i would classify this a bit differently - there would be the Gabriel period, then the quartet period (ATOTT and W&W) and then the trio years. |
It is my thread. Get it, got it, good

I kind of hate to say it but anyone who votes for anything but the first one(early period)is probably on the wrong website.

I suppose the only Genesis album I really did not feel too keen about was Calling All Stations, gave it a go though. Shows what a fine writer Phil Collins is, even the 80s era Genesis (hated because of what it isn't i.e. the same thing what everyone expects) has many memorable moments. Home By The Sea 1 and 2 is just fine. Anyway the eras should be pre-Hackett, Hackett and Post Hackett just to give the poll a bit more variety. |
Yeah, that Home by the Sea song(s) is really cool. Just about as good (though somewhat different) as the stuff they released in their (prog) prime.

I did like Collins voice much better than Gabriel's, but still I like Gabriel's era albums the better; except for "The Lamb", which I feel kind of lost the magic from the previous 2 or 3 albums (and which was somewhat recovered on the "Hackett" era albums).

Exactly the same. Even if you divided Gabriel and Hackett eras, the Gabriel one would be the clear winner, but the Hackett one may still get some of the votes. |
I like the Hackett albums a lot more. Granted, the Gabriel years have a lot more albums, but then again I kind of extend the Hackett years to Duke even tho he wasn't in half of those albums.

I don't really agree with the options in terms of representing the different stages of genesis. I usually think of it as the Gabriel years, the Hackett years, the trio years, the pop years and calling allstations.

I think the "post Gabriel-Hackett" era would get a lot more votes than we'd expect - though not from me

The early period of course.

A bit of a similar answer as with the Yes poll: I voted "early", but I love Duke and Three Sides Live, and I like the other albums until 1986 as well.

Easily early - Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, even Anthony Phillips, are three of my favorite artists. To hear them in one band, even in the earliest stages of their careers, is an unbridled pleasure.
