I admit, that this is just a thread to find out songs from the post Gabriel era Genesis that are actually good. I have the 1st two lps after Gabriel left and I like Trick of a Tail very much while Wind and Wuthering has its moments, but is considerably weaker IMO. I guess I want to know what songs outside of these two lps are good.

Post-Hackett (ie., Trick of the Tail, Wind & Wuthering), the only songs I care for are Undertow and Guide Vocal.

Duke's Travels. Second Home by the Sea. The instrumental part of ABACAB. Naminanu. Not much else, and I'm grading on a curve. None of them are really spectacular by the band's prior standards. Maybe if Mama came on the radio, I might leave the station alone for a little while. An odd song that one is.

I remember Mama. I remember liking it back in the day. Just listened to it. I still like it. It has a quasi neo progressive feel.

Trick is probably my favourite Genesis album and Duke has some very strong material. 

I'm guessing this thread will get moved to top ten lists so

1. Dance On A Volcano
2. Duke's Travels/End
3. Mad Man Moon
4. Deep In The Motherlode
5. One For The Vine
6. Dodo/Lurker
7. Domino
8. Home By The Sea
9. Fading Lights
10.The Lady Lies

I enjoy all of Trick, Wind, and And Then There Were Three. For the others, my favorites are. 

Duke:

Duchess, Heathaze, Cul-De-Sac, and... hm, Evidence of Autumn.

Abacab:

Abacab, No Reply At All, Me And Sarah Jane, Keep It Dark, Dodo/Lurker... the rest is iffy, but the album as a whole I like. Closest to new wave Genesis ever got.

Genesis:

Mama, That's All, Home By The Sea, Silver Rainbow... Taking It All Too Hard

Invisible Touch:

Tonight Tonight Tonight, Domino, In Too Deep, The Brazilian

We Can't Dance:

No Son of Mine, Jesus He Knows Me, I Can't Dance, Fading Lights

Sorry... Calling All Stations doesn't do anything for me.

I think I'm the rare case that prefers post-Hackett to post-gabriel. I'd say all their post-gabriel albums up through the s/t are pretty good. My favorite tracks being something like:

Dodo
Mama
Me and Sarah Jane
Entangled
Behind the Lines

I enjoy all of A Trick Of The Tail, Wind And Wuthering, the Spot The Pigeon EP, And Then There Were Three (including B sides), Duke (including B sides), Abacab and Genesis.
 
From Invisible Touch I like "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", "Domino" and from The B-sides "Feeding The Fire" and "Do The Neurotic".
 
From We Can't Dance I like "No Son Of Mine", "Hold On My Heart", "Dreaming While You Sleep" and "Fading Lights".
 
From Calling All Stations I like the title track and "Congo".

I think the post-Gabriel albums with Hackett are about as good as the albums with PG.

Some of my favourites with Hackett:

Dance on a Volcano
Mad Man Moon
11th Earl of Mar
Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers... / In That Quiet Earth

Post-Hackett:

Down and Out
Duke's Travels/Duke's End
Dodo/Lurker
2nd Home by the Sea
Domino

I'm certainly in the minorty but I like most of the post Gabriel output. Not as much as the things with Gabriel but it's good pop-music although that's not exactly my favorite genre.

The things you should check out are probably (not counting the stuff with Hacket expect the Archive songs):
...And then there were 3 (is it just me that thinks that the sound quality is very wishy washy?): Follow you, follow me; Snowbound (most definatly); Burning Rope; Scenes from a Night's Dream; The Lady Lies
-Duke: The Duke Suite (Behind the Lines; Duchess; Duke's Travels; Duke's End)
-Abacab: Abacab
-Genesis: Mama; That's All; Home by the Sea; Second Home by the Sea
-Invisble Touch: I'd say everything but for the progressive touch go for: Domino (Medley) and The Brazilian
-We Can't Dance: I Can't Dance; Driving the Last Spike; Dreaming while you sleep; Fading distant Lights
-Archives #2: The Day the Light went out; It's Yourself

Trick of the Tail is in my opinion a fantastic album (I like it better than Foxtrot).

The whole of Duke, ATOTT, and W&W are great, and ATTWT is consistently good, so the other albums:

Abacab: Abacab, No Reply At All, Keep It Dark (not entirely familiar with it)

Genesis: Mama, Home By The Sea (that's it really)

Invisible Touch: Tonight Tonight Tonight, Land Of Confusion, Anything She Does, Domino (love the whole album though)

We Can't Dance: Jesus He Knows Me, I Can't Dance

Calling All Stations: just avoid it to be honest...
