I like both of these album. I picked Genesis, but by a thin margin. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Both uneven with a few great highlights, but I find A Song For All Seasons above average and And Then there Were Three slightly below average.

Yes, you're right. Renaissance wins easily against Genesis every time for me, including in the 1980's.

I only asked if it's an easy poll/choice or not. I also want to see who's gonna vote "both" and "neither".

I'll go for both, as both were the first to incorporate more commercial songs while still being excellent albums. ------------- This message was brought to you by a proud supporter of the Deep State. |

ASAF is a very strong album, ATTWT is OKish. |

Indeed, well put. This is my take too... ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

Eh.... ATTWT is one of my least favorite Genesis albums. I do like it, but it's overlong, doesn't have the imagination of the previous two, nor the immediacy and energy of the next two. But then A Song For All Seasons.... I can put that record on and not remember a melody of what happened afterwards. I do like it, but compared to Scheherazade? I guess I'll go Genesis, since I like Genesis better overall, and it does have their first pop hit which I do enjoy. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :) |

Both are fine albums, indeed. ------------- "PROG IS MY FERRARI". Jem Godfrey (Frost*) |

For me Genesis is an easy choice. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

For me, the under appreciated ATTW3 takes it by a wide margin

Renaissance. That Genesis' album is ugly. ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. |

A Song For All Seasons is a lovely album. ATTWT is distinctly average. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Wow, look at all the dunks on ...ATTWT.  Let me remind y'all of these utterly fantastic songs. Just because Gabriel and Hackett aren't there doesn't mean it's not a kick-booty record. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

| neither for me. Both bands were past their best by the time they recorded these lps, in my view. I haven’t heard either since the time of their release and nothing has made me wish to revisit them. Just my opinion though |

| Easy poll for me. I don't like the Genesis whereas I think this Renaissance is one of their best. |

| Renaissance. I have really gone off ATTWT over the years, whereas my appreciation for Renaissance as a group have increased. |

arguably Renaissance' best album, certainly their boldest up to that point. Easy choice for me. I did a series of polls like this a few years ago pitting ASFAS against albums by the big 6 or so and it won against almost all of them except Heavy Horses I believe.

Because of the duds on ATTWT, it's Renaissance. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |
