man, I am different
I just don't get Genesis. It seems like everyone generally puts Foxtrot up as the pinnacle of Genesis output. I own only one Genesis album - Foxtrot. I don't think it's very good. I don't get it..., what's the attraction? Supper's Ready is perhaps the most overrated epic in prog history, not the best (sorry Ivan). To me, Genesis is a sub-par prog band. They are the next level down from Yes, King Crimson, Floyd, Rush, Gentle Giant, and Oldfield. I know that I'm in an extreme minority here, and will be flamed shortly, but I don't care. I don't get it. I think it's that I'm a ROCKer first, who just happens to prefer prog. I like Guitars! as well as the keyboards. It always seemed to me that Genesis is a keyboard band first, guitar second.
Anyway, if Foxtrot is the pinnacle of Genesis output, then I'm saving my money and buying something else.
