Ok. Which is superior ?

that's vague, superior how? 

Genesis 

Neither is superior. Different dinosaurs.

This will be close as I suspect to confirm the dichotomy...

easily Genesis because of Suppers Ready --but Dark side is good.

Foxtrot, but both are very good.

Dark Side of the Moon has always been a far superior album listening experience for me. 

Darkside is probably "superior" but I don't like it more. But I suppose it depends on what is meant by superior. I think as a rock album Darkside is better but as a prog album Foxtrot(although there are a few Genesis albums I like better). Anyway, no vote from me.

That's very similar to what I was going to say, only that's better expressed. Also, I do consider Dark Side of the Moon to be the much more remarkable and significant album in the history of rock, music generally, and art. That doesn't make it intrinsically to be of better quality, but Dark Side of the Moon is far more iconic and has had a much greater impact.

I've never much liked Foxtrot. I don't find it to be anything special even just in the Genesis oeuvre. To me it doesn't stand out, and if we were without it, well, it's not that remarkable or unusual an achievement for Genesis. One could easily substitute Nursery Cryme or Selling England by the Pound, I think. And as art rock, I dig The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

Dark Side of the Moon may not be my favourite Pink Floyd (it has been), but it does still stand out in the discography as it is so iconic, and it gets referenced in popular culture a great deal. It is one of the great works of the second half of the 20th century I'd posit, whereas Foxtrot is just another Gabriel era Genesis album to me, and it happens to be my least liked of those other than the debut. Pink Floyd has many great albums I think, but only one Dark Side of the Moon. I don't feel quite the same about Genesis with Foxtrot.

Foxtrot.
