Two great albums that I always considered similarly compelling and mysterious, so which of these two do the fellow forum users prefer? I bet there will be very few, if not even no 'I dislike both votes', while casting my vote for Genesis' sophomore studio album.   |

| I heard the material from The Yes Album on Yessongs first so when I finally heard the album I found it slightly disappointing. Trespass, on the other hand, is sublime and probably my second favourite after 'Selling England' |

The Yes Album vs Nursery Cryme would be fairer. Yes were fully formed on The Yes Album whereas Genesis would need one more album to perfect their sound. ------------- The Prog Corner |

I consider Trespass a little masterpiece, one of the best albums by Genesis. I consider the Yes Album a good album, but not a great album. So, Trespass. ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide.

| I really can’t choose. Genesis is my fav band so whenever I hear any PG-era Genesis I get a big smile on my face. And this album was very important for prog. But so was TYA and it was in fact, in my opinion, even better in terms of genius compositions. Both we’re huge steps for respective band and made a huge impact on the prog scene. So I had to take the easy way out: love both equally |

The Yes Album --Yes comes into its own with Howe---need only one more great guy--and will peak when Rick joins. Tresspass --Genesis are not complete--they need 2 great guys: Hackett and Collins. Voted The Yes album

Yes. The Genesis album sees the band not yet reaching their potential, whereas with The Yes Album, the band is already there. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

This isn't even my favorite Yes album (far from it), but Genesis weren't quite there yet. Despite the classics like The Knife, the rest of the album can't compete with Yes' prowess here IMHO. Two must-haves! ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

This is very much like my experience. The songs on The Yes Album are great, but the thin production detracts. The live Yessongs version have so much more energy to them. The remastered version is an improvement, but the issue remains with the original recordings. This is why I too have voted for Trespass. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

^Yes. Thank you for assuming what my feelings are despite being incorrect. If I really wanted to make a poll with a lot of engagement, I suppose I'd just have to make another Yes/Genesis poll. Silly me.

I suppose. "Begging" is a bit strong for what I was going for. But hey, what can ya do when it's over text as opposed to speech? Anyway, I guess for every poll about over-discussed groups on the forums, there's a person complaining about over-discussed groups on the forum. This time, it was me hehe.

I need to pay a lot more attention to Trespass but Genesis have so many great albums it's hard! The Yes Album is a massively important album only very slightly 'spoilt' by The Clap. I think I prefer the studio version of Yours Is No Disgrace to future live versions. Tony Kaye is so good on that. Starship Trooper is also an undoubted classic. Yes were already hitting their stride but it needed a stellar keyboard player to take this them to the next level. That said Kaye's organ work on here is as good an anyone inc Emerson and Wakeman.

The Yes Album was the first Yes album I bought (on cassette!) back in the early 80s. I loved it then and I love it now. Trespass I have only fairly recently begun to enjoy but I'm enjoying it immensely. Why Stagnation doesn't get mentioned with the other great Genesis songs, I'll never understand. Hard for me to vote. I think I have to go with both equally ------------- We all dwell in an amber subdomain, amber subdomain, amber subdomain. My face IS a maserati |

The Yes Album, by far. With the exception of the whimsical "A Venture", it's an album of fully-formed timeless masterpieces. Trespass is the work of some very talented amateurs with a lot of promise. I like "Stagnation", "Dusk", and the Anthony Phillips guitar solo on "The Knife". The rest I can take or leave.
