YES PLEASE!!

I really dont understand the Genesis enfactuation. I dont think they come close to the mastery of Yes.

GENESIS

When it comes to YES, I only appreciate the albums of their classic period (1971 - 1978), while I can enjoy all albums by GENESIS - even their less interesting ones (FGTR and WCD). 

I have always thought that YES' music is a bit too dry and clinical compared to GENESIS' music which has more of the ingredients I like in good prog, that is eccentricity, humour, darkness, madness etc.

Ooh this is divisive....my personal favourite? Yes; also I consider them the definitive/default choice prog band. The more succesful? Genesis I imagine.

Although I voted Yes I can understand completely Mategra's comments ^

None, but if I had to choose, Genesis (Yes must sound like a TORTURE in Hell, done by SATAN himself), because individually it's a good band (I like most members solo careers).

And above all, is punk

Yes.

Even though both have their crappy ears (ie- the 80s), 80s Yes is more tolerable than 80s Genesis, IMO. Yes's 90's material was better too. Genesis took a dive down and never regained; they just kept getting worse. Yes took a dive as well, but it wasn't as bad and they regained some ground in the 90s and 00's.
