I’ll never get why a select people get so butthurt over post 1980 genesis here, just don’t listen to it. Lol, complaining on the internet and trying to tear it down for fans who understand and have accepted the progression of the band is just cringe worthy. Maybe try to understand the appeal and if it’s not for you move on, those those 9 pre 1980s albums are still there. It’s the equivalent of people who relentlessly bitch about Dennis Deyoung not being in Styx, it’s just such a silly thing only Boomers complain about. If in 40 years you haven’t been able to find anything to fill that empty prog era genesis hole in your heart maybe it isn’t Genesis that’s the issue.
 If you like thier sickly pop music then please stop being an apologist for them and get on with your pop music post, as I get quite tired of that.
Look, bands change, that's what they do. You cant expect a band to do the same kind of music forever. The 70's were a time when prog rock was in, but as the 80's approaches, prog rock had lost its popularity and people were more into pop rock. Genesis did what every band ever has done, they had to get with the program and make something that would be marketable in the 80's. However, UNLIKE most bands, they were successful in that. Honestly, i think that the second period gives me far more respect for Genesis, because they were able to compkletely change their style and still make it great. Just because it isnt prog rock doesnt mean it is bad music. Their prog rock was some of the best prog rock out there, and their pop rock was some of the best pop rock out there. They proved that they could adapt to any musical climate, and that makes them great. It may not be your style, but their pop rock was still great, just as great as their pop rock.
