These two bands were definitely not thrown in the towel especially in the case of Yes. drama is an excellent album and they have produced good and great albums since namely 90125 and Magnification

Duke for me... such a splendid album... immaculately produced, stellar songwriting, and Genesis' final masterpiece.  Abacab had too much filler (but what an incredible title track), Genesis was too simplistic (albeit catchy), and Invisible Touch was too uneven (but still half great).  I am definitely not one of those people who think Genesis ended with Hackett's departure, and I own all of their albums (aside from Calling All Stations), but in my opinion Duke is in many respects the last hurrah for the band.  Never again would they release such a complete album statement and in my opinion, it even tops a few of their earlier albums (heresy, I know, but it's my opinion).

I LOVE Duke, excellent album, but it's got a few uninteresting tracks whereas Drama just comes out like one massive Tour de Force and from start to finish has me completely captivated, stunning, with my favourites being 'Machine Messiah', 'Tempus Fugit' and oddly enough, 'Into the Lens'

I chose Duke, one of my favourite Genesis albums. Drama is really good but not even close to Duke, sorry mates

These are in mine and others opinion very good albums by two great bands namely prog giants Yes! and Genesis! These two albums were transitional periods for both bands. They both came out in 1980 and both are fresh sounding albums which gave referance to what came before and gave a nod on what was to come. So i was wondering what you thought of these two great albums?
