I haven't heard all so no vote. That being said I'm a big fan of "car" and "voyage of the acolyte." It would be hard for me to chose between those two anyway. I think that particular PG album is probably PG's most under rated and one of the most underrated albums in general. There's certainly a lot more to it than just "solsbury hill." Wink

Hackett’s VotA > Phillips’ Geese and the Ghost

I remember liking Smallcreep’s Day, but it’s been so long I don’t know if I would rate it higher or lower than Car. The other two are simply not to my liking.

Only the Hackett album is a five star album imo. Geese is four star only because I love the 12-string guitar and the others are only around three stars while I'm being generous here to Mike Rutherford.

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.
It's good to see Mike Rutherford's debut album managed to garner at least one vote. Smile

I find myself agreeing with you again (although I did vote for Car) Smile

I don't think any band had as much really good to excellent solo work come from it.  This poll is easy for me as Banks' first solo is always in my car.  Love that album and while most of his solos are at least good, I wish he wasn't chasing hits singles(pre 7) that never came.  It's not his natural style.  

of the first solos, in order:
Banks
Hackett
Rutherford 
Collins   
Gabriel
Phillips

...and not a bad album in the bunch!

1. Tony Banks
2. Steve Hackett
3. Anthony Phillips
4. Peter Gabriel
5. Phil Collins
6. Mike Rutherford

It's odd that Tony Banks is either at the top of everyone's list or at the bottom, but never in between. Smile

It's not the sort of album that should garner extreme views. Maybe it's because either people like Tony Banks or don't like him.

Tony Banks appears to be a Marmite artist who you either like or don't like, with no in-betweens, or a Vegemite artist in Australia. Tongue

All praise-worthy albums but I just can't go against the pastoral bliss that is The Geese and The Ghost. Along with Mike Oldfield's Hergest Ridge and Side 2 of Alan Parson Project's Tales of Mystery and Imagination ("The Fall of the House of Usher") it remains my most played music from that era.
