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. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

Can-Utility And The Coastliners is the best after Suppers Ready. Also I like Watcher of the Skies and Horizons. ------------- "I can't see through my eye lids" |

"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. ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

| Get 'Em out by Friday, but the whole album is excellent. |

| 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". ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

I like Ca-Utility better than Suppers Ready, is that contraversial? ------------- Ridicule is the burden of genius. |

| 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:
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.

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 |

| I'd always overlooked Can Utility until recently but it's a little gem. In fact it's the BEST track on this outstanding album. |

Chalk up another vote in this Can-Utility love fest

me too, I hardly just listen to Horizons or just to Supper's Ready, on my comp I have no gap between the songs so it blends them like one. It just makes sense to me like that, Supper's Ready starts off too quick it needs Horizons ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

I hate when a song gets a lot of plays and praise it automatically gets thrown away as a result. The fact that someone can say 'I like Watcher of the Skies the least' It's a classic!!! Watcher of the Skies gets my vote ------------- My computer's broke |

I like Watcher of the Skies the least, but they are all so good I'm not saying I hate Watcher... I just like them all slightly more. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

Not at all. I've never been too impressed by Supper's Ready, and would rate Get 'Em Out higer in quality than the epic track. |

| suppers ready isn't even the best song. It's probably the 3rd or 4th best song on the album. Overrated song |

maybe we should do this poll again with Supper's Ready added then ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |
