"No Jacket Required" is the third solo studio album by English singer-songwriter Phil Collins, the lead vocalist and drummer for the rock band Genesis. It features guest backing vocalists, including Helen Terry, Peter Gabriel and Sting. On release, the album was received favourably by the majority of music critics, although opinions have become more negative in subsequent decades and it has rarely been featured in "Best Albums of the 1980s" lists since. It won three Grammy Awards including for Album of the Year in 1986.

"Face Value" is the debut solo studio album by English drummer, singer-songwriter and Genesis lead singer Phil Collins. After his first wife filed for divorce in 1979, Collins began to write songs during a break in activity from Genesis with much of the material concerning his personal life. The album was recorded from mid-1980 to early 1981 with Collins and Hugh Padgham as producers. Additional musicians include the Phenix Horns, Alphonso Johnson, and Eric Clapton.

After the massive success of his 1981 album "Face Value", Phil Collins didn't take a much of a break. Genesis released "Abacab" six months later, then headed out on a long tour. When they got back, Collins jumped right into recording his second solo album, 1982's "Hello, I Must Be Going!" The album wasn't a huge departure from the formula established on "Face Value", built as it was on introspective, gut-spilling ballads, horn-driven R&B jams, arty rockers, and dramatic breakup songs.

On the 30th June 1990 in the grounds of Knebworth House a concert was staged to raise funds for Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy and the Brit School For Performing Arts. It has since been heralded as the "best British rock concert of all time". The breathtaking performing line-up was drawn entirely from acts who had been recipients of the prestigious Sliver Clef Award presented annually by Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy for outstanding services to the British Music Industry.

"…But Seriously" is Phil Collins' fourth studio full-length album and was released in November 1989. The album featured more organic production, with much more live instrumentation as opposed to the use of drum machines. Four hit singles came from "…But Seriously", and the album topped charts worldwide.
