My favorites are:
Me and Sarah Jane Dodo/Lurker Abacab The only song I don't like is Whodunnit. It's the only Genesis song I zoom right past when it comes up. It's funny, you know...

Man on the Corner is classic 80s Genesis - maybe my favorite track from the post-TTWT era. It's the only track I return to the Abacab LP for - the best tracks on the album are done far better on the Three Sides LP.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

It's probably the best track in the album, IMO. Pop of the highest quality

Dodo/Lurker ( I prefer it as it is in this edited version)
Keep It Dark Abacab It's the last Genesis album I can take seriously but it's messy and feels like a failed experiment. At least they were still trying for something. After that it was disappointing all the way to CAS. I was rooming with a big Genesis fan at college when Shapes came out and he tried to convince me that was some sort of return to form. I didn't believe it then and still don't.

This has been up for a month now, and I wanted to say thanks to everyone who responded. I'm very surprised by both how people responded and by how many took the time to do so. I know this album is far down the list of most people's favorites, but the responses indicate that at the very least, the album was listened to and (somewhat) appreciated. There was even a tiny little bit of love for "Who Dunnit?"
Will wonders ever cease?

Who dunnit is a bit of an odd duck which is why I said "what were they thinking." However, I don't know if I would say it's awful. It's just not what I would expect from them. It sounds more like an experiment than a proper song.
