"Supper's Ready" is a seven-part song by the seminal progressive rock band [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]], appearing on their 1972 album ''Foxtrot''. At 23 minutes long, it takes up one side of the original vinyl release (apart from a brief unrelated instrumental entitled "Horizons") and is Genesis' first real [[Rock Opera]] (if "The Musical Box" doesn't count, anyway). Alongside ''[[The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway]]'', It's one of the major contributors to Genesis' lasting reputation and influence on progressive rock, and it's exactly how a surrealist prog-rock opera should be done. |
