Both bands are equally brilliant in my book.

This is a tough one for me.  I can't decide.  Big fan of both

So, Genesis has a really low 5 star album, and Yes has a really high 4 star album. Fragile is 'close to the edge' of Sellig England, but not close enough to count. Genesis gets the win, but I don't adore either group.

Life's too short, Genesis and Yes both produced 5 star albums and have influenced me a lot but theres so much more music to discover I shall not be wasting my time deciding which of these 2 Dinosaurs was better.
What's all this, then! Well, the number 2 should have been written as a word, and there was no need to capitalize the "d" in "Dinosaurs." Other than that, your response was in itself a waste of time. The correct answer? Both bands were colossal at the time of their greatest achievements (early to mid-70s) and can't be matched up for a showdown as to who was best. Carry on.

Such a difficult choice. Awaken and Supper's Ready are two of my favorite songs. I think I prefer Genesis, just barely though.

The interesting thing about this poll that it actually asks us to decide between musicianship and artistry. If the band was called 'Geniyes' that might be an ideal.

Yes has been spotty, but every Genesis album has been superb. Even the poppy stuff.

So I vote Genesis. Wink

I find Genesis's melodies stronger, that's why my vote goes for them.

I really like YES but I don't like any album as much as "Selling England..." or any song as much as "Supper's Ready".
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

King Lear had no trouble choosing between his children. Let's hope it turns out better for our PA members.
