All instruments aside- I say Death wins in an all out fight. Death wins.

Death is more than just a death metal band, not one of the millions that all sound alike and try to be uber br00tal. They more or less made the sound. Their later stuff also moved into more technical territory, and were a huge influence on tech metal. They are true innovators in metal and Chuck was a great songwriter. Even their old stuff had some groove and real movement to it, not just bashing their instruments away.

The comments have been pretty civil actually, I expected them all to be "WHAT DEATH HAS SO MANY VOTES WHAT THE HELL?"LOL

Anyway, some Genesis is pretty good but Death has made much more good material and had way more innovation and impact on its genre than Genesis did for its.


Indeed. He improved on every released record, unlike some english band who actually got worse with every passing record.

Just for the record (lol, Marillion quote), I don't hate Genesis.

Genesis would've had Death beaten in my heart if they'd had just one more album as consistent as Selling England. As it stands, the Death material beginning with Human and ending with my favorite death metal album of all time, Sounds of Perseverance, swiftly defeats anything by Genesis for me.

Death is one of the godfathers of extreme metal, death metal, extreme progressive metal and progressive death metal and Chuck Shuldiner invented many things which are still in use today in the heavy metal scene.

Genesis is an unsuccessful English band with some of the least united group of friends I have ever seen. I do recognize that Trespass and Nursery Crime are reasonably good albums, though being the only ones they were able to release with some actual quality throughout the whole record and not in some individual songs alone.

Genesis. Though Death is good.

Justin Bieber vs Cannibal Corpse seems like a good next poll...

I'm going on innovation here, and although Genesis brought something new to the prog rock table, they didn't push an entire genre of music into another direction in the same way Death did. Death gets my vote And plus I only enjoy about two albums from Genesis, and about 5 Death albums

Almost half the voters would prefer death than having to listen to Genesis?

That's a bit extreme.  But I can sympathize with them.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

the realms of Hell and the realm of Death are also to completly different, and not really related, they comunicates, but they are bad at communicate and hostilaty have been reported among its residents, the agents of Death are not willingly entering the halls of Hell, nor do the spys of Hell willingly traspassing the border to Death. the near sight of it would be unbearable...
