 Topic: Foxtrot VS. Selling England by the Pound
Posted: November 19 2005 at 12:55 |
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?

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.

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 like Foxtrot a little better because of More Fool Me (it makes Selling
England A LITTLE weaker IMO.) Nonetheless they are both incredible albums.

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

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

I voted for Foxtrot.
The only 4 albums by Genesis that i can listen to are Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Euro & The Lamb Lies Down in Broadway.
This is how i rate them....
Nursery Cryme - 80%
Foxtrot - 90%
SEBTP - 85%
TLLDOB - 75%

Two masterpieces but Foxtrot is slightly superior due to 'Supper's Ready', the music of the musics...

"just 'good' albums"? dude have you actually HEARD any of them? what do you mean by just 'good'?! I think saying that they are both perfect albums would be underestimating them!

I like Selling England, mainly because Firth Of Fifth is the best Genesis song I've heard but the difference is that Foxtrot has no weak tracks wereas More Fool Me and The Battle Of Epping Forest are not particully endering to me.

Love Foxtrot, overcame an early lead by Selling England by the Pound to claim the fav Genesis album spot. Classic album!

Foxtrot, my favorite album of all time It's just perfect. SEBTP has I Like What I Know and No Fool Me, which drag it down a bit. Both are five star albums, still.

I'm not a big Genesis fan, but Selling England has better songs than Foxtrot (except Supper's ready, of course). It's their best effort for my taste.
