And WTF means welcome to Facebook.Wink

But there are two issues with the remarks concerning Rush and Genesis.

One is an opinion - he hates Genesis.

But saying one is "better" than the other is a judgment not an opinion. Like and dislike is one thing, anyone and everyone does this, but a statement of competence (how is one better  than the other) can be challenged. I know within the bounds of normal bog standard communication (like between Sex Pistols fans) then any old rubbish gets passed off as "understood". But progarchives IMHO is "better" though ... more likeable?

The two means of expression often get confused. The first is a belief and is no more or less than that, the other could be actionable.

e.g. Imagine if someone were to compare you to another person. I don't like you, Joe is much better than you... does this mean Joe is more likeable; is that what is really meant? Or better at doing the job? Just because some one is likeable does not make them better just... likeable to someone.

I once read a joke about that LOL thing. The mom was texting her daughter that her aunt (or whomever) had died, and then writes her "LOL", wantig to mean "Lot's of Love".

GENESIS. But Rush is a great band and I like their music. I choose Genesis easily but I afraid this poll affect to other guys opinions. 
And one important thing :
We are here to talk about music and our opinions about music NOT talk about other members. Unfortunately some guys attack to opposite opinions without musical reasons and they make a personal discussion. Please guys don't judge others that have opposite opinions!!

It's the trick question bit that inspires apparently near off topic improvisational discourse.

What does "proggier" mean, I wonder.

Maybe I'm reading you wrong, but isn't this poll asking which band you prefer?
I guess you're saying the 'proggier' a band is the better the music is? That doesn't make sense to me, but then again I never saw prog as a stamp of quality.
I take it you prefer Henry Cow over Genesis then?
