"In The Air Tonight"
"Behind The Lines"
"I Missed Again"

Those three songs alone make it a great album. Yes, it's "mainstream" music, and there's nothing wrong with that. Think of all those sub-par prog bands that recorded albums stuffed with all the right sounds ('Tron, Gibson guitar, Rick bass) and boring songs.

I feel this way also. Both are quite different from each other, but extremely beautiful, and true masterpieces IMHO.

Can't get over the lack of love for ACF.  Is it that you don't care for this album or Hackett's, Gabriel's and Phillip's are so good?

As some one said above it has a few decent tracks but it's a far cry from what Gabriel and Hackett did on their first ones.
 
BTW...the Wiki article about him claims that he's often cited as the 'most hated man in rock'.

Car is probably the coolest, I could never really get into Acolyte besides the ending song which is perfect

Even Face Value is not bad (at least two songs aren't). In the lot the one I loke most, not necessarily the best, is Smallcreep's Day 
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Banks, Hackett, Collins, Rutherford, Gabriel, Phillips in that order.  Not a clunker here although I never understood the very high esteem for Geese and the Ghost.  I'll have to play it again.

Steve Hackett Voyage of the Acolyte
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Geese and Ghost is one of my all-time favorites, esp side 1 (on vinyl, of course), so I voted for it. But I love Voyage of the Acolyte a lot too. Fortunately other voters are giving it the votes it deserves.

Hackett, hands down. How is it 'Face Value' has no votes - honestly, it's not a bad album (at least I prefer it to Banks' and Gabriel's first solo albums).

Tough to choose, love them all except Face Value...gonna go with Hackett as the others all have a couple songs I'm not crazy about but Acolyte is great all the way through Wink

I honestly equally like Gabriel and Hackett's first ....can't choose ...........so I flipped a coin and Gabriel won.
