Should of, could of, would of, with no thanks to Collins.

^I'm sure Hackett appreciated Collins' musicianship enough to not want to leave the band, but it's been chronicled that when he brought Please Don't Touch to the band for a possible group effort, Collins said something along the lines of "Can't get behind it." (sorry for not getting the exact quote). Also, in Collins' autobiography, he wrote that the quality of the songs Hackett was bringing to the table at the time of 'Wuthering wasn't particularly good.

all of them on the Trick album, most on the Wind album (except the awful turd YOSW),

Don't you just LOVE how these ancient threads keep resurrecting?

The title is "Your favorite non Gabriel Genesis songs.", plural, so I would think that listing more than one is well and good. If you mean many, yeah, people can go overboard.

Here is the original post (did you read it?):

Greg W wrote: 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.

Considering that the OP was specifically wondering about ones other than Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering, your post does not look like you really considered the OP's wishes since you specifically mention one on Trick of the Tail.. That said, this topic is so old that it does not matter.

Anyway, outside of Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering, my favourite post Gabriel studio album is ...And Then There Were Three... Of that I suppose that Deep in the Motherlode is my favourite, followed by Burning Rope and Undertow as I recall (been quite a few years since I last played it).

^ Sorry that came across as very obnoxious of me. Anyway, I would have loved to see that tour. Deep in the Motherlode was an early fave of mine from when I started to really get into exploring Genesis just a few years before I joined this site. I kind of owe my Prog journey to trying to find the band and album for the track Hairless Heart which I heard at a bar and was smitten with.
