This thread has been on so many derailments that we've got more tracks than Amtrak. It is still vaguely on topic though.

I listen to it for the melodies, the lyrics and the way it all goes together. You may not like it but that's subjective and you can't just dismiss it because you don't like it. Only I may do that.
Seriously, that's a terribly close-minded view, would you not agree? Most of Genesis fans are unlikely to be musicians, so do you think they listen for the technical aspects of the music??

Their music is pretty complex but it bores the hell out of me. That's why I consider their music in the way I described since technicality is all that they have going for them. I'm not going to call you close minded for what you said about my music (and mean it), since clearly we have different kinks.
