[Review] George Harrison: All Things Must Pass (1970)
George had developed as a songwriter, but even Abbey Road didn’t prepare you for the creative outpouring of this triple-elpee set.

[Review] Brian Eno: Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) (1974)
Apparently, Eno was just getting warmed up on Jets. Once heard, this album will change your world.
[Review] Eno: Another Green World (1975)
Eno’s warped pop sensibilities and ambient interests merge on his magnum opus.
[Review] Brian Eno: Before And After Science (1977)
Not quite another Another Green World, but a final airing out of vocal ideas featuring Eno’s skewed pop/rock sensibilities.
[Review] Brian Eno: Music For Films (1978)
Ambient bits and pieces create a kind of Whitman’s Sampler of wispy works.
[Review] Peter Gabriel (1980)
His breakthrough third album mixes world music with world politics to sometimes shocking effect.
Phil Collins: “In The Air Tonight” (1981)
Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, dum, dum. Smartest thing he’s ever done.
[Review] Phil Collins: Face Value (1981)
This is coin of the realm for Phil Collins’ albums, leaving no misunderstanding that a star had been born.
Phil Collins: “I Missed Again” (1981)
Phil didn’t need to move heaven and earth to have a hit, just earth, wind and fire.

The second album repeats the success of the first down to the smallest details, which is a bit, um, boring.
Phil Collins: “I Cannot Believe It’s True” (1983)
Another single from Phil’s second album, in case you were planning on buying it on the installment plan.
[Review] Phil Collins: No Jacket Required (1985)
The album where Phil Collins became a commercial force and probably began earning more money than some small countries.
[Review] Eric Clapton: Behind The Sun (1985)
Slowhand makes a modern synthesizer album with Phil Collins and it actually sounds pretty good.
[Review] Paul McCartney: Press To Play (1986)
Paul’s best album in years. Also, his only album in years. Macca strikes a modern sound, Phil Collins lurks suspiciously in the background.
