Genesis.
For some reason, VDGG didn't really appeal to me....

I am getting to love VDGG's music - but not Peter Hamill's voice, which spoils everything they do. Genesis have a much better singer and I love Hackett's guitar playing. |

Sooner or later you'll probably get into Hammill, if you plan to listen some more to VdGG. I had some troubles myself, especially on the second generation albums. He's my favorite vocalist now. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

Genesis anyday. Much more interesting and diverse IMO. "Supper's Ready" > "Pleague of Lighthouse Keepers" too.

I voted VdGG because each album I own of theirs (all but Still Life and Present) are very very good. While Genesis has the Cryme through Wind and Wuthering with a few really crappy albums, definitely not as solid a carreer as VdGG ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

hahahah.... man...what's with all the polls.... but since I still hold
the presidency of the local 'get a life' club.... I'll bite... Genesis.... far more consistant than VdGG... though the high points of VdGG rival anything Genesis ever did. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Both, equaly. No vote from me this time. Plus, the contrast between both bands is something to cheerish, since, being from that very specific years, the music work took them very far away from each other. While Genesis got a lot of semi - clones, I havent heard of any VDGG wanna be... strange... ------------- ĦBeware of the Bee! |

VdGG for me, because they are far more adventurous than Genesis. Plus Genesis were no longer Genesis after Hackett had left. Genesis is one of the most copied bands in prog though. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |
