I debated putting this in the metal thread, but since the band in question has a long pop legacy, and even the music I'm about to discuss is arguably not metal, I chose to write here.

I just discovered the band Genesis. Omfg! I'm not talking about the 80s stuff like Invisible Touch, or In Too Deep (which I grew up on, and actually enjoy). I'm talking about the 70s stuff, in particular two albums I've just heard today: Selling England by the Pound, and A Trick of the Tail. Unbelievable progressive rock music. I'm a huge prog metal fan, and kept hearing bands I love talk about Genesis as one of their influences, including Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, and Opeth. I kept dismissing the mention though, because what I knew of Genesis was only the 80s material. Horrendous mistake on my part.

I'm not sure how to describe this, but lets just say after listening to four songs, they have the potential of becoming my favorite band. Here are those four songs: Firth of Fifth, Entangled, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight, and Mad Man Moon.

Here's the YouTube link to Entangled: http://youtube.com/watch?v=inblUMTHm...eature=related

..so beautiful...

edit: they're not kidding when they say "they just don't make music like they used to anymore."
