Queen or post-Gabriel Genesis?

Why?

That's preposterous. I can see why one wouldn't enjoy Queen's music, but questioning their musical talents is silly. Very few bands would be able to convincingly perform a song like Bohemian Rhapsody. Not to mention that as songwriters, Genesis without Peter Gabriel were vastly inferior to Queen. And I say that despite potentially preferring Trick over any Queen album.

They never threw their talents out the window. But when the songs you write become less complex (a good decision considering disasters like "One for the Vine"), doesn't it make sense to simplify your playing? Instrumental skills are fine and all, but they mean nothing if you don't have good songs.

Now that's just not true.

You're going to stop using anger swear words on this site too - relying on the auto-censor is not an excuse.

I'm just gonna stop. I'm done with this argument. 

And Queen may not've been as good as Genesis, but lacked musical skills and intellect? What the f**k is wrong with you? I know it's you're opinion, but you're making me so f**king mad!

As far as I'm concerned, there was no Genesis post-1976. Genesis' A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering were two albums that Queen WISHED they could have made. They simply lacked the musical skills and intellect.

They did not sell out! They just wanted to make pop! I know it's your opinion and I respect that, but I just want to rip you to f**king shreds!

Queen, no matter Gabriel- or post-Gabriel Genesis.

Queen. Trick of The Tail and W&W are good, but all the other album cannot be compared from Queen.

Queen rules compared to post-Hackett Genesis. But I find Trick and Wind to be very excellent albums and millions times better then any album after that. So if those 2 were not counted Queen, if those 2 were all we were counting, well its close. I didn't vote.
