The overlooked gem "Can-Utility and the Coastliners." Nearly everything good about Genesis summed up in five minutes.

| I don't understand why are we still calling Can Utility And The Coastliners an overlooked gem. It wins almost every poll where it is included. Anyway, here there is no doubt that Supper's Ready should win, so I'll go with Horizons that I believe won't receive much love. |

| Can-Utility, just because it's less silly and more consistently great than Supper's Ready. |

Supper's Ready, as those silly moments (middle part of Willow Farm) always make me shiver.  Can-Utility is a close second though. -------------

Too easy for me, it's got to be Suppers Ready, but I'm going to be awkward and vote for 'Can Utility...' Brilliant track that comes a very close second, and it doesn't stand a chance of winning the poll, so it needs some love here.. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

To me Horizons is an essential part of Supper's Ready. I can't understand why it was listed as a separate track.
The four tracks on side one already add up to a great album. Then add the greatest track of all time. Song for song this is probably the greatest album ever.
It's not my favourite album however - DSOTM, The Lamb, Close to the Edge, Caravanserai, Saucerful of Secrets and Sticky Fingers all have a cohesiveness that puts them ahead as albums IMO.

Did'nt vote......the poll would have been easier if it was called 'what's your least favourite Genesis song from Foxtrot'.
It's hard to vote for your favourite when you like them all, equally.

| Supper's Ready is "the obvious choice", but since it's Get 'Em Out By Friday is one of my favourite Genesis songs, and doesn't get enough attention in my opinion, I'll go with it. |

I'm talking about the Genesis catalog as a whole. When there is a discussion of Genesis, this song is often overlooked in favor of several other songs. Also, the band never did it on any live albums that I know of. ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

My friends, don´t be angry but I must go against the tide again. Supper´s ready seems to me as one of the weakest songs of Foxtrot, coz it´s too expatiative and not cohesive at all for me. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!

Hard to believe anyone would vote "Time Table" over such classics, that's probably my least favourite Genesis song in the time between Trespass and "Me And Virgil".  .... but! Different tastes and opinions are what make the world go 'round.I went with "Can-Utility" because it deserves so much more attention than it gets, in most circles anyway. It's getting some love here which is nice to see. ------------- Genesis/Yes/Rush/Marillion/VDGG&PH/The Flower Kings/Zappa/Änglagård/Wobbler/PFM/Banco/Le Orme/Jethro Tull/Spock's Beard/Transatlantic/Ayreon/Beardfish/IQ/Dream Theater/Opeth/P.Tree/Arena/Camel/Kaipa! |

No disrespect intended but this is a bit pointless.Would have been more interesting to exclude Supper Ready and do a 'side one' poll instead.
It is a great album though and one I prefer to SEBTP (slightly overrated imo) and Lamb as far as Gabriel era Genesis albums go.
