I used to work in a record store in the early 90's
customer: "hey you guys don't have any Floyd?"
me: "yes, did you look under P"
customer: "I'm an idiot"

LOL That's hilarious!
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Foxtrot is an excellent album of progressive rock and I now think it may be my favourite out of Genesis' studio albums. However I voted for DSOTM, not because of production and sound effects because apart from the supreme songwriting there is something really deep about this album, touching the basis of the human condition, if you want. There are some reaction videos around demonstrating what it does to people.

Now I love Watcher of the Skies to pieces but it will not trigger this kind of feelings. Obviously this has nothing to do with how proggy it is, that's a side issue of little musical and emotional interest.

Yes we are talkin about very good albums, masterpieces or almost masterpieces. I agree with you, sound effects in TDSOTM perfectly fit into the general scope of the album. In my personal ranking both Foxtrot and TDSOTM are between 4 and 5 stars, but TDSOTM is really close to 5 stars.

Still, I consider TDSOTM overrated thanks to the perfection of his packaging. Overrated if I think that it is in the Top 10 of PA and RateYourMusic. 
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.
