It's ok that you don't like it, but it's definitely not overrated, about half of the people here hate it.

No offense, but I'm too young to have a heart attack. You should, like, found a prog religion of your own. LOL

I don't think there is even really such a thing as "overrated", even if a mill people said that on this website before. The reason why I'm saying this is because I like EVERYTHING that you have listed above ... except for Rush's stuff. I'm not into that ... yet? And I only heard VDGG's 60's stuff, you know, like 'Firebrand' and 'Necromancer.' 

"What are you saying, that there IS a good reason why girls like Justin Bieber?" No, not really. Some of those girls think he is the best drummer the world has ever had (check it out on YouTube), so no.LOL

I'm still a pretty recent prog fan so I still dunno which songs will stand the test of time. Even so, I think The Cinema Show is A LITTLE BIT overrated,


I'm not that ken on Plague either. Too much just seems like noise and chaos for the sake of it. Least favourite track on Pawn Hearts. Now, Man ERG is masterful!

Surprisingly i disagree with most of these.
 
The Genesis songs listed are great - The Cinema Show being apart of the superior side of Selling England.
 
Moving Pictures is really great, but Permanent Waves executes accessibilty mixed with prog much more sucessful. Pertaining to the Side 1 section - Limelight and YYZ are absolute Rush classics.
 
Starless is not overrated. In the Court of the Crimson King is though. I think people take it's influence into the rating of the album too heavily.
 
Pink Floyd's The Wall is the main culprite of being overrated. Dark Side of the Moon is good - but heh.
 
Plauge of Lighthouse Keepers is amazing.
 
Thick as a Brick sucks. And i completly agree with you - it's really boring.
Crushed like a rose in the riverflow.

I've found over time that I dislike the song "In the Court of the Crimson King"  The chorus gets on my nerves, and it's repeated too frequently.  I used to like it, now I skip it.

This is my top 10 plus 10 more overrated abums in prog:
I look up, I'm almost blinded

by the warmth of what's inside me

and the taste that's in my soul,

but I'm dead inside as I stand alone...

I personally think The Battle Of Epping Forest is too silly for its own good, but that doesn't change anything. Many other people probably think that "The Camera Eye" by Rush is overrated - but I heart it to pieces.


Whatever. People will post their lists and feelings will be hurt. Although, knowing the nature of the forum these days it will just be people posting lists without looking at the ones already posted. No discussion - just narcissistic w**kery.

I couldn't agree with you more; you have quite a point there. However, there are actually some minor discussions going on, although they don't bring us to anything. Besides, I do see some interesting lists that present various points, like: "Oh, there is at least one person who would put FGTR into his top 5 Genesis favorite albums list." Plus, I have just discovered Geoffrey Richardson through Canterzeuhl.

That's right. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, even though it's been said, like, a gazillion times before, no matter what anyone says about your POV.

Yeah.. I love all the songs on that list! I sort of agree about the Can song, though. They have much better ones.

I'm not the biggest ELP fan myself, but not even Karn Evil 9! Shocked In my opinion, the song is a masterpiece.
