Genesis... One of the most over rated bands of all time.
Genesis is my personal favorite band since I first bought The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway when it was first released. By the time there were only three original members they got a little too “pop” for me, but I consider them one of the all around greatest prog rock bands.
But art is subjective. My wife’s not a fan.
For me, if you look up “over rated band” in the dictionary, you should find a picture of the Rolling Stones. :D
Post 1979 yes. Pre 1979 Genesis was the most underrated bands of all time.
“Genesis... One of the most over rated bands of all time.”
They had their moments. Phil was touted as a significant drummer in the Rock genré. I don’t necessarily disagree, but for the 3 or 4 Genesis tunes that effervesced to the top they got some significant airplay...
I did think that Peter Gabriel who split off from Genesis early was more musically appealing.
When Peter Gabriel was lead singer for Genesis, they were phenomenal. The instrumentals were amazing. After Phil Collins moved to lead vocals, their writing went pop. I only like the Peter Gabriel era Genesis.
