Well of course I like the tracks I've mentioned otherwise, well, you know...
They're more effective, in my opinion, as tracks that hang together as a complete composition. This is possibly because they're an organic development, over an extended piece, of a smaller number of themes and ideas. Suppers Ready, on the other hand, while it has some excellent ideas is quite clearly a jigsaw of a number of smaller pieces that often don't quite fit together as well as they might. FFH is similar to SR in that respect but, again in my opinion, it is more cohesive.
It gets a bit tiring, this 70s great, 80s crap mantra. The tracks I mention are far from cheesy and indeed I'd posit that there was as least as much cheese in the 70s as there was in the 80s, even in some of the work of the so called "progressive" artists. There is a whole raft of great music in the 80s from both the established acts of the 70s and from newer bands and artists.
And, yes, sometimes I like a bit of cheese...
