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

I escaped the 80s by ignoring it. Compact discs were out and I replaced my albums and then started buying up folk, jazz and blues releases, and rock albums I missed the first time around from the 60s and 70s.

Illegal Alien was a great song.. yeah it isn't the Mona Lisa of music.. but it was a fun pop song and few were as good at that as Genesis. Perhaps I am the odd one here.. but I'd rather hear good pop than boring prog.

Genesis made some great songs in the 80's, even if they did some awful stuff like Ilegal Alien, Paperlate and all that. The Brazilian, Domino, Home by the Sea, Mama, Duchess, etc. are great songs.

But as far as prog bands going pop goes, Gentle Giant's "Giant for a Day" easily beats both for me.

I have never seen a choice that I cared less about, once you take Drama out of the equation.  I like Drama.  Otherwise meh.

interesting..

Drama= Duke... Yes's 3rd best album against Genesis's best... yeah.. Yes was a better group.. so technically a draw.

Abacab = 90125  both great albums

shapes... rules over Big Generator...

so giving it to Genesis... Yes was on the decline.. while Genesis was at their best.

For me, Duke is above them all, really good album, I find the odd good moment on Drama, 90125, Abacap, and I can easily do without all that follow from them both.

Union was released in 1991. Geek

Yes wins here for me.
Drama, 90125 and Big Generator are much better than anything Genesis did in the 80s.
Duke is great but Drama was much better (I like it more that is)

Abacab, Genesis and Invisible Touch are so uneven, I love some songs surely; but I can listen to 90125 and Big Generator without skipping any song.
