What if I deem Abacab or Shapes as Prog in some form?

I do also, but these to albums are "supposed" to be the final two "real" prog albums in classic form,
I regard also abacab and shapes to be proggy albums but duke and adttwt are more, lets say, organic, even thogh Three markes the last album with Mellotron, for Genesis,

Neither of them.
Genesis suffered a massive stroke after The Lamb (losing Gabriel, the band's brain) and a fatal cardiac haemorrhage after Wind and Wuthering (losing Hackett, the band's heart).
After that, all their music is pop - good pop in some cases, but not really prog and nowhere near the standard of the Trespass to Wind and Wuthering era.

Duke is very good, but ATTWT is brilliant.

And then there were three - so many great melodies on that album.

Duke by a little bit. They are both good efforts, but they marked the beginning of their pop influences becoming more prevalent than their prog influences and where I became less interested in their music.

Duke is a "sh*t sandwich". The first two tracks and final two tracks are great but in between, God help us. AND IT HAS MISUNDERSTANDING ON IT.
ATTWT is consistently wonderful right up until the final track.
I don't think Genesis suffered too bad after Gabriel. ATOTT and WAW were awesome albums. I also love Seconds Out.

As far as I recall Duke has significantly less cheese on it.

... And Then There Were Three: I find this album by all means brilliant. even the band as mighty as Genesis has few songs as beautiful and inspirational as Undertow.. Every song there is of high quality. However, Duke is very hit-or-miss album, alternating some really good moments (Duke's Travel / Duke's End) with a bit horrendous ones :S (Misunderstanding) And what's, on global scale, most important, is the transition in overall sound between these two albums. Whereas "ATTWT" has a still Classic Genesis feelling and instrumentation (Well, yeah, minus Hackettian virtuoso guitar, but still retaining Banks' vintage keyboards) Duke often feels too much plastic.

Duke.
I agree that "Duke" was their last album with progressive rock elements. Only parts of the album are "prog," IMO.
Still, a great album. Much more interesting than ATTWT.

Voted for attw3, though the song Duchess from Duke is probably my favorite post-Hackett song by them.

Really hard choice. I like both of them!
Duke is a good album; even though it has some bad tracks, the first two and the last two are amazing. But the first prog album I've ever heard was ATTWT, and I still like it, so it's my choice.

I only play the devils advocate, I personly don't think they are the last vital progressive album from Genesis, but I needed to be a hypocrite when i made this poll. or it would be boring and uninteresting. I think Genesis is interesting up unitl Invisible Touch and maybe Dance album, From Genesis to Revelation and Calling all Stations are uninteresting for me, personly. I only care for albums between Trespass and We Can't Dance
