Everytime I hear the mellotron on Entangled I get chills down my spine, it's without doubts one of my favorite track of the post-Gabriel period.

My favorite also. The Mellotron sounds very much like the 18th century Glass Armonica. An eerie, almost other-worldly sound. Love it.

Blood on the Rooftops rates a photo-finish second place behind Entangled. I really like many other post-Gabriel Genesis songs too but these stand a notch above all the others. The common thread being a heavy dose of Steve Hackett's writing and playing. Win/win for me.

Has anyone mentioned "Inside and Out" yet? It would be actually a good contender considering how gorgeous the final instrumental section is. I love the way the song shifts from melancholy to a strong feeling of hope and joy.

Never had any love for anything post Hackett. And the only weak spot on Trick or Wind is Your Own Special Way. But Unquiet ... has a strong argument for being my favorite Genesis song (including the sequel of course).

I think I'm one of the minority that thinks the Collins era stuff is almost as good, sometimes even better, than the early stuff. Really it only starts to get iffy for me with We Can't Dance; the rest is pretty good if not exceptional.

There are so many, so I'll keep it to the few that instantly pop up in the ol cabeza:

Entangled
Mama
Duke's Travels
Second Home by the Sea (possibly my most played Genesis track ever alongside Can Utility.)
One for the Vine
Los Endos
Blood on the Rooftops

I really liked "That's All". It's not that progressive, but it has a nice boogie to it, and nice keyboard work.

Well there's a lot on Trick of the Tail and after that, though there are always moments, I start to lose interest.

I'm going to call out Fading Lights as the last really great Genesis track with Phil Collins. I've no idea about Calling All Stations era -- no particular dislike, I just haven't yet got round to listening to it.

Fading Lights (We Can't Dance) is pretty good. Nice prog epic.

Duke is the only album that matches up to the Gabriel era stuff. ATOTT and W&W are good too and I have a strong liking for Abacab, Tonight, Tonight, Tonight, and Man On The Corner. Other than that, nothing interests me.
