Which 23-minute suite is featured on the Foxtrot album?

• A. Supper's Ready
• B. Watcher of the Skies
• C. The Musical Box
• D. Firth of Fifth

Answer: (A)

Recognizing long-form progressive rock suites and where they appear on an album. Supper's Ready is a single, sprawling piece on Genesis' Foxtrot that runs roughly twenty-three minutes, weaving a sequence of contrasting musical sections and shifting moods with narrative-tinged lyrics. This makes it the defining suite on that record, showcasing how the band built a cohesive, multi-part epic within a single album side. By design, it stands apart from shorter songs and from tracks on other albums. For example, Watcher of the Skies is a mid-length song on Foxtrot, not a 23-minute suite; The Musical Box comes from Nursery Cryme, and Firth of Fifth is on Selling England by the Pound. So Supper's Ready best fits the idea of a long, continuous suite on the Foxtrot album.
