Foxtrot. Both are great, but there is no weak track on Foxtrot and Selling England has "No Fool Me" which is not a good song.

It's a proof of how meaningless a multiple votes poll is.

I did it in 65 seconds just to prove how futile is to make multiple choice polls.

Oh, my God! How could Foxtrot beat SEBTP? SEBTP has a more audible Hackett guitar, brainy compositions, and a serious concept. Foxtrot has some cold music and incoherence on 'Supper'.

Where's the "Damn, I can't choose" choice like on the other Foxtrot poll?

Foxtrot, easily. It's not just More Fool Me that brings down SEBTP, but also The Battle Of Epping Forest which I've always found nigh-insufferable.

Yeah, someone's really messing with the votes both ways ... considering the fact that we are only on the 4th page.

I simply can't choose between these 2 classic era Genesis releases.  I think Nursery Crymes, Foxtrot, Selling England and.....Trick of the Tail are all equally great.

The starter made an open poll, that's useless, because people can vote as many times as they want.

Supper is ready for me too: Foxtrot all the way. It's a true masterpiece. Selling England in its two best bites, that are Firth of Fifth and The Cinema Show, sounds like an improvisation to me for most of the time. I am obviously aware that Selling England tops most of charts, but as for me, Foxtrot is better and Supper's Ready is a fantastic piece of music in all history of music, of all genres. The positive reception of Supper's Ready, I am pleased to admit, is even being further enhanced through reading relevant part of Chris James' Stories of Genesis (selling by the Pound for Kindles). They are seriously powerful turbochargers for best Genesis' artwork!
