Face Value

One of the best breakout albums from any artist associated with Genesis. With one of the biggest hits of the 1980's and still played quite often 30 years later, this album has staying power. With a mix of love songs, slightly depressing ballads, upbeat pop and some great melodic sounds from the former drummer of Genesis, it's a great first attempt at an amalgamation of his own sounds while holding on to the music backbones that have made him the artist he is today.

Phil Collins "Face Value" was his first solo record released in 1981 and it definitely set the pattern for what we would come to expect from him in the next decade. Up to this point he was the drummer and then lead singer of Genesis and after this record he was a star. I happen to be a fan of the Peter Gabriel era Genesis more than the Phil version but I'm the first to admit that Collins has his appeal. He certainly found a musical niche for himself with a combination of horn driven pop coupled with ballads. Throughout the remainder of the 80's Collins was one of the top selling artists but when combined with his Genesis output; he was everywhere.
