I should have taken this moldy old poll more seriously, sorry. Let's go with prefer. |

^agreeing absolutely, Beatles can´t be said ever overrated. And it´s not just prog, many great albums would have sounded much different (I believe poorer) without Beatles.

Oh no brother. Without them there really wouldn't be any Prog

I always take consistency into account in these matters. Genesis at their best was better than The Beatles at their best. But I lost interest in Genesis after Peter Gabriel left, even though the band became much more popular among GenPop when Collins was on lead vocals. The Beatles put out quality albums (to varying degrees, but nevertheless) for their entire career.

^ I believe I posted this at a time when another member was posting polls with strange planetary names in the title. As it doesn't make since now I'll change it.

Beatles......................no hesitation.
Ok...going to play that old trump card again, but who can say how much Genesis and other bands were influenced by what the Beatles did...? There's no question at all that things would have been far different musically since many of these bands have openly said they were heavily influenced by the Beatles sounds. If that's the case then the Genesis we hear and love today and in the past would not have existed in quite the same manner.
btw..the poll does not mention prefer or like or anything..it just says Andromeda poll...Beatles vs Genesis....perhaps Steve can clarify his intentions...? ;)

The Beatles place in music history is immense - but thankfully this is a poll for which one is preferred - in which case Genesis is way ahead!
