priest_of_syrinx Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Genesis is definitely my favorite. I'd rank them as such: Genesis Pink Floyd Jethro Tull Yes King Crimson ELP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watered down pop songs you here in Disney movies No arguing on that from me. There were a couple of songs off the self titled album that are decent, but the decline had begun by that point. I throw up in my mouth a little bit every time I hear "We Can't Dance". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Can't Dance has a bigger share of good tunes: No Son of Mine, Driving the Last Spike, Dreaming While You Sleep, Living Forever, and Fading Lights. They're all very good in my book.

It's easy to draw the line at Duke, but there's still some solid stuff if you look past the singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both those are good records. Prog snobs don't want to admit it. In fact it's about time for me to give them a spin again. It's been a long time. I still think Abacab is my fav Genesis record.

ColdFireYYZ Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Duke, Abacab, and the self-titled album are all very good albums. I've only listened to We Can't Dance once but I remember being bored by it even though I liked Fading Lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Ok I LOVED Duke. Abacab was the last full Genesis album I loved. Self Titled had side 1 which was brilliant. Side two was Shit.

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I love those latter day Genesis albums, bar Hold On My Heart, Tell Me Why, In Too Deep & Illegal Alien. However, Calling All Stations is truly an abomination. Doctor Moreau could not devise anything as abhorrent as that bucket of monkey snot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Duke and Abacab are my favorite Genesis albums. I must say I prefer both Collins Genesis and solo Gabriel to Gabriel Genesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know as well as i do, Sales does not make a band good. Beiber ? Spears ? They sell a boat full of albums and they suck . Those albums from Duke thru We Can't Dance sold because 75% of those albums were Pop . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
