Yes by far over Genesis.
Genesis has some good songs, but Yes has great albums.
Phil was a great drummer at one time, but otherwise, most of Genesis' output - even before they went pop - doesn't come close to Yes.  Or King Crimson.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Is the correct answer Geneyes?


Not a really fair choice. It's like choosing between 2 of your children.

King Lear had no trouble choosing between his children. Let's hope it turns out better for our PA members.

The 'Genes of Isis' have a long history but I say yes to 'Yes' but why the sun?

I find Genesis's melodies stronger, that's why my vote goes for them.

I really like YES but I don't like any album as much as "Selling England..." or any song as much as "Supper's Ready".

Yes has been spotty, but every Genesis album has been superb. Even the poppy stuff.

So I vote Genesis. Wink

Well Genesis are better. No Yes are better

Nope.

Life's too short, Genesis and Yes both produced 5 star albums and have influenced me a lot but theres so much more music to discover I shall not be wasting my time deciding which of these 2 Dinosaurs was better.

The interesting thing about this poll that it actually asks us to decide between musicianship and artistry. If the band was called 'Geniyes' that might be an ideal.

Such a difficult choice. Awaken and Supper's Ready are two of my favorite songs. I think I prefer Genesis, just barely though.

What's all this, then! Well, the number 2 should have been written as a word, and there was no need to capitalize the "d" in "Dinosaurs." Other than that, your response was in itself a waste of time. The correct answer? Both bands were colossal at the time of their greatest achievements (early to mid-70s) and can't be matched up for a showdown as to who was best. Carry on.

So, Genesis has a really low 5 star album, and Yes has a really high 4 star album. Fragile is 'close to the edge' of Sellig England, but not close enough to count. Genesis gets the win, but I don't adore either group.
