Love the early Genesis, like the middle years, don't listen to the last stuff much, except Fading Lights, which has that feel....
Liked the pop stuff at the time, but it hasn't aged as well - or, to be more kind, it helped define the 1980's, and so seems old now. Still it is a happy, decent pop - like the early Beach Boys...hard to separate the music from the age it was made in, while some of their other music still resonates.
Gabriel is great, and I have all his albums; but I do like much of Phil's solo stuff too.
Band definitely went pop big time, but Trick of the Tail (first album after Peter left) is, IMHO, their best album overall. Has Peter's aggression and range with Phil's tightness and economy....
Still waiting for the Gabriel/Collins/Genesis reunion....
