I know the record! I know the record! (And I didn't have to look it up, I swear!)
Only three artists to have sold 100 million records as a solo act, AND as a member of another act.
I can take or leave the more treacly, preachy stuff but I make no apologies for loving Phil's solo stuff. The first three records, especially, are stellar (my fave is probably the second one, though if you strip out the two obnoxious - because they were overplayed - hits Sussudio and One More Night, NJR is stronger). I even like the Disney stuff (the Tarzan material). In any other context that would be a killer song. I also prefer Phil-era Genesis, to be honest (W&W is one of my top ten favorite records ever, and Abacab is in there too).
I think it's a crime against humanity that he isn't in the RnRHoF as a solo artist, and Peter is. I get it, Peter has the indie cred and he's more overtly liberal (which is a thing for the Wenner-led RnRHoF) but the guy is a musical genius. I'm just now getting into the Brand X stuff from the late 70's. Yeah, it sounds a little dated, but there's some stellar playing on those records.
But back to the vocals: please, please, please check out the "Classic Albums" doc for Face Value. There's a snippet of Phil singing "Please Don't Ask", just him and a piano, that I guarantee will make you cry (PDA and Misunderstanding were written along with much of the rest of Face Value, including In the Air Tonight, and Banks and Rutherford chose PDA and Misunderstanding for Genesis; Banks has gone on record saying he wished he chose ITAT).
Kev, you're firing on all cylinders, man. Ann Wilson, Macca, Phil... you're halfway to my list of favorite singers of all time, ever. (You just need Mercury, John (Elton), Bono, and Rogers (Paul))
