Why is this album on most prog rock recommendation lists?
Prog rock is probably my favorite genre, and I've heard a decent amount of it, so I was pretty excited to listen to this, but it was very unremarkable. Is it on the "essentials" lists because of historical significance? Or because it's a good bridge between classic rock listeners to get into prog rock? Because based on the merits of the music, it's not that great.
Evan Gonzalez
Are you trying to cheat me? It's a great album.
Dominic Murphy
Lamb Lies Down is better
Samuel Torres
Yeah I am confused. Its a great album. It has lots of Prog influence. IMO, its one of Genesis' strongest albums.
Grayson Ward
Firth of Filth is a top 5 prog song of all time
Christian Sanchez
Compared to what? I mean, off the top of my head, Yes, Rush, and King Crimson are all better entry level prog rock.
I'm not saying it's bad, but I'm not seeing how it's essential.
Anthony Walker
Recommendation lists are starting points to guide self-exploration. The album would be there for reasons beyond its musical quality.
Jason Nelson
Fair enough, I expected as much. Like I said, it wasn't bad, just kind of unremarkable compared to other prog rock I've listened to.
Nathaniel Howard
How is it possible that the best potential replacement vocalist for Genesis was within the band from the beginning? Talk about coincidence.
Blake Stewart
give up judging music user, seriously. You can still enjoy or dislike whatever the fuck you want but don't make threads anymore
Isaac Thompson
Seems like you think your taste is objectively good or something. You've got a lot of growing up to, buddy.
Michael Cox
said the pot to the kettle
Asher Morris
Fuck you
Ethan Jones
I'm literally listening to the album right now, and I'm just thinking about how so many bands have done similar things but better. I have no idea what's supposed to be so good about this album.
I was honestly hoping someone to could convince me to like this album, because I had high hopes for it.
Landon Reed
ok big boy
Kayden Butler
I think the strongest song on that Album is "Dancing with the moonlit knight" It has a very good tune and one of my favorite songs.
Sebastian Sanders
>I was honestly hoping someone to could convince me to like this album
literally how; if you don't like it it's fine, never understand this meme of "oh I don't get it but it must be good", what the fuck people, did you ever really changed your mind about an album and started to like it because someone "explained" it to you?
Xavier Morales
Yeah that's probably my favorite song on the album. The Battle of Epping Forest is pretty fun, too.
I'll listen to Lamb Lies Down later to give Genesis another chance.
Christian Rogers
No one's ever changed my mind, but sometimes I like to hear how other people describe how the music makes them feel, or what they like about it. Sometimes it lets me appreciate the music a little more.
Gabriel Wood
just listen to The Lamb user its better.
Ethan Smith
Yeah I suggest you do that. Some of the people here are real cockbites
