Posted: November 08 2010 at 16:38 |
Welcome to Semi-finals Division 1 of Battle of the Prog Bands! This time, our two contenders are Genesis and King Crimson. Vote for your favorite, and the band with the most votes will move onto the Finals. Please do not vote unless you have listened to at least one album by both bands.
Here is the tournament thus far:
Schedule for Upcoming Matches Semi-finals Division 2 - November 13 Finals - November 18 Final Results - November 24
About a year ago I would have said Genesis. Now I say King Crimson. Unparalleled in the Rock world in general as far as re-inventing themselves and innovation goes.

...Genesis, you know that you have my eternal love. But my vote rests in the court of the Crimson King this time round. I've always felt that King Crimson were one of the most "progressive" of all the bands in prog-rock.

Tough one. Have to go with Crimson as I find their output more consistent, and they were always interested in changing their sound.

This one is sooooooooo hard. Both have an amazing body of work and huge influencial power in the world of rock and progressive rock.
I feel though that in the main stream rock avenue, Genesis is more influential, while KC was not as broad. I also feel the body of work goes to Genesis, more recognized, more influential.....but so hard as In the Court is so huge of a production.....
Genesis is my 2nd favorite band of all time........I'm fighting the urge....I've got to take some time on this one.....

the crimson king, always progressing and pushing the boundaries of music. They always made music their way, nobody else is like KC. Genesis was great for a limited time

I won't vote. I can't vote. Too difficult to choose by far.

Ah, here we are finally, or at least semi-finally.
Obviously not an easy one, but in microseconds I chose Fripp's gang. They win this street fight.

Yay, I can vote in this one...even though I think their debut is overrated, it's gotta be King Crimson for me. Genesis never made an album like Red, Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Lizard, Discipline, or Islands (or any of the other KC albums, as I don't dislike any of them).
