David Allen was genius, but the Gong was not the "group" in stricto sensu. So, I vote the Yes.

oh really... how many functioning alt-ID's do you have. I have a good number that I could vote with.. but not THAT many. Gong had to keep this close to have a chance ...perhaps getting a few strategic Floyd votes.. but now.. no way that make that up

I'll have some tea, too.

ummm hmmm. I'll take some! Yeah, it was a good run and they got to knock off Rush and I will have lots of fun teasing my wife about it since they lost because of her vote. Perhaps I've finally made her see the light that post 70's Rush sucks.. and 70's Rush rules even with the worst lyricist prog has ever seen. So bad... it is endearing in perverse kind of way.

Oh!  fiddlesticks! It was good while it lasted though! I was pleasantly surprised as to how much support GonG actually got. Even here up against one of the Biggies, GonG still mangaged a respectable number of votes. Time for a Cup of Tea. Would you like sum tea?

 yeah I suppose so, but since I am a huge fan of both, I had hoped it would be a bit closer. Oh well. Probably for the best, Floyd v. Yes will be a helluva lot better matchup than Floyd v. Gong. btw. Giving sympathy vote for Gong. Now say if it had been Sunday morning and it was tied, and I had to break it? I would have voted for Yes. After 45+ years they are given a pass for being a parody of themselves today. Making 2 of the 5 greatest genre-defining prog albums ever made... and doing them BACK TO BACK is better than any single band here can claim.

I guess you've been hating Anderson's vocals for far too long (for longer than I have known prog, I would guess, at the very least), but perhaps trying to ignore the vocals and focusing on the music would help to come to enjoy Yes music more... and then perhaps you could find Anderson's vocals more tolerable. For my part, I really don't like Gabriel's singing, nor his pseudo comic lyrics, but I really like lot's of Genesis music, so I enjoy it for what it is, and on those songs that I have come to love neither the vocals, nor the lyrics (mostly) annoy me much anymore. |
I tried to ignore Jon for 30 years, but his voice is like a painful whistle in my ears
Gabriel pseudo comic lyrics?
- Fountain of Salmacis - Musical Box - In the Cage - Get 'em Out by Friday - Giant Hogweed - Watcher of the Skies
99.99999% of Gabriel lyrics have no relation with comedy, most are deep, intelligent and coherent.
But, we all have a taste
|
I guess you could add most of The Lamb to the Comedy list... or perhaps not. The storyline is so ambiguous and difficult to follow anyway, and even if the lyrics are not comic, the immages that come to my mind from Gabriel's descriptions just don't please me. As for Gabriel solo, I'm afraid I haven't really gotten into it, so I wouldn't know.

Yes.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.
