It's absolutely idiotic to contend Zep weren't A-listers in the 1970s.

Clapton. Went from ballsy bluesy hard rock to limp dick shit like Wonderful Tonight. And most of the songs weren't even good, the man was just poor at songwriting.

Yeah, after 461 he really lost his way. Slowhand is a good record but WT 🤮. I don't blame him for his 80s records, Phil Collins was busy ruining everything that decade.

Came here to make that joke. And from the last couple of years it looks like Jason (Jackie) has regrets about losing them.

Guess I'm one of the few here who likes 80's Phil Collins and Genesis. It might not be ballsy, but it's great polished pop. I actually grew up loving No Jacket Required and Invisible Touch.

Great albums!

Who was the pretentious dork who started that Genesis poll that excluded "Invisible Touch" because they hated anything fun and there was no way "true" Genesis fanbois would vote for it?

Then most of the replies wrote in "Invisible Touch" and it won.

I’m just weird like that. I think anything with 80’s-style synth is great. Different strokes for different folks, you know.

Facts. Philip Bailey was too talented for him to fuck up.

There's an argument to be made for them, if only you based it on that trio of nearly identical, shit awful ballads from Get a Grip. (It would have been excusable if they'd stopped at "Cryin'", but they had to go and add the other two render the rest of the album sackless.)

Pump did have "What it Takes", but that happened to be a decent song.

They managed to redeem themselves a little with Nine Lives, it has to be said, but then they went and completely shit the bed with everything that came after.

Jump & I'll Wait were the first indication that VH were going down the synth-heavy road, no matter who the singer was. I prefer Roth-Halen by far but the idea that Sam showed up and ruined the classic VH sound singlehandedly is laughable.

W.A.S.P. and Mötley Crüe after the PMRC got on them certainly would qualify.

Are you referring to WASPs Inside the Electric Circus as the one being neutered by the PMRC? The one with lyrics like "My emotions cummin down... ALL ACROSS YOUR FACE! Im gonna shoot it BANG BOOM shoot it from the hip"
