Very hard choice, Steve has so many wonderful albums. From Voyage through The Night Siren, his music is quite impressive. I certainly cannot choose.

Hmm...I missed this thread till now.

Number 1 for me is Spectral Mornings. I absolutely love Ballad of a Decomposing Man and The Tigermoth vocal that Tom Ozric dissed. S’okay. I dissed an album he was gung ho about once.

Number 2 for me would probably be To Watch the Storms, and then maybe Defector. I’d put Momentum in right after that. And then Guitar Noir, which doesn’t get enough acclaim, even from Hackett himself. Voyage of the Acolyte after that. Mmm I’d add Please Don’t Touch into the top tier too. Beyond the Shrouded Horizon? Maybe it too because of that wonderful bonus CD in particular. The top tier is very large. That’s okay.

I've been playing Beyond the Shrouded Horizon and The Night Siren over recent months and been increasingly impressed by both. I have to admire his refusal to stick to a particular style within albums. It might not make for consistency and what might be a perfect album - but his vision remains fresh from a solo perspective - whilst his Genesis Revisited projects helps fund it all, hopefully. Hasn't his vocals improved significantly, as well?!?

I'm largely with HackettFan here, Spectral Mornings & To Watch the Storms top my list. One of the few musicians who has kept his creativity, productivity and taste through all these years (and his guitar skills anyway), and as BaldJean wrote, a true uncompromising artist.
