op-Shop (Sally-Anne,Goodwill) because they may never get played again. Anyone else have these versions and care to share their thoughts?
