OK, this may be frowned upon being in the prog section but let us give the BRAND X/GENESIS man some credit. From a progger's perspective which is his best studio effort regardless of prog credentials or not.
 
NO knocking the guy, remember he did the most obscure prog with Brand X so let's give him some credit and keep the thread clean.

I voted on the second album.

"Thru These Walls" is my one of the favorites.

I like most of Phil's solo work, but especially Face Value (what a specific mood here!). And I agree with kazuhiro - Thru' These Walls is a gem.

I think But Seriously is his best album, there is no filler there, as a pop /aor album is perfect,  also the production is not cliched as NJR. In addition is his best drumming performance from his solo career and the instrumental is great.

But Seriously
Hello I Must be Going

Yes, But Seriously is a very solid album overall. NJR is one of the weekest IMO and i agree very cliched and " 80's" if you know what I mean, yet one of his most commercial. And without being negative I think he lost the plot with Testify.

Like it or not, Phil's studio albums aren't prog, so why are we discussing them on Prog Archives? Additionally, much as I respect Phil, I don't own one of his studio albums. I don't like them. Enough said.

Face Value is my favorite.  Such an intense and emotional album from start to finish.  Great for breakups.  I'm also a fan of Dance Into the Light, as all the drums on the album are real, and it has a jazzy feel to a lot of it.  Hello and Seriously are also good albums.  Never been a fan of No Jacket, Both Sides or Testify. 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I haven't moved anything, nor could I.

Chris posted in the correct place from the start.

I haven't heard most of them but Face Value was OK.  Not enough for me to buy one though.  I bet I can get a CD dirt cheap used though.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I bought Face Value a couple of months ago and it's an amazing album. Hello I must be going is pretty good too. I don't like all the later albums that much but he still did some great songs like Take me home, I wish it would rain down and Against all odds.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

But.. Seriously is the best album as most of the songs are pretty good, but some of PC's best solo moments are in Face Value and  No Jacket Required....
