So which is it?

(please only use the last two choices if you REALLY have to)  I want to get an accurate view of what prog fans see as the best of the later 7 albums from 1978-1997, basically the pop albums without Hackett.

I vote Duke, love that album.

I voted We Can't Dance, that's the one I remember best, ussualy i only listen to their very best of compilation (great BTW) I got some best of album regularly playing on my alarmclock stereo (three disc cd-changer), I'm just to tired/lazy to change the CD's. But I like it a lot.

ATTWT for me, a friend bought it because it went on sale and we listened to it expecting it to be complete rubbish and just a good laugh. We found ourselves very suprised when we were enjoying it.

I love And Then There Were Three ... Say It's Alright Joe, Scenes From A Night's Dream, Snowbound ... even that much maligned pop hit Follow You Follow Me ...

There are good songs littered about all over the place ... but then I'm one of those who was a pop Genesis fan before becoming a fan of the prog era ...

For some reason I voted Duke.

But ATTWT was excellent too.

So I guess if I had to listen to SOME post-Hackett Genesis, it would be Duke/ATTWT.

Although I'm basically a fan of the old Genesis, I still like And Then There Were Three, Duke, Abacab and Three Sides Live a lot. From Genesis (the yellow album) on, my admiration becomes less and less, though every album still has it's moments.

Although there are the yucky Misunderstanding and Turn It On Again , Duke was my choice but Shapes (Genesis) stands second, because of a fairly strong first side, and ATTWT.

Voted 'and then there were three'

I think its as good as Duke, but it was the first Genesis album I heard from start to finish in one sitting, and it holds some sentimental value for me. Also, it has 'Burning Rope' Which is among my favourite Genesis songs from any era.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Honestly, i hate them all. After collecting Gabriel era material, it became sad to listen to invisible touch(the only one i had on CD) and i sold it. Some others(WCD, CAS) are even worse

Try Duke

Its great.  No guarantee you'll like it, but its the best mixture of prog and pop I've heard, they're best album of the 80/90s.

DUKE!

ATTWT is also good but lacks the fire of their earlier albums. Duke, however, sounds more powerfull and tight.

And Then There Were Three is criminally underrated, and the only good post-Hackett album.

You may think me strange but I actually like We Can't Dance.
