I admit, that this is just a thread to find out songs from the post Gabriel era Genesis that are actually good. I have the 1st two lps after Gabriel left and I like Trick of a Tail very much while Wind and Wuthering has its moments, but is considerably weaker IMO. I guess I want to know what songs outside of these two lps are good.

Would be my Top 3.

Post-Hackett (ie., Trick of the Tail, Wind & Wuthering), the only songs I care for are Undertow and Guide Vocal.

Duke's Travels. Second Home by the Sea. The instrumental part of ABACAB. Naminanu. Not much else, and I'm grading on a curve. None of them are really spectacular by the band's prior standards. Maybe if Mama came on the radio, I might leave the station alone for a little while. An odd song that one is.

I remember Mama. I remember liking it back in the day. Just listened to
it. I still like it. It has a quasi neo progressive feel.

1. Dance On A Volcano 2. Duke's Travels/End 3. Mad Man Moon 4. Deep In The Motherlode 5. One For The Vine 6. Dodo/Lurker 7. Domino 8. Home By The Sea 9. Fading Lights 10.The Lady Lies

the last triplet with Hackett on W&W is my favorite, though there's Ripples, Follow You Follow Me, No Son of Mine, Los Endos, Turn It On Again, Mama, I Can't Dance, Dance on a Volcano, etc.

I enjoy all of Trick, Wind, and And Then There Were Three. For the others, my favorites are. Duke: Duchess, Heathaze, Cul-De-Sac, and... hm, Evidence of Autumn. Abacab: Abacab, No Reply At All, Me And Sarah Jane, Keep It Dark, Dodo/Lurker... the rest is iffy, but the album as a whole I like. Closest to new wave Genesis ever got. Genesis: Mama, That's All, Home By The Sea, Silver Rainbow... Taking It All Too Hard Invisible Touch: Tonight Tonight Tonight, Domino, In Too Deep, The Brazilian We Can't Dance: No Son of Mine, Jesus He Knows Me, I Can't Dance, Fading Lights Sorry... Calling All Stations doesn't do anything for me.

Dodo Mama Me and Sarah Jane Entangled Behind the Lines

I enjoy all of A Trick Of The Tail, Wind And Wuthering, the Spot The Pigeon EP, And Then There Were Three (including B sides), Duke (including B sides), Abacab and Genesis. From Invisible Touch I like "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", "Domino" and from The B-sides "Feeding The Fire" and "Do The Neurotic". From We Can't Dance I like "No Son Of Mine", "Hold On My Heart", "Dreaming While You Sleep" and "Fading Lights". From Calling All Stations I like the title track and "Congo".

I think the post-Gabriel albums with Hackett are about as good as the albums with PG.
Some of my favourites with Hackett:
Dance on a Volcano Mad Man Moon 11th Earl of Mar Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers... / In That Quiet Earth
Post-Hackett:
Down and Out Duke's Travels/Duke's End Dodo/Lurker 2nd Home by the Sea Domino

I'm certainly in the minorty but I like most of the post Gabriel output. Not as much as the things with Gabriel but it's good pop-music although that's not exactly my favorite genre.
The things you should check out are probably (not counting the stuff with Hacket expect the Archive songs): ...And then there were 3 (is it just me that thinks that the sound quality is very wishy washy?): Follow you, follow me; Snowbound (most definatly); Burning Rope; Scenes from a Night's Dream; The Lady Lies -Duke: The Duke Suite (Behind the Lines; Duchess; Duke's Travels; Duke's End) -Abacab: Abacab -Genesis: Mama; That's All; Home by the Sea; Second Home by the Sea -Invisble Touch: I'd say everything but for the progressive touch go for: Domino (Medley) and The Brazilian -We Can't Dance: I Can't Dance; Driving the Last Spike; Dreaming while you sleep; Fading distant Lights -Archives #2: The Day the Light went out; It's Yourself
Trick of the Tail is in my opinion a fantastic album (I like it better than Foxtrot).

The whole of Duke, ATOTT, and W&W are great, and ATTWT is consistently good, so the other albums:
Abacab: Abacab, No Reply At All, Keep It Dark (not entirely familiar with it)
Genesis: Mama, Home By The Sea (that's it really)
Invisible Touch: Tonight Tonight Tonight, Land Of Confusion, Anything She Does, Domino (love the whole album though)
We Can't Dance: Jesus He Knows Me, I Can't Dance
Calling All Stations: just avoid it to be honest...

There are many songs I like after Gabriel (and many other I don't, too). However, the ones I find most enjoyable would have to be "One for the Vine", "Mama", and the "Home bythe Sea, second home by the sea" combo. I guess I would have to add the "Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers in that Quiet Earth" combo, "Afterglow", and "The Brazilian" too (and perhaps even "Land of Confusion").

You mean the "evil" laugh? I can't take it seriously since I found out he stole it from Grandmaster Flash in the recent Genesis documentary.
Not much love for "Driving the Last Spike"? One of the best post-Gabriel tracks imo.

I hated it before the documentary although I respect Collins honesty.
Driving The Last Spike is ok . Tells a story nicely but I would have liked a bit more 'oomph'' personally.

The one I thought was fantastic for its particular position in the band's evolution is Heathaze. Then there's Dance On a Volcano, One For the Vine, Mad Man Moon, Entangled, Squonk, Blood On the Rooftops, Eleventh Earl of Mar, Me and Sarah Jane, the Home By the Sea saga, and most of Domino before it goes into its finale.

Even with a time machine you would also need a bit of luck. I remember applying for tickets for the Lyceum (in the days you had to send off a cheque or maybe a postal order and then wait for months with your fingers crossed) only to be disappointed! Had to wait for them to go back to big venues to see them again (ABACAB).
I really like Vancouver for some reason.

Good list. I would add the Brazilian, Duchess, second home by the sea, Burning rope, Domino(one and two), driving the last spike, Congo, Man on the corner, unquiet slumbers for the sleepers, Afterglow, snowbound, silver rainbow and Entangled. Maybe a few more that I can't think of right now.

1) Deep in The Motherlode - my very favourite, I love this song and it's perfect for me, be it any live version or the studio one; 2) Los Endos - it has to be from the Seconds Out show, this version sounds perfect to me, especially the drums throughout the whole music - amazing! And it was wrongly included as a second part of Dance On A Volcano in that '77 album, go figure that; 3) Dance on A Volcano - I prefer the studio version of it, which still moves me a lot and deserves indeed honorable mention here; 4) Duke's Travels/End - yep, for me too and obviously well pointed out in this thread, really quite moving pieces that I like too; 5) ...In That Quiet Earth - this is for me a very interesting instrumental piece!

I can actually tolerate those two (the former more than the latter). On the other hand, 'Dance is such an unmitigated train wreck (I do occasionally put on Hold On My Heart if I'm interested in a catnap).

Hi,
I enjoyed many things in "Dancing on a Volcano" ... but after that it was over for me ... I actually did not enjoy a whole lot of the Phil Collings version of the group, even though there always was one piece that was nice.

My favorite also. The Mellotron sounds very much like the 18th century Glass Armonica. An eerie, almost other-worldly sound. Love it.

Blood on the Rooftops rates a photo-finish second place behind Entangled. I really like many other post-Gabriel Genesis songs too but these stand a notch above all the others. The common thread being a heavy dose of Steve Hackett's writing and playing. Win/win for me.

I think I'm one of the minority that thinks the Collins era stuff is almost as good, sometimes even better, than the early stuff. Really it only starts to get iffy for me with We Can't Dance; the rest is pretty good if not exceptional.

There are so many, so I'll keep it to the few that instantly pop up in the ol cabeza:
Entangled Mama Duke's Travels Second Home by the Sea (possibly my most played Genesis track ever alongside Can Utility.) One for the Vine Los Endos Blood on the Rooftops

I really liked "That's All". It's not that progressive, but it has a nice boogie to it, and nice keyboard work.

Well there's a lot on Trick of the Tail and after that, though there are always moments, I start to lose interest.
I'm going to call out Fading Lights as the last really great Genesis track with Phil Collins. I've no idea about Calling All Stations era -- no particular dislike, I just haven't yet got round to listening to it.

Duke is the only album that matches up to the Gabriel era stuff. ATOTT and W&W are good too and I have a strong liking for Abacab, Tonight, Tonight, Tonight, and Man On The Corner. Other than that, nothing interests me.

Abacab: Me & Sarah Jane, Dodo/Lurker, plus title song is great live! Genesis: Mama, Home By the Sea Invisible Touch: Land of Confusion, Domino We can't Dance: Fading lights, Dreaming While you Sleep, Driving the Last Spike Calling All Stations: There must Be Some Other way

This is me four years later somewhat. Except its as a result of revisiting Wind & Wuthering and realizing that over the decade of not listening to it even once - I've gone from lukewarm to loving it... more than Trick of the Tail (love the parts of it to death but always found it a little patchy). I'm particularly fond of One for the Vine - and ready to give Genesis post 1976 a fair chance.

Track 8: "...In That Quiet Earth" sends tingles up my spine whenever I hear it. Actually, I quite like "Wind & Wuthering" as a whole.

Pretty much anything from a trick of the tail. I think abacab was when they started to go down the toilet but even that one has a few gems on it.

Yeah, from Abacab I also like "man on the corner" and the title track along with those mentioned. Keep it dark is not too bad either.
From the self titled(shapes)album I also like "silver rainbow." I think that's a rather under rated song. Also, I assume you are including second home by the sea when you just say HBTS. You can't forget part two. ;)
From IT I also like "the brazilian" a lot. The title track is at least catchy and also "tonight times three" sounds like an epic pop song with a prog instrumental middle section that has a nice build to it so that one is fine by me as well.
I'm not as familiar with the last two but I agree "fading lights" is worthy of a mention. Maybe their last proggy epic. CAS sounds pretty close to neo prog to me since most of the songs seem to be shorter. I don't despise it like some seem to and in some ways it's less commercial than the five or six or so before it but ultimately I admit it does fall a bit short.
