I even like Phil Collins 1st lead effort, And Then There Were Three. Then he took over and it was almost pop. That wasn't Phil's first album on lead, it was the first album without Steve Hackett.   Peter Gabriel left after 1975's The Lamb Lie Down on Broadway, and Phil sang lead from then on, including on the next two albums - A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering. Then Steve Hackett left, and the following album was And Then There Were Three.   But I agree with your premise: the first Genesis albums with Phil on lead vocal were still pretty good... but he ended up steering them in a commercial pop direction. I didn't have a problem with Genesis until after ABACAB. But yeah...they certainly jumped into the deep end of the pool. They're music from the mid to late 80's was complete trash. I actually like the "Genesis" album right after Abacab, but agree that the rest since has been crap. But I agree completely that the early phil stuff is fantastic and refuse to jump on any anti-phil bandwagon. Also want to add is I saw them on their last tour and thought they were excellent.
