IMHO Duke is one of the great albums of our time, recorded in ABBA's Polar Studios at a similar time to Zeppelin's In Through The Out Door but with the success of Collins solo album Face Value using Hugh Padgham and his love of all that nasty 80s technology six years after the release of Duke they made their worse album, Invisible Touch.
It was due to this period in the 80s Genesis and Phil Collins in particular got a bad rep, they sold their soul for the £/$ and the title track to Invisible Touch sounds as nasty as any mid 80s song could but lets not forget that six years earlier they made one of the greatest albums ever.

I was always of the opinion that Genesis improved a little when Gabriel left, .
TBH I thought they improved greatly when Gabriel left, he threw his hat in the ring with 80s technology, when that track Sledgehammer comes on the radio now it really grates on me. Met him in the lift at AES in 1987.
MY Favourite band of all time, saw them in early 75 on the Lamb tour in what used to be called the Gaumount Southampton, again in 1977 on the Wind and Weathering tour and finally at Twickenham in 2007.
The complete Lamb live version is still my favourite piece of music, closely followed by W&W. Agree Duke is Very good too.
I would say Live they are right up there as one of the best of all time, Fantastic musicians. My favourite live moments were Los Endos in 77 the first time I saw twin Superb drummers make such a brilliant “noise” and the Old medley on the 2007 tour, especially the Cinema show segment, makes the hairs stand up
