"Hmm, i listen to so much different stuff:

Finally someone else mentioned Genesis. Damn god, does no one else see their pure genius. Well, okay, their genius left when Gabriel left, but The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is one of the best albums ever made. EVER!!!!!!!!!

 

[IOfTheStorm]

err many like Genesis ...but if we had to name every single band we like then .......
someone mentioned the Tea Party YAY these guys rule so much, ""the edges of twilight" is one of the best 90s album.

 

[PlatypusJesus]

I didn't name every band that I like either, but come on. It's GENESIS!!!!!!

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Genesis had very good albums, with one masterpiece...so for me its not "come on its GENESIS!!!"

 

[PlatypusJesus]

Yes, but their masterpiece is the masterpiece to end all other masterpieces. So, come on, it's Genesis.
