A great album, these songs are often lower ranked because of the epic Supper's Ready.  My favorite besides Supper's Ready is Can-Utility and the Coastliners, although Horizons is beautiful as well as the rest of the album. I like Watcher of the Skies the least.
 Which is your favorite?

Can-Utility And The Coastliners  is the best after Suppers

Ready. Also I like Watcher of the Skies and Horizons.

"Foxtrot" ranks extremely HIGH among my preferred albums, hence I find all songs to be above the average with a light advantage for 'Can utility...' a mini-epic that's one good example of how a really progressive song must be.

I too would go for Get 'em out by Friday, although I prefer the Genesis Live version.

Tie between "Watcher Of The Skies", "Get'em Out By Friday" and "Can-Uility and The Coastliners".

I think those three songs are even better than "Supper's Ready".

I like Ca-Utility better than Suppers Ready, is that contraversial?

I like everything on Foxtrot, but Watcher of the Skies is a fantastic opener.

I also like Can-Utility better than Supper's Ready.  It actually makes sense from beginning to end.

I love them all, and you're right Supper's Ready is my favorite... so after that my favorites would be:

  • Can-Utility And The Coastliners
  • Watcher of the Skies
  • Get Em Out By Friday
  • Time Table

I honestly don't really count Horizons as a song on its own, to me it is the intro to Supper's Ready. If all i want to do is listen to Supper's Ready, i start listening with Horizons and let it play thru to Supper's Ready. Simply amazing!

Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

Get 'Em Out by Friday is my favorite second to "Supper's Ready." Every song
on Foxtrot is outstanding though so it is hard to choose.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity
