We Can't Dance (1991) is the seventeenth album by the progressive rock band Genesis. It was the last studio album featuring vocalist/drummer Phil Collins, who left the band to concentrate on his solo career, a few years after touring for the album.
This was Genesis' first studio album in five years, the previous release being Invisible Touch in 1986. The album peaked at No. 4 on Billboard's 200 (North America) chart (while yet another UK # 1), and spawned five Billboard hit singles: "I Can't Dance" (No. 7), "No Son Of Mine" (No. 12), "Hold On My Heart" (No. 12), "Never A Time" (No. 21) and "Jesus He Knows Me" (No. 23).
