500 Greatest Albums of the 1980s ... Ranked! # 336 Phil Collins - Face Value

 

'I never thought time could pass more slowly...' 

Oh no. Not Phil Collins. Oh no. Not Face Value. You coudn't find an album that waas more ubiquitous in the Eighties and interested me less. It seemed to scream Surrender ! Give up life. Give up hope. Go out to the suburbs. Catch your morning train. Don't forget your brolly. Crossword on the train. Maybe have a fling with your secretary. Be dull. You know you want to. No thanks Phil ! Good drummer. But his music post a few decent songs on ate Seventies and early Eighties Genesis albums is the very definition of blandness and giving in.
