Although "Trespass" isn't my favorite Genesis album (Seeling England by the Pound), nor Banished Bridge is my favorite Novalis album (NOVALIS "Novalis") . Tresspas gets my vote !

Probably Novalis have more albums that are better than Banished Bridge than Genesis have that are better than Trespass. And then Genesis is a top 6 band, so it's hardly a balanced poll. As much as I love that Novalis come up, I can't vote for them here. Banished Bridge is OKish, not great (although I would probably have voted for it at the age of 16 as Novalis are local heroes from my hometown).
By the way, I agree on Biereichel's drumming, but I think he was pretty important for the band as a person and because of his record label connection (I forgot for which label he worked).

apples and oranges? aren't they both symphonic prog?

boring drummer? I did not find him boring at all.

John Mayhew is on Trespass. Many complain about him as well. I don't know why, but anyway...

John Mayhew is not the most interesting drummer either, but he still is better than Hartwig Biereichel.

As to "Apples and Oranges": Novalis may be listed under Symphonic, but "Banished Bridge" is in my opinion a typical Krautrock album.

I bought Banished Bridge 20-odd years ago and it lasted not more than a couple of weeks in my collection. Latter Novalis albums are pretty awesome..

I initially thought of Genesis - SEbyP because it's from 1973, when Novalis' album came out but it would not be a fair poll I guess. 

So Trespass is like a Genesis prog debut, so that's why I chose it. 

Vote and discuss...
