I prefer VdGG's work - I love every song from that album. ------------- Would you catch the final words of mine? Would you catch my words??? |

| Both very good early Prog works with each band still reaching for their own sound, something that I really like. But in the end, it has to be my favorite Genesis album the one I'll vote. |

Trespass has superior melodies and I love its prog folk leanings.

I concur with your statement! Trespass underated by people thinking they were still raw. They entered with a bang! If you don't think that Gabriel, Banks, Rutherford, Mayhew and especially Phillips weren't on top of their game when they wrote and recorded this then. I'll put The Knife and Stagnation up against nearly all else with just a few exceptions. ------------- Well, there it is. (Amadeus) |

| Hmm. The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other has Darkness. Trespass has Stagnation. I'll go with Least. |

As much as I like trespass (and I do) TLWCDIWTEO is an excellent release. Even if they are both both stars The least...has the stronger 4 star rating.

Trespass has nothing that can compete with Refugees. Least is a really great album. Trespass' sound bothers me sometimes, but it's still good. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

Trespass was my first experience with Gabriel´s Genesis and I consider it as absolutely amazing album up to this day. On the other hand, Van Der Graaf Generator had never caught me, beyond a couple of exceptions. Too complicated music, too much lyrics for me.
So. easy choice. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |

Trespass is a very good album with material that worked brilliantly on stage. Genesis used this first serious album as a platform for their later genius.
The Least We Can Do... VDGG's first serious album was already a work of genius. Refugees is one of the greatest songs ever written.

| I'll go with The Least we can do, I love all VdGG albums to death. Trespass is o.k. I'd choose any other album from the Peter Gabriel era any day. |

Trespass surely. My first experience with Gabriel´s Genesis. Amazing album.

| Trespass 100%. This album is very important album in Prog history (IMO). The knife format used in many of Prog songs until today. Trespass is a real "Refrence" album. |

I love both, but VdGG is by fav my favorit band i listen to em much much more, then Genesis, and The least have superior sound and songs, even tough as i said Trespass allso is very good, i whuld say they are on the same level and made in the same year and by 2 very young bands, but VdGG have the edge for me. -------------

Both bands are two of my absolute favorites and both of these albums really capture some nice moods and visuals. I have to go with Trespass though. For me, Trespass is a solid album straight through whereas The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other has only three really strong tracks (Darkness11/11, White Hammer and After The Flood). The Least We Can Do was my introduction to VDGG and will always have a special place in my heart though! Oh, Trespass has a better cover too. -------------

Refugees isn't a really strong track?? IMO in Trespass there is no a song that could be compared with Refugees... ------------- Would you catch the final words of mine? Would you catch my words??? |
