I love both albums but slightly more Trespass. And consenquently an initial vote goes to that great Genesis' masterpiece of English Symphonic rock. Please vote. |

Trespass, although none of its tracks keeps par with Man-erg. -------------

VDGG, by light years. Trespass is a wonderful album, and holds an important position in Genesis (and hence Progressive Rock) history. But Pawn Hearts was a monumental, more uncompromising achievement, sounding just as weird and difficult today as it did over 40 years ago... ------------- "we can change the world without anyone noticing the difference" - Franco Falsini |

If they offer a release that strips Hammill's voice from the recording, I would say VdGG; unfortunately, that is not the case, so Trespass. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Both awesome releases, I will go with trespass because of the influence it had on me at the time. |

Pawn Hearts is much more powerful and devastatingly emotional, but obviously I'll have to go for Trespass. It just suits my taste perfectly. Also, I was surprised how intricate and well-written Trespass was, but really the opposite for Pawn Hearts. There are so few interesting chord progressions, but they manage to pull it off. Anyway, love em both but Genesis + Anthony Phillips > all other music

Perfection of total chaos vs. a mostly peaceful, pastoral record that has some gaps in it, as much as I love the pastoral peace on Trespass. Voted for the former. I don't want to be one wave in the wat-te-e-e-er!!!

| Trespass absolutely. One the "Progressive Rock Roots" albums IMO. |

My view except that they'd have to strip the sax out as well. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

If Tresspass is prog roots, then Pawn Hearts are fully grown prog leaves & flowers. ------------- This night wounds time. |

I like Trespass, it's great- but Pawn Hearts is on a whole other level. The atmosphere on it is just so brilliantly put together. Plus Hammill's singing is just a knife in the heart. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Trespass for me.......as much as I like VDGG music I could never really warm up to Hammill's voice. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Genesis, Trespass.------------- 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. |

Trespass is a lovely album showing how much potential the band had. Pawn Hearts is an album that shows a band reaching its potential,

Pawn Hearts, but it's not a fair comparison. Pawn Hearts is VdGG fully realized (at least at that juncture) and that album is an acknowledged classic (even this month it made the cut in Classic Rock Magazine's article on the 250 albums "you need to own" (along with a nice separate 6 page article on Hammill/VdGG), and habitually makes the cut in similar lists, etc. Trespass is Genesis just starting to find its feet. A fairer poll would have been Pawn Hearts vs Foxtrot, or Trespass vs The Least. On the other hand, if you just like one band and not the other, it probably doesn't matter. (There is no Genesis album I'd rather hear over any VdGG album, so I get it if the reverse is true for someone else) ------------- jc |

Overall about equal for me, although there is nothing on Trespass that's on a par with Man ERG imo. That is a mindblowing track and one of their best. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

There are not many albums who beat Pawn Hearts and Trespass is not one of the few! |
