They never stopped producing great albums. But if you want the last great PROG album then that would be Wind & Wuthering hands down.

I like trick and I like W&W quite a lot, but when it comes to the last "great", that has to be the Lamb.

I'm not sure if I wanna call We Can't Dance great(it is a pretty superb album to be sure), but I can definitely say Duke

Very well applied that photo posted by hellogoodbye!
 
For me the duck represents the success of Collins as the new leader of the band (Genesis last phase), somewhat like an actor that got famous for his performance at Broadway at the time "the lamb lies down on Broadway"(the lamb being the Genesis first phase), but soon after "the lamb dies down on Broadway" and "the duck goes to Hollywood"...

This is a very good reflexion, and I agree completely. 

For me is We can't dance. I like CAS, and Banks and Rutherford always were the Genesis musical engine, but without the arrengers masters, simply they couldn't do it. And Collins really knows how to take some Banks or Rutherford creation and transforms it in something completely superior. When the guy was gone...

He somehow always finds a picture with a duck in it, that's relevant to the thread at hand..  It's like a special talent he has.

The greatest Genesis albums of all times are Foxtrot, Selling England..., The Lamb Lies on Broadway.

The LAST greatest album are Wind & Whutering and ... And thEN tHERE wERE tHREE.

Outside prog rock, speaking of "plain" pop-rock, a very good album by Genesis is We Can'T Dance.

Callig All Stations is too dark, not very digestible, very near to industrial rock...

Genesis were ALWAYS great during Peter Gabriel's era, and they stayed accettable till Hackett left the group. Afterwards, you can talk no more about "a progressive rock band", they became in fact poppy.

And then there were three.

I think this album qualifies as great, in fact burning rope might be my favorite Genesis song apart from Firth and Supper.
