That's not anywhere near representative of the band though. "Invisible touch" sees Genesis awkwardly trying to jump over into pop territory while still retaining one foot very precariously in prog world. They tried total pop on "Abacab" and were generally lambasted for it (and rightly so), their previous album "Duke" managed that quite well I felt, then the self-titled (what was that all about?) pushed a little more back towards prog while "We can't dance" went more or less all-out pop/rock, and they sensibly called it a day with "Calling all stations".

For proper, classic Genesis, and to get the best flavour of what the band were about, what they stood for and the legacy they helped create, I would recommend

Foxtrot
Trespass
Nursery cryme
Selling England by the pound
The lamb lies down on Broadway
A trick of the tail

and
Wind and wuthering

with Duke thrown in and maybe
And then there were three.
