why undeserved?When I think of pompous bands, these guys are the very first on my list. It don't get more undeservedly pompous in my book.
Because they have no reason to be pompous. They suck.why undeserved?
well I think they deserve the pompous label by the time Mr Roboto rolled around - like you I prefer the earlier stuff - Equinox was the pinnacle for me - awesome album - particularly when the riff kicks in in SMB - whohoo - makes me wanna rock out! - my parents old stereo was maxed out with this riff!Because they have no reason to be pompous. They suck.
Slightly harsh but mostly true. IMHO, of course.
I do have an affinity for Suite Madam Blue, a couple of tunes off G. Illusion and Lady,
But by the time they got to Pieces Of Eight I started calling them Stynx.
He's trying to be a Slipperman...I love Genesis <= Duke, and love the vibe in this concert but I just can't stomach watching Phil Collins walking around with no shirt pompously thinking fans will automatically like it - perhaps should be forgiven since he's also drumming, but good grief put on something to cover up those pits when ya come out front eh!
I consider this a pretty ripe steaming slice of pompousness....
Well I suppose you could say the same about all the Queen stuff really as they were big into that at the time. I'm not sure I would agree that BR was a masterpiece in any regard though, just a nonsense load of different instrument sections with stupid lyrics. A load of rubbish masquerading as some kind of masterpiece perhaps.Like it as a song or not, you have to admit Bohemian Rhapsody is a masterpiece of recording and music production, especially considering the technology with which it was done.
I was talking music.. but since you posted that image, I wouldn't call that pompous I would call that being a show off!
Someone needs to start a Go Fund Me and get Phil a shirt.
+1 He dropped few steamy ones for sure:
I think that this serious expression and attitude complies with the Cambridge definition of Pompous
"I deliberately don't listen to anyone's music at all. I don't listen to it, especially when I'm in composing mode, which is actually pretty much all the time, because every time I pick up the guitar, or even when I don't have the guitar in my hands, I compose. And I don't like to be even inadvertently influenced by anything, so I certainly don't care about what's in or what's trendy, I never did."
Strange...I can't see this one, not even through VPN

Neil Peart's 40 year span of lyrics covers the gamut from epic to comic and everything in between. Your generalization is just plain silly.RUSH has pompous lyrics
