Genesis Poll

Note to self, Keep secret purpose of poll to oneself. Let opinion of polled prove self right.
Note to youself - save youself time & effort. Say YOUSELF think Phil era sucks. Find out some agree with youself. Find out some disagree with youself. Find out mostus don't need pitiful &  failed attempt at cleverness to distinguish poll from polemic. Please take time sometime to think. Take breath, Oxygen to brain essential. Open-mindedness to admitting opinion only as being O.K. . You need travel road to enlightenment. Light on, home empty, hee hee. Buy bulb. Not vowel, not consonent. Incandescent or fluorescent not of importance. Make sure match wattage. haa haa.

From genesis to revelation

I think FGTR is a funny album, very kitsch even now... My vote goes for Genesis era... Most of the songs are totally a waste but it has some decent gems in all those poppish albums...

I've always loved the debut! Beautiful album!!

The debut sucks ! Even the band members have disowned as being their attempt at being Pop songwriters as guided by the almighty record company. 

The debut is not that bad

not voting because I dislike both

it seems to me that time spent trying to squeeze enjoyment out of a band's lesser works could be better used listening to the best albums of less well-known bands. I suppose I'll have to suffer and never again experience the filler works of maestro collins and axe lord rabin, and so forth etc

Abacab and onwards is much better than their debut. The debut is good and all but the pop songs top it by far IMO. I think it isn't comparable. I'm not a Gabriel sellout though I prefer his era by far.

And I'm really sick of people saying it's all Phil's fault... It was a team effort.

First off don't just jump on the bandwagon and scream sellout about Phil because they went in another musical direction.  They don't owe you anything.  If anything, you should be praising, Phil, Tony, and Mike because of the music they contributed to this world.  Who do you think you are to judge a great musician like Phil and turn on him like that.  I voted for Abacab and on because even though I prefer their earlier stuff, there were definitely shining moments on all these albums.  Abacab is almost all good.  Mama album has its first side.  Invisible Touch has Land of Confusion, Tonight, Tonight, Tonight, Domino, and The Brazilian.  We Can't Dance has Jesus He Knows Me, Driving the Last Spike, Dreaming While You Sleep, and Fading Lights.  Those are my favorites off the post-Duke albums.

silly poll really......Abacab onwards is 5 studio albums, FGTR is one, although it is beautiful all the same, Abacab is a great album ( crucify me), Genesis - Mama is a GREAT album ( crucify me some more) , IT is AWFUL and WCD is mixed as is CAS. So if you had to take just the best from those five studio albums v the debut I would settle for all of them really, blessed to be part of the Genesis eras!!!!
