| What are the best genesis-like albums and bands that are not by genesis themselves? I like Martigan, K2, The Watch, Big Big Train, and Sounds of Contact. |

Personally, I prefer Genesis any day to 'Genesis-like'.

If you were doing this as a poll, I'd vote for Big Big Train. Three of my new discoveries from this year that may or may not be Gensisie enough for you - Perfert Beings, Dream The Electric Sleep, Anubis...

This. But, I've heard some Neuschwanstein, and they have a very similar sound. |

| Yeah well Genesis aren't recording anymore so we will have to settle with second rate copies unless the original five members of Genesis reunites to record again. |

Obviously, it's difficult to shake the influences of say Genesis or Pink Floyd, but Marillion did it, so I'm optimistic about future bands, but, with this said, I would prefer to listen to Genesis or Pink Floyd rather than some carbon copy.

I like this quite a bit...don't know much about the band but here's the PA link.
Lots of Genesis influence.

Ontologics is a new Prog band, with an unorthodox style and approach to the genre. Gabriel/Genesis influenced for sure. www.ontologicsmusic.com |

Citizen Cain's Somewhere But Yesterday is a masterpiece for me and I don't care if many consider it "just a Gabriel-Genesis clone". Big Big Train are also truly great.

Very early IQ much like a lot of early neo owed a great deal to Genesis. Tales From The Lush Attic = early Genesis The Wake = late seventies Genesis (but with a much darker edge which is why its so brilliant imo) Of modern bands certainly Big Big Train have nailed it although they move seamlessly in and out of the Genesis sound. English Electric could be Genesis in places but on the whole its a decent original work.

I'm not a fan of Marillion's Script (I prefer Fugazi and Clutching), but I'd wager it's one of the first albums people refer to when they think "Genesis-like." ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

| Might be cheating but I'll say Steve Hackett especially "voyage of the acolyte." Also, Anthony Phillips' "the geese and the ghost." Aside from those that are technically Genesis related I'll suggest IQ(pick an album) and "tertio" by Atoll. I'm sure there are plenty of others but I can't think of too many of the top of my head. Just find an album that has the ahhhhh keyboard sound(look for my choir mellotron thread for examples ;) ). |

| Iluvatar's album Children has also clear Genesis-sound influences but in a more Neo style. Good album. |

| Are there any bands that show the classical yet romantic side of Genesis...you know when Anthony Phillips was in the band(I always liked the Musical Box and I heard that the intro was originally written by him)? I also liked some of his solo albums like The Geese and the Ghost. |

I don't really hear the Anthony Phillips genesis classical/ folk influence in any of those songs. All I hear is plain old mid era trick of the tail neo prog in IQ. |

Nice band, definetly Genesis feel to it, The box set "The Complete Recordings" with all material they recorded is great. yet very expensive (only 1000 copy's made) sells currently on Amazon for 85 bucks. I'm not sure it's worth that much as you can buy most IQ albums for that amount. Word to the wise, if such albums are released, pick it up as the value for the physical product could increase, certainly with limited numbers released.  ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |
