I think that Supper's Ready has a better climax, but Gates is an overall better piece. Despite how much I think some of Genesis' best music is in Supper, I still find it as a whole to be disjointed. Gates is very driven, very purposeful, from beginning to end.

Both are cool for first 7 mins or so. Gates drops off a lot after that and supper drops off a bit too. Yes became too big for their boots in 73 and 74. Sound chaser sounds pretty silly

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Gates probably as its a cathartic work of art. Supper's Ready is mostly magic and only boring if you're not paying attention.

Tough one, actually.
Supper's Ready was an old favorite of mine, and some parts still bring a shiver to the spine.
These days I prefer Gates Of Delirium, but only slightly.
Yes is completely going loose on Jon Anderson's musical fantasies over "War And Peace". 
Wolves crying, batlles with guitars, and on top of it, Moraz' wonderful synths.

Supper's Ready! How is there any comparison?! That said, Gates is much better structured and definitely the highlight of Relayer. Possibly Yes' greatest ever song actually...

I feel the same as you. Gates gets me pumped and excited, I can barely get through the first few minutes of Supper's Ready before I'm bored out of my mind

yeah man. Nowhere near my favorite but Gates still towers above anything Genesis did.


Gates of Delirium ROCKS!!! and yet ends with purpose and such beauty.. what does Supper's Ready do...  amuse you with a mildly clever section about Winston Churchill being in drag.

pfff..  I really don't understand you Genesis bobbleheads LOL

Fun fact: Banks says his organ solo in "Supper's Ready"'s 'Apocalypse In 9/8' section was meant to parody Emerson's style. WinkLOL


so he says I suppose LOL  Emerson was guilty of many sins .. but putting one to sleep was never one of them.

Oh yeah. "Tarkus" over "Supper's Ready" any day.

I do consider it a few degrees better then "Gates", though.

Supper's Ready is a slam dunk......It does what an epic should and that is take you on a journey and then bring you back home, the song is brilliance.
 
Gates is also brilliant, but lands shy of what Genesis did on Supper.

"The Gates of Delirium" hands down. Relayer is an album that grew on me over the years, though it did take a long time to finally do so. On the other hand, I have never managed to get into "Supper's Ready" - or the whole of Foxtrot for that matter.

Gates is probably my favorite Yes track, but against Supper's Ready - easy call. Supper's Ready...
