I don't want to be derailing Batty's thread, but you're throwing down the gauntlet here. It's incredibly, and I mean incredibly, ignorant to say the only redeeming feature in Genesis's music is that it's technical. Idgaf how technical it is or isn't; I don't play. 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??
