Pretty self-explanatory. I vote for Henry Cow and related. Incidentally, I did a poll before that highlights some of the Henry Cow related albums/projects: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47202&KW=Greaves&PID=2795986#2795986 - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47202 Please, if you are inclined to, mention some of your favourite related projects. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act |

| I'll be honest, I don't know too many Genesis related projects other than solo efforts and Mike+the Mechanics, but for anyone that knows me this is obviously no contest in any way. Henry Cow by light years: we have Art Bears, News from Babel, Aksak Maboul, (ec) Nudes/Pale Nudes, Science Group, Cassiber, and all the solo efforts of Frith, Hodgkinson, Cooper, et. al., and I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. |

Yeah, there is so much fantastic music that Henry Cow members have been involved with and of course it's a very easy vote for me as i love Henry Cow and related. I was waking up still when I made this poll and wish I'd done it differently. I'll do a related kind of one. I wish I'd done Soft Machine and related rather than Genesis and related.

| totally different music. Henry Cow by a very long way, but again, its a matter of musical taste |

Genesis was of course a great band, but they can be overrated. In exchange Henry Cow can be underrated, but his musicianship has IMO much more deepness and relevance than Genesis. The time will show, I think. Just hear the related: Chris Cutler, John Greaves, Tim Hodgkinson, Lindsay Cooper, Fred Frith and their projects. |

Good God, how can you prefer a decent but unexceptional band like Henry Cow to a bunch of geniuses like Genesis??? I just don't get it. Hackett alone has made more amazing music than all the members of Henry Cow put together. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

| Not enormously familiar with the Cow, but Genesis have spawned two of my favourite solo artists (and I'm OK with Collins, too... a Banks album on order), and produced a number of amazing albums. Leg End was too abstract for my liking so I stopped there. |

And people tend to forget about Brand X and GTR.  I went with Genesis on Gabriel's body of work alone. |

Genesis related projects!
Gabriel solo, Hackett solo, Brand X, and Anthony Phillips. That some pretty solid work right there. -------------

I could easily swap HC for Genesis in the above and ask the same thing... |

I love Genesis and related etc. but to put down Tim Hodgkinson like this, to dismiss his brilliant work, I don't get it. I won't vote though, I enjoy both and don't feel a need to choose one over the other. ------------- http://hangingsounds.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - Hanging Sounds http://www.progarchives.com/ProgRockShopping.asp" rel="nofollow - PA Index of prog music vendors |
