I'm a Foxtrot. Best news all I've had day. It's quite good, makes me seem a bit goody-two-boots but ... Supper is ready...Bowdown

You are generally lost in a time long gone (oh yes). Honor, valor, and dignity are the things that you value (um. well... actually...). Chivalry is not dead, it will come back someday (Ya think?). It brings sorrow to you when humanity destroys the environment. (Sorrow? Ok that will do for now, but we are on track). You wish to go back to another time, when people loved honor more than life itself. (Banzai?) Anything that is a trend, current, leaves you feeling cynical (Nail on head....). You believe that humanity will find a way to control their evolution (Kobaia). You sympathise with people that fell from leadership, and it is quite likely that royalty and rulers fascinate you. (Assassinations were a child hood interest). To you, good will always triumph over evil, in the most epic of ways (oh good, I'm an optimist epic will do fine).

Fun game. Cheers Slartibartfast.

WTF?

I came out as Wind and Wuthering, for reasons I simply cannot imagine.

I'm much more Trespass or Selling England as far as the moods of the album go.

Instinctively I would say Foxtrot - a mix of science, politics and history bound together by an absurd imagination.

The quiz landed me with Trespass but I don't recognize myself at all in the description it gives (except the bit about not liking violence!!!!).

The Lamb is my favourite Genesis album BTW.

That's actually pretty good, although I don't think the past was so great. That's one of the cooler quizzes ever though.
I got Foxtrot too.  I guess that's kinda me.

Your mind is a deep well of imagination and intense emotions. Whenever you are faced with a setback, you try to think rationally about things, despite the fact your emotions might gnaw away at you. You have a fiery personality, and people look up to you. Even though people look up to you, deep down you are very shy and don't like to have the limelight. You are fine with half-hiding."

Defintely some of that I can see!
yup

Why not the 1973 live album which is pretty damn fab by my reckoning?

I got the Lamb which is actually kinda spot on, even if I don't get stressed very often at all anymore (but when I do, its nuts)

You are on a journey to finding your identity and place in this world. In times of stress, you become very anxious. The surreal fascinates you and you like to explore the inner worlds within people’s minds. Behind the tough exterior and barrier you put between yourself and others is a person that feels vulnerable. Humanity in an urban setting appears careless to you and you much prefer people that are honest. Family is ultimately important to you, for you stand up for them and you are particularly close with a sibling. Sometimes, when you are pushed to the edge, you tend to take stress out on yourself.

Well, no '80's Genesis, but also no And Then There Were Threes, wonder if the poll designer even made that one an option...
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Trespass. Great album, but the one-size-fits-all psychobable "horoscope" nonsense that quiz puked up in response is a load of tosh.
What?

Of course they are, especially with the questions they ask. But still!

I got Nursery Cryme. Challenging society is what you are all about. One of your deepest desires is to break free from social norms. You dislike having your passions restrained, especially when it comes to romance. It is likely that in your life people you loved, especially friends, have passed on or moved on in their lives, and you miss them terribly. To escape your sorrows, you relish in humor, and the more ridiculous it is the better. You have a generally cynical attitude towards life; you do not think that your elders are considering you. Sometimes in moments of despair you can go to extreme measures, wishing yourself away, and people have misunderstood you because of your actions. Fate is something you strongly believe in.
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.

Honestly, I thought you were drunk when you made this poll. You had two albums spelled wrong and the OP made no sense.LOL

Even the way it was I felt like voting for ATOTT. After the quiz I became ATOTT.

Just Great! and funny of course, thanks

I'm Wind & Wuthering, and it's ok. One of the top 5 Genesis albums for me (with SEBP, Foxtrot, A trick and Shapes), but for today is the one I listen more. Dark, romantic, with many stories, melancholic, epic, and with One for the vine, and Afterglow.

The fact that we even take the poll shows we are nuts. What did you expect, an I Ching reading?

Foxtrot, incidentally, my favorite Genesis album.

You are generally lost in a time long gone. Honor, valor, and dignity are the things that you value. Chivalry is not dead, it will come back someday. It brings sorrow to you when humanity destroys the environment. You wish to go back to another time, when people loved honor more than life itself.

A more accurate edit would exclude the second half of the third sentence, the fourth sentence, and last sentence, and the second to last sentence would have the same sentiment but at a milder capacity
