I've voted in one of these before, and Supper's Ready keeps getting
further ahead. Close to the Edge could have been about 12 minutes, and
Supper's Ready can't lose a minute.
The vocals have so much more urgency and passion in Supper's Ready.

No doubt: Supper's ready. I've never considered CTTE to be the best Yessong anyway. I like both Roundabout, The Gates of Delirium and Starship Trooper better.
Now listening to XTC - Apple Venus Vol. 1, wonderful!!! A must for those who love a healthy mixture of pop and advanced rock

Close To The Edge for me.
I agree that Supper's Ready is NOT my favorite Genesis track, although it is very good. Let's go with Looking For Someone from Trespass, then The Musical Box, then Duke's Travels/Duke's End, then Supper'r Ready.

I'm sort of a prog noob you could say and I've just listened to these 2 songs back to back and I'm going to have to say I really found Supper's Ready better and more interesting

Supper's ready is my favorite song of all time
In fact, Foxtrot and CTTE are my favorite albums of all time, but I think Supper's Ready has more harmony to it, more emotion. It's just a better composition IMO. And I think that And You And I is the best song off CTTE, not the title track. All are amazing, still

I voted
Supper's Ready. I've just listened through CTTE once, and I can't say
that I felt anything but disappointment, after seeing it ranked as the
top symphonic prog album here at progarchives. I thought it would be
better. Of course, it was good, and it will surely grow with some more
listenings, but will it ever match Supper's Ready in my mind and heart?
I don't think so. Supper's Ready is a ever changing tune, with lyrics
with more layers than an onion, and a fantastic story behind thos
lyrics as well. The only thing I dislike with it is that the studio
version ends with a fadeout, but it's a good fadeout, to it's defence.
Supper's Ready, as sure as eggs is eggs.

As sure as Eggs is Eggs, the final part of suppers ready. Look at the
little booklet that comes with the CD album. SR, Suppers Ready. "But
there even" I guess I should have said until, not except in that
sentance, but whatever. So there both just as good in my book until it
gets to the ending of Supper's Ready, thats just exceptional, get it
now??
Edit: You guys wouldn't know this but yesterday when I posted this I
had an operation and probobly wasn't thinking to strait. So uhh... even
though I can understand it, sorry if you can't.

I do agree. I find it very funny how, when Peter Gabriel and Phill Collins were togethr, they created amazign Prog, but when the split up, they both mad crappy pop music.
How does that happen?

yeah, if you ignore the 5 years of great music they made without peter gabriel before turning pop.
and some of their poppier songs are great, especially 'follow you, follow me'

Like all GOOD music, It depends how I feel. If I listened to CTTE or SR everyday for a year I'd probably end up hating (well maybe not that much) them. I have different favourites all the time and I think all these polls of top albums etc are a bit false. Both these give me great memories back in '72 when I saw Genesis at the Oval (with Wishbone Ash/ELP/Focus/Jack Bruce/Argent ....) and then i heard CTTE at a gig I played in 'The Growling Budgie' in Leytonstone I think.(yes that's what it was called and come to think of it they played Focus' Moving Waves too.. you don't get that at a gig now do you) At a stretch maybe CTTE ........ but then another day SR ??

*sigh* I would so like to understand this sentence... Does one have to be a native English speaker to get the idea behind it? 
Glad to see CTTE still firmly ahead of SR. It's only right, after all.

Supper's Ready, boring? What the heck? I mean, Yes is incredibly talented -- perhaps more so than Genesis, although it still think that's based mainly on point of view. But still... Boring?
I don't see how the 4-minute build-up to the chorus (which is quite good, don't get me wrong) in CTTE isn't boring to some extent. And the "I get up, I get down" section? Well, it all boils down to personal taste.
SR gets my vote, though.
