It's a tough choice because Tony Banks', Steve Hackett's and Anthony Phillips' impressive debuts are all five-star albums for me.

this is very difficult because unlike Yes who's solo work is mediocre in general---these are the 5 most talented guys in any band--with maybe the exception the Beatles--- and all these are great albums---between Banks and Hackett

Hackett, Phillips, Gabriel, Banks. The other two I don't care much for.

I totally agree. Tony banks' and Anthony Phillips' debuts are on my list of albums to buy and I already have five early albums by Steve Hackett in a box set.

neither can I, as they all have flaws
Yikes, that's harsh for Banks. The only spot I can easily define is the last one and it's Face Value (despite being by miles Phil's best solo) To me, Curious Feeling is really the companion album for Smallcreep's Day: they sound like they were recorded in the same place and at almost the same time. I'd put Ant's TG&TG on the same level as those two Generally the debut solo is my fave for every member's career except that Voyage is certainly not my fave from Steve (Mornings is) and PG4 (security) is for Peter, but the debuts don't surclass the rest of the list.

Phil Collins' album is pretty good actually, connected with some great teenager memories, and it doesn't have any votes yet, so mine goes there.

I voted for Tony Banks, although only by a very narrow margin over Steve Hackett.

I voted Collins also......Side 1 is pretty much flawless. Hackett's first is pretty much the only one of his I can listen to. Most of his albums, especially recent one bore me to tears.

Hackett, Phillips, Gabriel. Not keen on the rest.
Voyage is just so magical at it's best. Phillips - is so achingly beautiful Gabriel is sublime in places and hints of what is to come.

It never occurred to me to include Ray Wilson in the poll because I wasn't aware he'd recorded any solo albums.

In all seriousness, this is no contest for me. I really like A Curious Feeling and The Geese & The Ghost but neither holds a candle to the absolute masterpiece that is Voyage Of The Acolyte, in my opinion. Face Value has a few tracks that I like but doesn't really appeal to me as a whole. Peter's debut I just can't get into, I see it as being in the middle of an awkward phase where he's trying to figure out for himself what direction to pursue; none of the songs on it really stand out for me. I've never felt a particular desire to delve into Mike's solo work at all and looking at the results of this poll certainly doesn't change that.

Wow...
Mike Rutherford's Smallcreeps Day didn't get any votes (at the time I voted) and it is probably my most favorite Genesis solo album. (Voted for it). Second for me would be Tony Banks A Curious Feeling. Cant seem to get tired of either of them.
