Phil's Best Work

Review Score: (10/10)
In the 80's, Phil Collins was on the radio probably more than any artist. Busy with his solo work, his continued leadership of Genesis, and co-production of other artists, Collins was one of the true pioneers of the 80's rock/pop era. "No Jacket Required" is arguably the best album Collins has released. From the dance-pop number "Sussido" to the harder rocking "Don't Lose My Number" to the R & B style "Take Me Home" to the number one ballad "One More Night", the album is a strong blend of many different styles. Also the album cuts are strong such as the silly "Who Said I Would?" and the romantic "We Said Hello Goodbye". This would become the last album by Phil to have some power and muscle to it, as Collins would become more middle of the road after this album, becoming sappy and happy and a social commentator. Pick up the 1985 Grammy album of the year winner and see just how talented the former teenage drummer from Genesis has become.
