Yes And Genesis influenced music

HI, This is sad ... all you can do is compare yourself to a couple of behemoths ... and hope that folks will give your material a listen. I can understand influences and inspiration ... but in the end, this is about YOU not the influence or the inspiration and any idea of the previous folks would be mired, mostly, in the ears of the listeners. With all the love and respect, I won't listen to this ... I like people that are not afraid to get up, do their poem, do their music, do their novel ... and not worry about an audience, that you think will like what you do because it has some sounding parts that are reminiscent of the old guard. If you want to make a mark in the music, the old guard has to go. Plain and simple. I don't have to ask you to go start studying art history (music, literature and painting) in order to learn something about being YOURSELF, and a lot less of somebody else. Even being subjected to religious themes and idea as the Renaissance was, would not be as bad ... in my book, specially at the time, though today this would be laughed at so hard and ignored. The very best of luck. I know how hard it is to even get one person to listen, and the other post about three Argentinian bands has been completely ignored by the folks at PA ... sadly enough, to give you an idea. BTW, both of you ... welcome to the board.

Wow dude, rather brutal. Just because they want people to know the influences of their music and what their music may sound like... Really? These are young guys making music of a particular genre. That genre is EXTREMELY wide currently. I was drawn into their post by their description... it may stink, it may not. But having listened, I'm pretty much on their fanwagon. So ease up man, and leave the door open to youngsters who are just starting out and getting into it....

"With all the love and respect"

It is true that the sound of the first Genesis is present, those guitars that Anthony Phillips invented, so pastoral, and Hackett would later elevate them to their maximum plenitude. But when it changes and speeds up I noticed Yes influences, even more so when the singing section began.
