Shamal Vs Wind And Wuthering

Both great.

Fair enough Svetonio, though I can't see Wind & Wuthering losing to any album really...

`Wind and Wuthering' is one of my favourite Genesis albums, so it gets the vote over Gong. As for `Shamal', despite having some terrific moments, I much prefer the Gong albums before it (Radio Gnome Trilogy) and right after it (Gazeuse, Expresso 2, etc).

I also find `Shamal' has some of the worst and most inane rhyming lyrics, I would have much preferred if the album had been totally instrumental. It loses several points for that from me!

If it was A Trick of the Tail, I would doubt, because not a fan of such a calmed transitional album, but W&W is the best GENESIS album since Gabriel left (Except Your Own Special Way).

I'd like to know the story behind MJ liking Shamal if that wasn't just a joke.  Two really good albums but I am missing any correlation.  Shamal perhaps could have benefited from more polishing.  Blasphemy for some but I still prefer non Allen Gong. Of course Gong with Daevid and Gilli are also a lot of fun in my book.  The double W for me.

Shamal for being more consistant.

I could live without both, but I must admit I voted for Genesis this time. Gong lost it's soul completely on Shamal.
