It's a trick question, there are in fact no good tracks on the album. 

Judging from the poll so far it has to be Invisible Touch which has no votes. LOL

Land Of Confusion for me for the video.

Perhaps Tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight because oh ho....

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

^^^My feelings exactly. Can't vote for any of them, just not an enjoyable album for me.

The album did not age too well, though I liked it when it came out.
I think that, with the success of its predecessor, the band succumbed to a "formula" somehow
instead of really progressing on.
Don't mind "Pop", though, went for "Throwing it all away" cause it still can touch me.

Cool to see this topic return.  If anyone's curious a similar poll was set up a couple years ago, with different results than what is showing here.

Difference is I made the "mistake" of separating the Domino tracks into two, as some were quick to point out. (I've closed reply options to keep it from being resurrected)

I don't hate this album. It's just a little weak, and the production is awful.

There's a few tracks I like though. Domino gets my vote. I think it's among their best 80's tracks. The live version is very good. I also quite like Land of Confusion and Tonight, tonight, tonight. I'm probably the only person who doesn't like The Brazilian. Sounds like a lazy attempt at a pseduo prog instrumental; a little token something for the old fans..

I remember listening to the Wembley concert on the radio, for that tour, and they played In the Cage, Unquiet Slumbers/In that Quiet Earth and Afterglow. All sounded fantastic, but they left all those old tracks off the live DVD..

I disagree with you Andy. I think this is their strongest and most  consistent post Duke album and the production is excellent.

It is 'technically' brilliant production. The clarity on all the individual instruments is near as damn it perfect, but for me ears it's cold and clinical. Overall it scrapes 3 stars for me these days. As I said I don't hate it, and I probably like it more now, than I did when it first came out.

I prefer Abacab, Duke and Genesis, although I think it's arguably a stronger album than We Can't Dance.

^I agree, I think the production is lifeless, plastic and and stinks of the 80's.

Voted for Domino. Funny that people complain about this album being cold and clinical. That's exactly how I feel about Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson in general, yet he is seen as a genius. Could the unpopulairty of this album have anything to do with the mainstream success instead?

I liked it at the time and was happy that Genesis was seeing commercial success.  It's just that the commercially successful stuff doesn't wear well over the years.  Hear it a few times and that's all you need to hear it in your lifetime.

Sooo.... does that mean we shouldn't listen to, let's say, Tales from topographic oceans anymore because it was #1 in the album charts? No more Dark side of the moon? Throw away Thick as a brick?

31/2 years later the thread gets bumped.......LOL
I do kind of like Land Of Confusion....but I honestly don't play anything after 'Wind...' these days.

I was first introduced to Genesis from listening to Casey Kasem's Top 40 when Tonight, Tonight, Tonight played. Therefore, I feel like I'm obligated to choose it.

This is a trick question. There are no good songs from that album.

Confession time - I went to see them on this tour (Leeds, UK), the medley from 'Wind and Wuthering' just about made it worth it...

Yep, Domino. This IT album was a mega-commercial success, sure, but still held some Progressive tendencies. Not a great album by any stretch, but O.K. If it was done by a 'new' band at the time, it probably would've been embraced a lot more by the Prog public.
