Hi,
 
 
I don't think that Marillion and Genesis are anywhere near each other at all ... I actually think that in the beginning, Marillion with Fish actually payed more attention to the lyrics and acting them out, than Genesis, where Peter Gabriel, for all intents and purposes, was more of a story teller, than he was acting them out! The costumes makes you think he's acting them out, but the only place he really acts it all out is the one where he got rid of the costumes ... The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway!
 
IF, and this is my thinking, you think that something sounds like something else, I have this idea that you are not listening to the music at all ... like saying that there is no difference between Beethoven, Brahms and anyone else at the time ... and that's insane and ... sophomoric for most history courses out there.
 
You have to give ALL the work some credit, not discredit Marillion because Fish is not your cup of tea, which would make your liking of Peter Hammill rather strange in my book.
 
 
Complete and essential answer.

Flash was endlessly compared to Yes, and has continued to be with each new reissue of the three Flash albums, but especially for their self-titled debut.  There are good reasons for this - some obvious and well known, some surprising and perhaps not known.  Can anyone tell me what they were?

In 1971, many people listened to this song on the radio and thought they were hearing Yes....

Bi Kyo Ran used to be a Crimson covers band and their own stuff has hallmarks of KC all over it and actually I like them alot.

Wobbler have moments where they sound like ELP, Gryphon, Genesis & VDGG, I also think there is enough originality in their music to still make it valid.

I also saw Porcupine Tree around the time of the Sky Moves Sideways album and had my ear bent for the whole concert by someone who kept moaning that they were a second rate Pink Floyd!  I didn't agree.

I would say they were a Pink Floyd for the 90's, though! And a very good replacement for it, too!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

There are certain sections and passages on Foxtrot and Selling England by The Pound that sound similar to Yes in general.

Ozric Tentacles have spurred a number of clone bands:
RasaSound
Tidal Flood
Quantum Fantay (the "lite" version of Ozrics)
The first two are nearly indistinguishable from the Ozrics, IMHO.

I find in certakn 70s bands from around 70 to 74 to have some Procol Harum DNA in them, in certain songs and emphasis on lyrics and grand-piano use, like early Genesis, Steely Dan,10cc and others Procol runs deep
