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.

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.

No way I can pick one over the other.

Almost nothing can beat Supper's Ready. So the winner picked by me is obvious.

Supper's Ready. The first three minutes, Willow Farm and Apocalypse in 9/8 are uncontested.

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
Same here
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Gates is the best prog epic ever made and Suppers Ready is second (IMO)

hah. Easy

take a collection of incredibly talented instrumentalists.... toss into the bowl.. an epic on a seminal piece of literature with very pertinent overall theme.

Let them blow your mind with 'god I wish I was that good' playing, in a nice tidy easy to follow arrangement. A free flowing piece that is not a collage of song tidbits.. but a complete whole of a composition with real structure.

A stirring and martial Prelude.. then battle..where they go apesh*t crazy...then a very touching and beautiful finale as one realizes that while battle is great and lets out the alpha male in all of us... it is all just a colossal waste.

and just what is Super's Ready...  a collage of song tidbits..what is the point and purpose of it. It is  more prone to put you to sleep than make you think and feel.. or simply to inspire you to grab yer geetar and play..

^ The main reason I don't like Gates much is because I'm always thinking: "Jon, shut the f**k up!" LOL
The instrumental is very nice but there are too much vocals for my taste. When I think about listening to Relayer I look at all the lyrics in the gatefold and then I pick something else LOL
