Unfortunately yeah. I still love them after that but you're right.. they were never quite the same again.

No sh*t, gentlemen. Hackett leaving the group during the mixing of Seconds Out accounted for your magical realization.

A Trick of The Tail all the way.
A lot of memorable moments for me; the other never clicked with me.

Neither is great. Both are very good, but Trick is just that bit better. |
agreed, I very rarely listen to them anymore. When I do , it's generally the one-two punch of Entangled and Squonk

The "weaker" moments on Wind & Wuthering are my favorite parts. It showed that the band weren't afraid to try new things while retaining the progressive nature of the music.
And what else needs to be said of A Trick Of The Tail. It's pure perfection.
So yeah, both for me!!!

Banks and Collins got their way? Rutherford was the first one to not want to do long songs anymore, if you watch videos of him talking about old albums, he is the one bashing the most. You'd think it would be Collins, but it's not. Tony complains more than Phil as well.
YOSW was written by Rutherford. |
Yeah you're right in a way. After all who wrote Your Own Special Way, Reason I picked w&W was for side two. i always listen to Spot The Pigeon after W& W. Got a blue vinyl copy.

Both. Maybe not passionately, but two really good albums.

Wind and Wuthering, but this is a rather close call.

Two of my favourite Genesis albums, but ATOTT gets the vote.
There are some extreme high points on WAW; Eleveth Earl of Mar, One for the Vine, Blood on the Rooftops, unquiet slumbers/In that quiet earth, and some bad lows; YOSW and Wot Gorilla, and some toe curling sillyness; All in a Mouses Night. It's a fantastic production job though, and Banks and Hackett make excellent contributions.

I voted for both. I love Entangled, Los Endos, Mad Man Moon and Ripples. I despise Robbery, Assault and Battery. I love Eleventh Earl of Mar, One for the Vine, Blood on the Rooftops, and Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers...In that Quiet Earth. I despise Afterglow and don't much like All in a Mouse's Night.

Wind and Wuthering for me. They both have lot's of songs I don't care about, and would have made a great album if combined. A Trick of the Tale has mostly several great pop songs, but from Wind and Wuthering, "One for the Vine" must be the best song this line-up did, and the one I could consider slightly comparable to the classic era. Besides, I do love the combo "Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers in that quiet Earth", which I consider the best Genesis instrumental. And Afterglow, though also pretty much pop, I do like a lot too (for me, the best pop song this line-up did).

Geez this is a blowout. I expected it to be much closer.. I have no problem with Your Own Special Way whatsoever and am disappointed that more people don't love that album as much as I do.
btw I voted 'I can't choose I'm just.. I'm too passionate about BOTH!' cause that's how I feel. Both albums are fantastic imo.

Trick. Definitely one of the best sounding Genesis albums.
