A nice small song but somehow it does not fit into the list of other great songs from the album (I also think that "I know what I like" is VERY VERY overrated - it's far from being a masterpiece)

PF, Genesis, KC, Yes, VdGG, GG, Camel, Jethro Tull

"Try Foxtrot, it's perfect, not a weak song."

*cough* You forgetting Time Table? That one is one of the worst songs Genesis ever did, IMO. Of course, it's a Tony Banks tune -- Banks was borderline incompetent as a writer.

"More fool me" is a pleasant short pop song. What is the problem with tht. I´d rather listen to this a hundred times before playing "On the run " from the same year. I´d rather listen to this than most of the 80 minutes in "Tales" . Or those 10 minutes of filler in "Lark´s part one".

You see?, the problem is not that "Selling" has a poppy song. The problem is that people want this album to not beat dramatically the rest of the albums from that year.

Are you joking?
Time Table is very nice...
The one I always find hard to digest on that record is Get 'em Out By Friday...I must take it a little bit at a time!

A flower?

The song is total crap, i have nothing against good pop songs, but that song is not good. your taste must stink if you think its good, have you ever heard the Beatles?

Oh well it must be fact, my taste must stink then. Funny, I personally liked my music taste, but now I know I've been listening to crap all these years since you've shown me the light Zargus.

Your taste must superlative, lets hope we can all have taste just like yours.

Ridicule is the burden of genius.
