its not that i hate it, i just dont like their style. it seems way to, welll, lets say lanky and open for me, and thats also probly whjy im not the biggest gentle giant fan or vdgg fan. i personally dont like almost alll genisus cd's exept for selling englad by the pund, the albums like foxtrot seem to have no high point, or "super lovely moment" it seems to be the same,"tone" throughout the whole song as suppers ready, not the same beat or rythem, it just feels the same, i am guessing thats whjy so many people like them. its good althe way through, too you guys, not to me! i just dont like them and i dont think they are that good.

Let me see if I get you:

Foxtrot has no high point and it's an album of just one tone? Supper's Ready neither?

1. Watcher of the Skies: Dark, baroque, agressive
2. Time Table: Soft, lyrical, narrative and a bit melancholic.
3. Get 'Em Out by Friday: Full of changes, from dramatic, to sarcasttic, passing by many different atmospheres.
4. Can-Utility and the Coastliners: Has more changes than most bands in a whole album, with brilliant instrumental solos and intelligent lyrics.
5. Horizons: An acoustic track, nothing remotely similar in the whole album
6. Supper''s Ready: Well, this is a joke, SEVEN  different songs with SEVEN different moods and tones that go from a melodic and soft Lover's Leap to the most dramatic ending with As Sure as Eggs is Eggs, passing by the frenetic Apocalypse in 9/8 and the sarcastic relief in Willosw Farm.

Please listen the album carefully before saying this kind of things, if you don't have valid arguments, just say you don't like Genesis, it's better because at the end it's your taste and nobody can say anything about your taste, but don't give absurd arguments.

I love Genesis.

The best symphonic rock band, till Hackett (not Gabriel) leave the band.

Won't waste more time at this thread because I love a good discussion when somebody offers ideas or arguments I don't agree with but in this case I read:

• Foxtrot, Trespass and SEBTP suck (Nobody has explained why)
• Supper's Ready has only one tone (This is absurd)
• Genesis is the worst band ever (Sorry but this is stupid)

With this lack of arguments it's impossible to discuss, if you dare to say any band is the worst ever you need a hell of strong arguments to justify such a strong opinion, if youdon't have those arguments better don't give this kind of opinions.

So, if you don't like them, say it, there's no trouble with that, and say it loud if you want, it's your taste and you need no arguments for taste, I don't like most of King Crimson for example; but it would be absolutely moronic to say they suck or are the worst band ever just because I don't like them.

So keep on with that if you want, if somebody has an intelligent argument, I will be there to debate.

Everyones entitled to their opinions.

Even if their opinions reveal them to have no taste at all..!!

I love Genesis. Their music is superb and unique. They are the best song writers in prog IMO. Tony Banks is one the greatest song writers and rock keyboard players of all time. His chord progressions are unusual and highly effective, he can play melodies that make grown men weep instantly. Phil Collins is one of the greatest fusion drummers I have heard. His style and sound worked perfectly with Genesis. Hacket is a brilliant melodic guitarist, with a unique style and sound, Peter Gabriel was a great showman, an unmistakable singer and a complete freak, making Bowie look like Cliff Richard.

Their music is very kind to the ears. 

I dont have any bands that I hate, but of all the prog I'm aware of King Crimson is probably among my least favourite, as so much of their stuff sounds like noisey experimentation for the sake of it to me. Not enough focus on actually writing good songs. IMO...
