A common view but I don't agree. ATTWT is more enjoyable to me that the rather fractured and inconsistent W&W. I akso like Collins drumming on Duke and ATTWT a lot more than on W&W but that is beside the point I guess. 
Duke is mostly a great album but suffers from having a few songs that really belonged on a Phil Collins solo album. I would have liked the album a lot more if it had been shorter. Overall it still makes 4/5 easily which puts it alongside Trespass. They are vastly different albums though. One is on the threshold of prog and one is on the threshold of the Phil Collins 80's era, but neither is quite there yet. I'll vote Duke in this instance for personal taste reasons.

Trespass
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Trespass, but this is a rather close call.

Duke is the best album by the 3– think the Duke suite should have been one side of the album I still enjoy it often
