Your favorite ten 1980s Genesis studio songs from that decade. Yes I know, we’re not supposed to like that stuff here!

Mine, in rough order of preference, as well as in nearly chronological order...

Misunderstanding
Turn it on Again
Dodo/Lurker
Abacab
Man on the Corner
Paperlate
That’s All
Tonight Tonight Tonight
Land of Confusion
Do the Neurotic

I had to stretch a bit to come up with #10 here, which was the b-side to “In Too Deep” in the UK.

I was first introduced to Genesis with their 80s stuff. With the exception of a few songs, it wasn't until many years later that I discovered everything pre-Abacab. I've come to like their more poppy stuff less over the years. I think my list mostly reflects that even when talking about their 80s output I prefer the songs that were less likely to be on the radio, or at the very least harkened back (even if in only a small way) to their prog roots.

Duke's Travels
Turn It On Again
Abacab
Dodo/Lurker
Mama
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight
Silver Rainbow (highly underrated song in their catalog)
Home By The Sea
Second Home By The Sea
The Brazilian

The ones I really love are
Behind the Lines -Turn It On Again - Abacab - Dodo/Lurker - That's All (!)
The rest can be filled up by anything not yet listed from the Duke album, which by far has the highest "base level"; not really a fan of what happened later.

Wow that’s exactly my favourite ten 80’s songs
