You may still hate Genesis --- the actual style of music didn't change that radically under Collins, at least at first --- but it would give you a different view of them than the somewhat poppy/mainstream outfit they ended up becoming.
Mind you, "And then there were three" I still regard as a great album, but then, I don't hate Collins, or at least I didn't till the debacle that was "Abacab" assaulted my ears....

I like Genesis from the first to last album, not that all are equal. I like
Abacab, I don't think it was a total waste. I think it rocks, Tony Banks did some decent keyboard work on that album.
We Can't Dance prob like the least fave and would rather list to
From Genesis to Revelation and
Calling All Stations than that one.
I don't think any one should hold out listening to early PG era Genesis because of Phil's later work in the band. Almost two different bands really - musically and lyrically. It's kinda like saying I don't listen to The Jam because of The Style Council.
