What if the Residents were Genesis in disguise?

What if the band that released albums after And Then There Were Three was actually a wedding band currently playing all the hits at the Ramada Inn in Des Moines, Iowa?

You heard about the rumor saying that the Residents were the Beatles in disguise, right?

An interesting question, it really depends on how you define "proggy". I'd say Genesis is more prog while the Residents are more progressive, if that makes sense. Can't vote in the poll anyway, I'm probably to new.

Wrong. This was said of another band. Hint: The Residents were occupants of interplanetary craft.

Sorry Jean, although I appreciate the breadth of your musical experience, I personally am uninterested in listening to random noise spread out over 39 minutes. I will say the last composition on the album "The Festival of Death" at least has some coherence and is relatable to the indigenous music it strives to imitate.

it is not random noise at all; every single sound has a meaning and there is coherence everywhere. you should read the stories associated with the tracks while listening to the music

The Residents, easily. Genesis only played Symphonic Prog and then became a pop band. Every Residents's album is different. In that sense, Residents is proggier than Genesis.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

BTW, if you are unfamiliar with The Residents during the Molly Harvey era, I highly recommend Animal Lover...

The extent of Genesis' experimentalism is undervalued.

I've only listened to "Eskimo" once, and it didn't appeal to me in the way that "Not Available", "Duck Stab", or even "Diskomo" appealed to me. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

The Residents, because they never went pop.

While I most definitely support having The Residents in PA (and have put it under the spectrum), I generally would not use the word Prog to describe The Residents. Experimental, it can be progressive... I would call classic 70s era Genesis Prog.
Seems a bit too lopsided for me. Setting my brain to randomise setting 11 (a very wacky setting), I will choose between these two as most Prog: Well whad'ya Know?, The Residents win this time. Who would'a thunk? |

Genesis are the proggiest for sure. The Residents still got my vote, as I responded to the Genesis vs The Residents-title without reading the Poll Question.
