Genesis-We Can´t Dance (1991)

Strictly speaking, this was Genesis's last album, and the last with Phil Collins at the helm, even though six years later they released the unforgettable "Calling All Stations" under the band's name essentially a solo project by Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks with singer Ray Wilson. Released during the height of Phil Collins's solo career, it serves as a fitting epitaph for what is considered one of the most iconic progressive rock bands of all time. Much more focused on progressive sounds than the previous, more commercially oriented "Invisible Touch", this new recording saw the trio (Collins, Rutherford, and Banks) concentrate on songs with more socially conscious lyrics (social commentary and existentialism, among other recurring themes, are addressed here, with some sarcastic and humorous songs on very hot topics of the time) and more complex instrumentation. However, tracks like "Jesus He Knows Me", "Tell Me Why", and "Hold On My Heart" were clearly written for radio, yet they retained their excellent musicianship. On the other hand, the funk-rock track "I Can't Dance" is the kind of song that would fit perfectly on any of Phil Collins' albums due to its simplicity and infectious rhythm. On the more complex side, there are tracks like "Driving The Last Spike", "Dreaming While You Sleep", "No Son Of Mine", "Way Of The World", and "Fading Lights," all of which showcase their brilliant progressive side.
