Genesis songs rating 1970-1977

Afterglow is a masterpiece, Blood on the Rooftops is merely good, Entangled is average, The Waiting Room is bad? I disagree with all of these. And others.

Yes, the time frame is key here..... I had a quick review and reckon about 70% of what followed would fit into F! However, even I'd admit some tracks would still get into A and B - despite my distaste for Genesis-Lite.

Nice one - I can't argue too much with your choices, the only one that doesn't fit for me is Entangled, which is wonderful and at least B and probably an A.

Entangled and Chamber Of 32 Doors are among my absolute favourite Genesis tracks...just goes to show how differently we hear music

This is correct...I wouldn't bother with any album where I was forced to press SKIP for most of the tracks...😎

If you were a songwriter, a painter or a writer, seeing your material exposed like that, sometimes, hurts, and it tends to create a safe mechanism that is overseeing the next project and it will hurt its flow and creativity. I see that it is all but a preference, but if we are going to elevate this whole thing past "just another song", our constructive criticism and ideas need to do a lot better. All we're showing is that we're just kids naming our favorite lollipop and candy bar! This is PROGRESSIVE music ... not top ten ... and you don't go around rating Mozart concertos ... !!! The day you do, I'll take your exercise a bit more seriously, although I disagree with stuff from TLLDOB rated so low, in such a fabulous album and work, that should have been made into a film ... not be wasted on a rock audience that doesn't like artistic works!
