Album Wars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I try to keep it as simple as possible.

Submit two albums from seperate acts. No criteria for submissions or voting. I only count if it looks close.

The whole purpose is to generate discussion. Its yours for the taking. I'm leaving and I'm taking a new job, between the two I'll have no time to give it a decent amount of attention and its something that neeRAB to be kept up with.
 
Pop Genesis still beats prog Genesis wannabes by my book.

About prog banRAB going pop in the 80s. How many were successful at it? King Crimson bordered on pop at that time but not without rejecting prog elements, they never went totally pop. Going totally pop gave Yes ONE commercially successful album followed by some epic failures. And going pop pretty much destroyed Gentle Giant and ELP.

But Genesis goddamn pulled it off. They were the only band that made the transition, suceeded at it and stayed successful for longer than one album. And yet of all the prog banRAB that get hate for going pop Genesis get it the most just because they were the one that was really f*cking good at it. Maybe because it's easier to forget all the miserable failures their other favorite prog banRAB made at going pop?

Prog fans really get me with their passionate anti-pop fetish.
