I think the Phil era Genesis albums were good up until We Can't Dance.

A progressive rock band experimenting with other genres of music? HOW DISGRACEFUL!

Sure, they had some terrible songs, like Illegal Alien and I Can't Dance. But they also had some real gems like That's All and Land of Confusion.
I'm a massive fan of the Gabriel era Genesis, but I will admit, the Phil Collins years had some decent material.

A Trick of the Tail was pretty good, even if it was a bit of a step down from their previous album.

Duke and Genesis (Shapes) were excellent pop/rock, but after that, I really can't say much.

Invisible Touch was God-A-wful.
