A simpler, more direct approach to songwriting worked so well that Banks-Collins-Rutherford scored consecutive #1 albums with Duke, Abacab, Genesis, and Invisible Touch in the '80s, and with We Can't Dance in 1991, and became a stadium act without losing any of their sophistication and attention to detail.
