Supper is probably the 4th or 5th best song on it's own album. Good song but cringeworthy in parts

The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand'  |

Supper's Ready for me. Both are masterpieces, both are overrated. But I like genesis' better. ------------- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// A veces es cuestión de esperar, y tomarte en silencio. |

Supper's Ready is about the only "classic" prog epic I dislike more than Close to the Edge |

| When I did this poll some months ago, Close to the Edge won (at least up to the last time I saw it). Perhaps things have changed a bit, perhaps we just have to give this poll a bit more time. However,I still got with Close to the Edge. |

Close to the Edge because I don't really get Genesis at all.

Close to the Edge, even though I much prefer Genesis' best songs over Yes. (I don't consider "Supper's Ready" a great song, except for the first 5 minutes or so.) |

I would have automatically just clicked Supper's Ready even a few years ago, but today had to think about it. Close to the Edge is really an excellent slice of prog pie. I still chose SR. It's my favorite track on my favorite album by my favorite band.

As epic as Supper's Ready is. Close To the Edge is musical Perfection. CTTE wins. I Get Up, I get down section is one of the most beautiful music passages ever recorded.

This. What makes Close to the Edge so perfect is that it's really one single uniformly great song, as opposed to Supper's Ready and similar "epics" which are really just a bunch of songs strung together. It doesn't help that I dislike "Ikhnaton and Itsacon and Their Band of Merry Men" and am only mildly entertained by "Lover's Leap" and "The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man" (although the superior arrangement in "As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs" makes me appreciate their melodic content more). Additionally, Tony's keyboard sounds in this piece are pretty unfitting. |

Poll/thread deja voo doo. About the only things these two pieces have in common is length, good musicianship, and being prog, otherwise stylistically speaking they are two different animals. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
