Foxtrot by a mile, SEBTP is great, but by far my least favorite Gabriel Genesis album.

Both are just 'good' albums, no more no less, rating a solid ***stars each! Suppers Ready makes Foxtrot slighty better than Selling.......!

I like Foxtrot a little better because of More Fool Me (it makes Selling
England A LITTLE weaker IMO.) Nonetheless they are both incredible albums.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Selling England By the Pound for four reasons.  First it was my first Genesis album, and I think that it was first to really IMPRESS me so it will always have sentimental value.  Secondly, I love the theatrical nature of the album, which seemed much more pronounced than Foxtrots.  The third reason is Dancing With the Moonlit Knight and the fourth is The Cinema Show.

I prefer ( by far ) Selling England...

Foxtrot has the beautiful Supper`s Ready ... but as an album, i prefer Selling and Nursery

I voted for Selling England By The Pound.  I love this album, though both are masterpieces in my opinion, along with The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.

I'm pretty sure that most people will vote Selling England, but in my opinion FOXTROT was Genesis' artistic peak, and their most complex and interesting album... What's your opinion?
