Funny, my first inclination was to compare Genesis to Mozart. Smile But when I consider all of the post-Hackett material, I maintain that Copeland is a better analogy. After all, my stance was that Genesis is catchy while King Crimson is moving. Sorry, I can't agree with you about the Wagner analogy. King Crimson is to Prog as Bach is to Classical imho. Big smile

Considering all of the post-Hackett material you can't compare Genesis with any classical composer. You are right of course about "King Crimson is moving" but they have lost their spirit during this movement IMO (it's not about Discipline that is a really great album).  
For me Genesis  is a Band till 1977 after this year it's a commercial organization

P.S. For me VdGG is Bach Wink

Would you catch the final words of mine?

Poll's over!  The winner of Round 4 Division 1 of Battle of the Prog Bands is King Crimson.  They will now move onto the Finals, and Genesis is out of the tournament.  See you at the next match of Battle of the Prog Bands!

Well after Genesis trounced Yes so thoroughly in the three time re-match/ re-hash Tongue ... do you dear prog listener think..."That's All?" or do you have "The Power To Believe? " 

King Crimson.

Tough one.  As songwriters, Genesis, Banks and Rutherford in particular, can stand against anyone (even Lennon/Mcartney) .  On the other hand as explorers of music and defenders of integrity, KC is without parallel.  Genesis music has given me more pleasure though and ultimately thats what its about.
