For the fun of it, vote and discuss.
Explain especially if you choose the "other" option.

Other. I like the music of Genesis, but not enough to consider myself a fan. I only listen to the albums up until 1977, but that is not a rule, just the way things are. I prefer Gabriel-era Genesis, though in a recent topic, I put a Collins-era track in second place after Supper's Ready. However, it was the only Collins-era track I listed in the Top 5.

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.

For me anything Genesis has done has been special I like most up to 77 but theres songs after that which I really like as well, how much I would like genesis since they have announced a reunion
and doing some gigs https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/mar/04/prog-rock-stars-genesis-to-announce-reunion to release a new album.Edited by Enchant X - March 07 2020 at 06:13 |

Have to choose also other. I like every other album except Calling All Stations. Used to hate "Invisible Touch"-song, but already then liked quite much for example "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", "Land Of Confusion", "Domino" and "the Brazilian" from that album. And if "Invisible" now comes from the radio, I don´t change the channel (today it doesn´t come too often).
But the era I really love is Peter´s era. Like quite much also that first pop album. Edited by Mortte - March 07 2020 at 06:14 |

voted 2nd option
Like: I listen from Nurcery to Lamb 99% of my genesis time
A few revisits of Trick and Trespass. Don’t dislike neither From Genesis nor other later albums (at least up to Invisibil) but to little time for those and they will mainly turn up on a random playlist, and yes that includes Wind & W. |

I only listen to the albums up until 1977, although I'll be listening to all of Genesis' albums soon when it comes time to give them a star rating.

voted I'm a fanboy lol--which is sort of true as I have always found Banks songs on all the albums interesting to my ears even if I don't like all the album by the three. But mostly I listen to the music up to 1977 and I listen often.

I'd like to say that I listen until Duke and Shapes' A-side but in practicality I never go beyond Seconds Out.

Peter Gabriel era is the best, but I can enjoy anything up to the point that Hackett left. After that I'm not very interested.

Other:
I'm not a Genesis fan. I have a conflicting relationship with Genesis. I have great respect for their work, and I consider them damn serious, competent and... middle-class prog. I consider Gabriel the genius of the group, and the acoustic parts with Gabriel-Hackett the most engaging emotional. I consider Banks a very good instrumentalist but with a musical sensibility as a bureaucrat, and I don't remember any of his solos that made me enjoy like a hedgehog. In general, it is not a band that is characterized by solos and actually who seems to me most technically gifted and capable of spectacular games on his instrument is Phil Collins. I consider their discography from Trespass to A Trick of a Tail very good, but his level is not one of the higher. The records I consider best are Trespass, the only one without weaknesses, and The Lamb, that is, those that deviate from their standard prog. Trespass is a little jewel, the only one I can say I got great pleasure to listen to it from the beginning to the end... Because with Trespass the pleasure touch the heart: it's the most melodic album: I feell emotions with it, instead the other albums produce more pleasure to the brain. Nursery Crime in my opinion is a minor work, instead Foxtrot and Selling England by the pound are ambitious operas but they dont reach the peaks of other groups because they have some weak songs. In particular, A-side of Foxtrot is not so great and B-side of Selling England is weak. Their best sequence are the firsts three songs of Selling (Trespass sequence is close), in particular, the first and the third: they are exceptional, a touch of genius and so, when I listened to them for the first time I was excited, but with the fourth song my humour went down... and the level quality of the second side is really modest. Foxtrot and Close to the End, in my opinion, are ambitious works, without big falls and very well-groomed, they respect all the patterns of prog (such for which they are, how to say?, The common ground within which the various genres of the prog move) but they lack the ingenious flick, they are very elaborate and sometimes sophistication hides a scarcity of immediate melodic inspiration. After A Trick of the Tail I consider their albums very modest. Ok, my opinions.

After Steve Hackett left, I gradually lost interest in Genesis, I mostly listen to their albums until Duke.

Genesis are not my favourite band, and I agree with jamesbaldwin that all their albums have some low points (except Live from 1973, that one is clearly masterpiece material except of course it's not the original source of the songs). I do prefer their Gabriel era material, but I can find some good stuff up to Abacab, so I belong to the "picky" category. After Abacab it's over though.

I lost interest around Wind & Wuthering in '77 but love it or loathe it, (not really my bag y'all) their subsequent 80's Pop output was as good as anything served up by the likes of Aha, Human League, the Police, Bowie, Tears for Fears, Simple Minds, Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, Toto, Queen et al. For the world's leafiest English suburbia 1st Gen Prog band to make that sort of transition so seamlessly and successfully beggars belief. That said, I still think Phil's a massive c*nt.

First, I LOVE ALL of Genesis.
My favorite era, though, is: Trick of the Tail Wind & Wuthering Spot The Pigeon And Then There Were Three I always say I like these because this is before Conny Plank told Phil he was a soul singer. After this era, I gravitate to the Banks songs preferably. Also, I'm a big fan of: Rutherford's Smallcreeps Day Banks' A Curious Feeling Something about that mid-late 70's era I like. Might be the David Hentschel production.
