Abacab is that one album that proggies love to hate but give me a break. No Reply at All is an excellent song. Proggies just seem to really hate 80s pop for some reason, because they blame it for killing prog I guess.

It's understandable. I never fault people for liking one or the other. I am just very obsessive about hearing an entire band's history start to finish if I really like even one album. That led me to listening to all of Genesis's stuff, and I still found music I like in their pop years.
I'm glad to hear Trick of the Tail gets some love, though...I always thought that deserved to be up their with their classics.
