The two double albums by IQ. I think these are their only ones.

Just curious what you think of the lamb lies down on broadway. Did that bore you too? To me it's kind of like a modern version of Lamb.

Subterranea... saw the live show at Bury Met back in 1998; really stunning.  I like Resistance, but it sags a bit in places.  

I wonder what reaction you'd have got if you'd included the Road Of Bones SE 2CD set? Some interesting stuff on there...

The Lamb is my favorite Genesis album, maybe Subterranea needs another listen, but the first time i heard it I nearly turned it off. It all sounded too similar. I'll give in another listen this week.

I agree that Road of Bones could potentially be included, and would garner a lot of votes, but it isn’t really a double album…..

Subterranea gets my vote, Resistance is STILL a real letdown!

Yeah, I didn't even think of adding it even though I have the two cd version myself.

It's now accepted that Road Of Bones is a double album. The second CD was originally a special 'bonus' edition but fans jumped all over that and didn't bother with the single CD version. Does anyone even own the single CD version?
I voted Resistance. Subterranea is probably Nicholls at his whiniest (before the sublime Seventh House showed him at his most mature). I saw them play the whole thing live in London back in the day but a barely rehearsed encore of The Last Human Gateway was the most memorable thing about the show.

That probably says more about your mind than the album, I suspect.

Subterranea is their best album and Resistance one of their worst (though they've never made a bad album).
I try listening to it, but the feeling always is "I could be listening to Dark Matter, or Ever or The Wake.....", and i take it off and put something else by them on.
It just doesn't really do it for me. Mind you, if it had been by a lot of other bands, I might rate it higher, but IQ have set the bar extremely high and I judge them harshly.

I actually slightly prefer the second CD on The Road of Bones, though they're both pretty brilliant.

I added your vote for Resistance, which is the album I would've voted for too. Thumbs Up

Subterranea, though Resistance has grown on me over the years.

As much as I've tried, I have never being able to get into IQ's music. I know they are a good band and they're good musicians, for for some inexplicable reason, I've never have gotten into their ride.
