Genesis - The Knife. I actually thought this was going to be about the Strawbs album, Deep Cuts. ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie. The truth is always waiting when there's nothing left to try. - Colin Henson, Jade Warrior (Now) |

| ELP way ahead of the weakest track on Trespass - plus the fact Genesis wrote the track as a tribute to 'The Nice' - geddit? |

Genesis gets the nod. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

I concur with Flight123. The rest of the album maintains a singular and ethereal, if somewhat unremarkable, atmosphere, which the Knife utterly betrays. Genesis' later discography rendered The Knife basically pointless (The Return of the Giant Hogweed is a significantly improved version of the same basic ideas). So this is one of the few times I'll vote ELP over Genesis.

As a single, I think The Knife shines! I'd usually skip over it in the album, and listen to it by itself later. I can't get enough of the screams (about mid-way through the song), and the short part afterward.

I really like both of these tracks, but I voted for ELP since Knife-Edge gets the distinction of being one of the few ELP songs that I actually enjoy a lot. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

ELP!!!! The Genesis track is nice...more of curiousity freakshow piece... showing they had some semblance of testicles in that group.. but when it comes to hard and heavy prog... pfff.. ELP smoke them. One of Greg Lake's vocal masterpieces btw... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I do enjoy The Knife very much (voted for it), specially the live version, while I really can't stand Return of the Giant Hogweed, which shows exactly the kind of things I really dislike from Genesis (along with Get 'em out by Fryday, Harold the Barrel, Battle of Epping Forest). |

hmmm.... normally I'd vote for anything ELP did over almost anything Genesis did. The usual reasons, better musicians, better songs, simply more interesting in general. Except that there were actually a few handful of things Genesis did were actually interesting. Just for freakshow value going with Genesis on this one.. you know.. two headed, cock AND pussy kind of freakshow stuff... Genesis having balls.. I'll give them my vote though the songs are pretty much even in overall ass kickery.. you expect it with ELP.. it is a novelty with the normal limp dicked and soporific Genesis.. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

ELP.....that first album is their best imho and that Genesis track always sounded a bit forced to me. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |
