Continuing a countdown of my favorite albums of 1985…
#7 – No Jacket Required – Phil Collins
The albums I’ve featured this week aren’t records I know by heart. I don’t have a deep enough stable of 1985 releases among my personal favorites.
But each of them has an overall sound and perspective that speaks to me, and three or four songs I really love. Today’s selection is a another great example.
Apart from a couple of tracks from Face Value and a song from the Tarzan soundtrack, this blog has been mostly a Phil Collins-free zone.
That isn’t by design. I have only positive things to say about Collins, whose soundtrack work alone is worth celebrating, let alone his solo albums and work with Genesis. I jammed out to all of those tunes when I was a teen.
But still, I haven’t gone out of my way to feature him.
