hahaha... ok... can't not excuse that for that one. You get a get a dog ate my good musical sense excuse from me.

Poor guy... if you haven't had very naughty dreams to thoughts of Belinda Carlisle then I think we are on two different levels of existence here.


The 80's ruled.. both musically and especially for the women's fashion.

big hair...and leg warmers ahhh.. god I can't wait for those fads to come back.... LOL

well the prog/pop side of Genesis Phil Collins Backing Band didn't like most of it. isn't imho crap there`s the odd few songs here and there. but funnily with YES! they`ll just seemed to be able to carry it off without losing the prog roots...

Rutherford and Banks just as guilty as Collins!  I also think Yes moved away from their prog roots just as much.
I also saw both bands during this period (Yes - 90125 and Genesis - Invisible Touch) - it was Genesis who gave the best show

I would have to go with Yes' 80's era. I was never a big fan of Phil Collins, but some of Genesis' best albums came from his era. Taking this into consideration, though, I think 90125 was probably one of the best albums released in the 80's and for me, it beats anything Genesis released in that era.

Genesis all the way, I personally enjoy both yes and genesis's 80s period because they got me into the bands classic 70s periods. However, yes 80s period has nothing on phil, mike, and tony lol

80's Genesis vs 80's Yes? Why? Both of these bands were no longer experimenting any longer, but were very well seasoned in churning out the 'rock/pop noodle' that you drop in boiling water and presto it filled the requirement for their contract and punched a saleable product to the market. Go explore Marillion, IQ,  Arena, Pallas and the whole younger Neo Prog movement that at least ventured off-road a bit.

it's just  simple poll, some people like these albums, well, more or less. No one is saying you should listen or something.
I'd rather listen to neo-prog to some albums released by 70s bands in the 80s, too.

Man, Genesis in the 80's became totally another band. It's only a cash machine.
They changed from the best band ever (together with Pink Floyd) to one of the many bands playing some pop music.
Also Yes lost their magic, but still they did something good.

Tough call.  Both bands ventured into poppy territory. I think Yes stayed closer to their roots but really not by much. Genesis had more pop hits. Both bands were pretty commercial and poppy at this point. I don't think Yes became as adult contemporary sounding as Genesis though so my preference is for Yes(even though I like some of the Genesis stuff from that time period too).
