I have a few bands that I never stop listening to, but it´s funny how their records change over time. Some of my favourites now have easily super-seeded, what I initially thought of being "the absolute masterpiece" of the band. Pink Floyd, King Crimson, The Doors, Black Sabbath, Genesis, Herbie Hancock, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Captain Beefheart, Porcupine Tree, Amon Düül 2 and a biib-load of others- all share this quality. Incidentally, if you´d asked me this question a year ago, I´d pick Selling over Foxtrot. Today it´s the other way around.

Foxtrot by a mile or two, maybe three.

Foxtrot, mostly for 'Suppers Ready' and 'Can Utility...'
I can understand why SEBTP gets the praise it does. It was the album, where the band really started to play well together, and the production is better than its predecessors. Firth of Fifth and Cinema Show are, without a doubt among the bands best songs, but I tend to prefer the live versions I've heard. However, the Suppers Ready on Foxtrot has never been done better with Collins at the helm. Not that I've heard anyway.

Foxtrot. I dislike the pop-sound of SEBTP.

I did half of it anyway. Never make a poll with multiple votes unless you want it ruined.

Of course both albums are legendary, but Foxtrot is not perfect at all ..althought in SEBTP they reach to the balance in their music so I´ll go with it...

Selling England by the Pound... if only it didn't include The Battle of Epping Forest (for me, this song demerits the album more than More Fool Me and I Know What I Like).

Ironically, I've been spinning both a lot lately, but Foxtrot is my favorite Genesis album. Both are virtually flawless, but I think Foxtrot is bit more consistent for my tastes.

Love both, but Foxtrot has always done it for me.
