Reissue Theory x2: Phil Collins - "No Jacket Required" and Peter Gabriel - "So"

March 14, 2010 By Mike Duquette 6 Comments

It has been encouraging to see, in light of Genesis' impending induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a number of commenters showing their respect for the Phil Collins-led, pop-savvy incarnation of the band. The group's output was always listenable - one could argue the 1990s was largely an exception - but it always seemed popular opinion was against them around the Invisible Touch era.

This is ironic, since the same year Invisible Touch was released, former Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel released his most pop-savvy record, So. The two of those records - Invisible Touch and So - are fascinating, but So has an atmospheric quality to its songs that no pop album from that year could lay claim to. And the hits kept coming - "Sledgehammer," "Don't Give Up," "Big Time," "Red Rain" (but not "In Your Eyes," which missed the U.S. Top 20 on its first run and didn't even crack the Top 40 after Say Anything... used the song to massive effect).

But one should not discount Collins' ability to craft really effective pop. He did it with Genesis, Philip Bailey, Anni-Frid Lyngstad of ABBA and of course himself, scoring in 1985 with No Jacket Required, an LP that even featured the talents of Gabriel on closing track "Take Me Home."

To honor the two vocalists of Genesis, here's a special reissue theory look at their most beloved solo discs.

    I knew that Phil Collins played drums on Peter Gabriel's third album but I never knew that Gabriel appeared on "Take Me Home." Have they made any other appearances on each other's records?
