In chrono order:
1. 1967-1974 - Early Genesis w. Peter Gabriel - too weird
2. 1975-1983 - Golden/Middle Era - friggin' amazing, some of the best music ever made
3. 1984 onward - Post Pop-Sellout Era - short FM-friendly crappy pop tracks
.
Totally agree.
There are very few songs I listen to from 1984 onward. It's pap from a band who's members KNOW better but are in a cashgrab down Idontgiveafuck Mountain all the way to the bottom.
Here's Phil's best attempt to sound like Peter Gabriel.

The early Genesis is what made me a fan..Once Peter had left the band just sputtered with lineup changes and a real power struggle for the heart of the band. They talk about doing a reunion but without Peter and Hackett I don't want to see nor hear it.
