Now...it's 3 days that when I wake up in the morning for a strange reason I have Starless playing in my mind. Confused


King Crimson took me quite a while to get into also (though I'm only 23), but the persistence was rewarding, and I'm glad I didn't give up on them. It took me even longer to get into Debut -> Islands because of the lack of "rock", like you say. But like any band you begin to get to know and love, it has been very rewarding.

surprised you Chose PRESTO in the Rush category. I'd say TEST FOR ECHO was a lessor accomplishment. Anyway, the others I agree with you. Boy? Everyone hates that ABACAB. Lol

Just noticed that, I think `Abacab' is rather good! A mostly interesting collection of inventive new-wave, reggae, prog and rather skewed pop! I very much defend that one!

No-one's denying the dog-s**t quality of VdGG's `ALT' though.....

(though I've noticed the odd defender here and there for it)

I have yet to see anyone defend ELP's Love Beach (though I have yet to listen to it).

Ironically, Metalmarsh89, I gave `Love Beach' a fair review a while back lol!

I tried to focus on the (urh...) `good' or positive aspects of it, I think which were Palmer's drumming and Lake's voice in good form. Not quite the dog it's made out to be, though far from a great album at the same time. I think that dreadful cover really instantly and unfairly turns people off it - and with good reason!

Micheal, I'm gonna be completely honest with you I like ABACAB as well. Dodo/lurker is a great track. One of my favourite 80's esc tracks. Also, when people bad mouth it I never feel the compelling urge to defend it because I can understand very well why some people really dislike the album.

And that is why there is NO REPLY AT ALL.

It's true though. So many people, especially on PA really dislike ABACAB. I think because it was such a radical switch in sound that happened quite abruptly, but with the DUKE album people should've felt it coming....pop! And more of it.

I don't hate it at all either. I grew up on 80's New Wave because that's what my parents listened to, so many of those Genesis tunes are ingrained in my being. Today I definitely favor their earlier works, but once upon a time, I knew not that Supper's Ready. Wink

I'm starting to wonder if this is the sort of direction Muse is taking, only with dub-step being the popular new genre they are venturing into.

I am glad to see your sound scope is quite clear and that you are seeing quite far, meaning you appreciate the different levels of sound that Genesis has to offer. I like ABACAB as well. I grew up in the 80's and early 90's, so I know how you feel. Anyways I appreciate ABACAB for what it is and Micheal (AUSSIE-BYRD-BROTHER) hit the nail right on the head with his accurate description of the album. It's true. It has a bit of a reggae element too. :)

I hate Genesis at all and I don't think ABACAB is their worst. Its guilt is to have been their first truely mainstream album, but WE CAN'T DANCE is not better than it. 

When I say "I hate Genesis" it means that I'm not a fan, but I can listen to them and I quite like The Lamb.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I agree with the guy that says Lizard and Islands were not that good. But lulz to the guy who can't find a Yes album worse than Tales. I don't listen to Tales much nor would I call it good really, but its a masterpiece held up against Big Generator, Talk and Open Your Eyes.


Mine is:

Voivod
Nothingface - Voivod (Edit: I originally said Negatron, but rethought this and remembered how awful the self-titled album was)
