 Topic: Yes fans vs. Genesis fans
Posted: January 30 2006 at 12:16 |
Recently, with the current overtakings of CTTE by SEBTP, we have seen an increase in mindless reviews with the sole purpose of increasing the ratings on one and decreasing the others.
In my view, this has to end. I propose that both fangroups stop this childlike behavior and solve the matter as Men: arranging a meeting in a field and battle to death.
Any weapons are allowed, from sharpened vynils and sawed guitar necks to Rick Wakeman or Phil Collins solo records.
With a bit a luck, the population in both fangroups with decrease considerably, thus allowing Dark Side of the Moon and Thick as a Brick to run for first spot calmly and in a gentlemenly fashion.

I agree. This shouldn't be a competition. And regardless of who's ahead in the polls, it isn't going to change how people feel about their favorite groups. So there's no point in screwing with the ratings and reviews.
But I have to disagree with the wish to have Dark Side and Brick run for first place. That doesn't seem to reflect the general opinion of the prog. community...

There is no need for any violent solutions. The fans of both Yes and Genesis simply have to sit down and build a new, lasting peace on the foundations of the most important thing their favourite bands have in common - the fact that King Crimson pwns them both  .

well. I guess I'll be suiting up for Genesis. Beware Yes fans. 
Tis a shame too, when we Yes and Genesis fans should be uniting under a common banner to repulse those barbaric hordes of DT fans.
JOKING before you people bite my head off.

Shhh... too late, you've said it. Both teams will think you're a traitor. Right before the battle they'll ritually sacrifice you to the Queen of Maybe's Merchandise and to the Total Mass Retain .

Dont let the word get out you might get the vast legions of the Empire Floyd involved. You all seem to forget the most popular prog band and the best.

Comrades,
See the things from another point: this competition means that prog is ALIVE! No battle is required!!
The progger of the world has nothing to lose, but their sounds; PROGGERS of the world unite.

EDIT: WTF... I've argued for my favorite band a billion times! It's fun! HAR HAR HAR!

If the Yes, Genesis, Rush, DT, Floyd and Tull fans all have epic battles and destroy each other Magma might reach the top 10 yet!

Genesis vs. Yes? How comes? I scarcely remember two or three Genesis fans not liking Yes too... and the same on the other direction. And what about poor Bill Bruford? He played with Genesis. Should Yes fans kill him? And now I come to it, should both sides slain Hackett and Howe for their side project called GTR? Let politicians plan wars... we've got music instead. And we're very lucky.

Here, Here! Nothing against DT, but they ain't in the same league as Yes & Genesis IMO.
