    Plague would win over Supper's Ready for me any day, it is just out of this world (they're both magnificient though).

    My introduction to nonpop music was mostly via Island Records, but yeah, Charisma having VdGG and Genesis (when I loved them) was also a big factor in my musical development.

    the comparison with Genesis makes sense. weren't they both on the Charisma label at this point?

    Plague v Supper's Ready? A very high-scoring draw I think. It depends on my mood, but I love both of them.... But seriously, one of the best songs. Ever. Every moment is wondrous. [5] On the other had, Childlike Faith in Childhood's End.... also wondrous from start to finish
