Some of us are still waiting for Genesis to hit their quality streak *smiley face* (it is no longer safe to go to the emoticon screen with that awful, seizure inducing headbanger in there)

I personally think Genesis hit their real quality streak once they released 'Invisible Touch'

It's all just numbers, and it is indeed based on how popular different bands are. The clue's in the title, really. And as for the "better" wording, I thought it was obviously tongue-in-cheek but it seems to be genuinely angering some people. Confused

Scored only 23 points and was finished off by Camel vs Gentle Giant.  Would have never guessed that: "Camel is 2 times better than Gentle Giant"

Only 34.4% which doesn't bother me, it's not a competition
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not my beloved Hawkwind! BOC are not even close! Who works these things out just becasue BOC are so mainstream does not mean they are better than iconic legends Hawkwind.

^ That was quite fun Henry -- got 46.7%, whatever that means. Samuel J Hoffman boosted my score somewhat, though the occasional Queen track gave it a hammering. LOL

...sounds about right, I'd lose some credibilty as a Crossover ex-spurt with a higher score Wink
