Listen to it again. They may have had radio friendly song lengths, but it's very different from other pop of the time. It's not like any of their other music, but it is also not without its charm. Take it for what it is. I think it is a very likable album.

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...

Good description, IMO it's a nice, naive album done by a bunch of high school kids produced by a couple years older kid.
 
But the beauty is uin that innocense, IMO The Silent Sun fopr example is a song that deserved much more recognition, but naming an album "From Genesis to the Revelation" with no artistic name on it, lead this good LP to the Christian music section of the stores in a time when young people was less willing to accept they were religious than today.

Not sure, I would not say Genesis post Abacab is without merit. I can find half an album of material I like on all of those albums. I like FGTR, but not all of it. So Abacab onwards it is....

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.
