Here's the thing: for some reason, I don't fell compelled to play Genesis albums. But when I finally do, I enjoy a lot. I recognize the quality and the beauty of Genesis, but there is something about it that bugs me, a something not recognize at this moment.

Well Vibrationbaby... "...hate is a little too strong. " - Probably so "Who doesn`t care for this band and why? " - Never cared for them in the past or present...Don't know exactly or precisely why. All I can say is, something's missin' "...recently there have been quite a few Genesis topics being posted" - Just recently ? Seems like regularly... "I never really liked anything by them except..." - Me neither...with no exceptions. "I just want to hear hard in your face honest Genesis bashing here..." - Well, I'm not necessarily prepared to level any 16in. guns at 'em right now. I recently met a guy here in Utah who sells Progressive music online (maybe you've been to his site = http://synphonic.8m.com/) I went to his house to buy CD's - ANYWAY... I explain to the guy that I don't care for Genesis... He freaked out...he was mildly agitated at me: "You don't like Genesis, what's the matter with you...every proghead has to like Genesis..."

Well, I guess hate is a little too strong. Who doesn`t care for this
band and why? I`ve noticed that recently there have been quite a few
Genesis topics being posted. I never really liked anything by them
except LLDOB. Although I have the early stuff I never really listened
to it that much. They were just too drab and couldn`t rock it out until
Gabriel took over the band for that one album. Comparing their 70`s
show with that of bands like Hawkwind, Grobschnitt , Hoelderlin
or Omega,a Genesis show is like going to a funeral. Nobody did anything
except Gabriel. I never saw the real Genesis in concert but I saw
a cover band called The Musical Box do Selling England by the Pound and
a few other earlier tracks from Foxtrot and was with an older friend
who had seen the actual Genesis in the early seventies a few times and
said that it was almost like the real McCoy. An Irish folk-rock band
called FRUUP would frequently open for them on UK dates and why it
wasn`t the other way around beats the hell out of me. Another thing
that I don`t get is the Early Genesis/Fish era Marillion comparisons.
They have absolutely NOTHING to do with one another. Fish was angry as
hell and Gabriel was in fantasy land. If you absolutely love this band
please refrain from responding to this post. I just want to hear hard
in your face honest Genesis bashing here.
