well damn...I should have known that.. lord knows that is my favorite epitaph for Genesis and have pretty much owned it for years here as the perfect description of that group..

Since it looks like the vocabulary police are already on patrol... I believe you mean "epithet". Wink

On an unrelated note, it's pretty funny having all these old threads get resurrected and seeing just how much (or little) tastes change over time. When I pulled this one open and saw the mere measly 7 votes for Fragile I almost said out loud "how the hell did you people vote that Camel album above Fragile?!?", then I sort of figured "Oh, maybe back in the day I decided to vote for Gentle Giant instead..." Then I went back to my original post...

Of these I'll cast the inaugural vote for Moonmadness.

Oh well.

But then there have been other old polls I've pulled open in the past week where there's been 15-20 albums listed out and I've thought "oh man, X album is totally my first choice, then Y, followed by Z..." and so on down the line, only to find out that I posted a comment on page 1 back in February 2016 ranking the options in the exact same order! LOL

when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents

Er...it's soporific.....no 'h'......... you can do better. ;)

for me Aqualung, Foxtrot, and Fragile are all too close to call.

One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Moonmadness

New album!

Aqualung

Foxtrot was a signifying statement of a newly organized group's sophomore effort. Moonmadness, though, excelled in every phase of the songwriting for an already well-established unit. Hate to vote against the former but am rather fond of the latter. Call it moon madness.

"It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno

For once I can pass up Yes or Tull. In this case the vote must go to Moonmadness.

The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Fragile easily for me.

Pawn Hearts. Simply the greatest album ever.

Tough to argue...Pawn Hearts never gets old no matter how many dozens of times I've listened and gets my vote too Wink

I gave it to Aqualung. Foxtrot doesn't need my help.

Ditto.
