I find Yes monotonous, dull as ditchwater and lyrically painful except for a very few places.

Genesis are more consistently inventive up until and including Duke, IMO.

yes is my favorite band, so i guess ill go with them .

in response to certif1ed, if you understand yes' lyrics, theyre actually quite amazing. they are sort of in a completley different dimension from genesis and others.

I like both, but if I have to choose, I say Yes!

269 votes on a Poll???

Interesting to find same thing happens in every poll where Yes is part, somebody has enough time to log and logout enough times to assure Yes winning.

I believe 4 Genesis albums are in the top 10 of Prog Archives lists and Yes wins every Poll by almost 50%, this is not normal or even logic.

But who cares?

Anyway, I voted Genesis a while ago. Just because they appeal to me more. Less showoff soloing, more emotion, more beautiful, calm compositions. But if you actually compare albums judging by musical execution, Yes wins.

Yes > FGTR
Time And A Word < Trespass
Yes Album > Nursery Cryme
Fragile < Foxtrot
CTTE > SEBTP
TFTO > The Lamb
Relayer > TOTT
Going For The One > WAW
Tormato = ATTWT(never heard the whole thing)
Drama > Duke
90125 > Abacrap
Big Generator < Shapes
Union >> Invisible Touch

Haven't heard later yes albums, but judging by the ratings, they have to beat the horrible WCD and CAS.

Still, Yes wins. Correct me if I'm wrong somewhere

Well, I need to say that I'm really surprised !!!

YES is a great band, I have almost 2/3 of his catalogue, but I think their work, in comparison with GENESIS, inferior ! And I always thought that people here on PRA were more genesian styled ! (even because all neo-prog bands follows GENESIS, not YES).

What a surprise !!!

But GENESIS is VERY MUCH BETTER than yes !!!!

I HAVE to pick Yes simply because they got to me first. They're one of the reasons I'm into prog right now. Genesis only came after I discovered prog.

No shut up.

All seriousness aside, I would have to go with Yes as my favorite.  Has anyone heard the rumors of Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel re-uniting for somewhat of an official "farewell" tour for Genesis?  Phil Collins said he wouldn't object to taking a seat at the drums while Peter leads the show with the vocals.  I wonder if it'll actually happen.

You've said it all! Not much else can be said on this subject, we're now down to a Yes v Genesis slanging match!

I firmly believe they should compete on the merits of their "classic" periods. I prefer Genesis, because their sound is more stately, their singer more interesting, (vocals are a major issue for me) and their instrumentalist just more generally melodic than Yes.

Yes can be more impressive, though. And Genesis have no "Roundabout" or "Long Distance Runaround" singalongs!

Life is like an avantgarde play because tuna.

I like Genesis a bit more but close to the edge is still the purest of pure genius.
