bluefox4000 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) I've been thinking it over Both Bands have GREAT records. Genesis Nursery CrymeFoxtrotSelling EnglandTrick of the TailWindDukeAbacabGenesis Rush Caress Of Steel2112HemispheresWavesMoving PicturesSignalsWindowsHYFPresto Looking at the lists. I'm going with Genesis Waves and MP notwithstanding. Genesis just has higher highs, IMO. I really don't need to listen again as both bands music is in my DNA. But Album like, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England, Trick, Wind, Duke, Abacab.......really tip it for me. Genesis all day.

Digital Dad Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Chester > Neil Hell yeah. Chester said he had to cut back on his swing to play with Genesis. If he did you cant tell he swings like a Mofo and made that music all the more funky while still basically playing like Phil Collins which is a testament to just how good PC was at his peak. Then check his work with Zappa. FZs music never swung the way it did when Chester played with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Rush all day. I love the early Genesis albums, up through Lamb. Fantastic stuff. But no way do they beat the best of Rush, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better keyboard player? http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff508/blackcc/GIFs/WEC3VJF_zpsncx6fxsj.gifI was thinking the same thing. Geddy is a fantastic bass player and a good singer but Tony Banks is in a different league as a keyboard player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relayer2112 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I've never really compared the two as their style is so different. I don't think I'll start now other than to say that they are two of my favorite bands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 in an alternate dimension where the first genesis album was their self-titled, this could be the absolute worst thread ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'll start now other than to say that they are two of my favorite bands. Funny irony, Genesis grew up loving American R&B, fused with folk and then extended arrangements as their musical vocabulary grew. Rush grew up listening to English musicians apeing American sensibilities and increasingly English pastoral folk while extending arrangements as their musical vocabulary grew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Rush has pretty much always been Rush. One lineup change, after the first album, then one band. How many lineup changes for Genesis? The Incredible Shrinking Band? Genesis has been several bands. I love 'em both, but I'm going with Rush. And of once again, Collins Genesis over Gabriel Genesis, any day of the week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genesis was the better pop band. I like when Rush tried it with presto. but man albums like duke Abacab, And Genesis are awesome. Duke and Abcacab kinda had like a cool Prog/pop thing going.

bathory Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 70s prog bands in the 80s ranked 1. rush (obviously)2. king crimson (discipline's a classic, remain in light-era talking heads meets king crimson)3. genesis4. yes5. jethro tull I haven't heard any other 70s band's 80s material. we could count zappa as prog, he was pretty bad in the 80s from what I've heard, but I won't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Zappa wasnt bad per se in The 80s. Its just that the 70s were SOOOO GOOOOD. His Fall 80, 81/82 and 88 ensembles rank as some of his best ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
