Abacab

This. But what do I know? I stopped buying their albums after Duke, and I really don’t care about their hits.

Just recently tried really hard to give it a go, but in the end: There is no good Genesis Record after Gabriel left, and so, there also can't be none after Hackettt left, of course.
Slightly off-topic, I know. Forgive me.

Okay, another listen of Many Too Many. It starts off pretty nice, but the sound is too drenched in the synth string sound. At the "Oh Mama" part I think it becomes too much, and when it goes up yet a notch at the "I thought I was lucky" -part, it's just too overdramatic and heavy with synth strings.

"Many Too Many" is a gorgeous track. Have another listen

We Can't Dance (1991)     (Good tracks: Dreaming while you sleep, Tell Me Why, Living Forever, Hold On My Heart)(worst song: Never a time)

"Never A Time" is also a lovely little tune. Try again 

1. Duke - Honestly one of my favorites of any era.
2. ATTW3 - It gets slightly better every time. There's always a song I never liked, and suddenly I like it.
3. Invisible Touch - A very slight edge over Abacab. Mainly because it has fewer tracks.

What you mean is that you ceased to enjoy them after W & W, which is a totally different thing altogether, given that they proceeded to release a further seven studio albums, plus live and compilations, they clearly didn't "die", but actually resembled something relatively healthy, certainly judged upon sales. In my opinion they died as a creative band to become a boring adult contemporary band. Surely they didn't died economically (by the contrary), but they died musically (in my opinion of course). Not pedantic, just honest. Iván   And I respect your opinion, because at least it is based upon musical knowledge & tastes rather than puerile misled hatred of Collins. I do, though, very much disagree with that opinion. I have had years of pleasure listening to the post Hackett material, and I regard some of it as constituting some of the finest progressive rock of all time. As a very quick example, I still, 30 years on, get goosebumps listening to Dukes Travels/End. Way to go Lazland, could not agree with you more
