"If this was only 187th out of 500 in the 80's, I can't even imagine what the top 186 were, speaking of how poorly the 80's music was but for a spark of hope from a legendary giant!"
You should learn to read before you make comments. It clearly states that it came #187 in the 500 GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME and #14 in the 100 BEST ALBUMS OF THE 80's. Meaning there were only 13 better albums in the 1980s, according to Rolling Stone. Not 187!!!

The grand facade! Haven't always been too crazy about some of Peter's solo efforts post Genesis, but he nailed it here! If this was only 187th out of 500 in the 80's, I can't even imagine what the top 186 were, speaking of how poorly the 80's music was but for a spark of hope from a legendary giant! This has to rank in the top ten of anything I purchased in the 80's! Submitted by mheinen3 (Oklahoma City, OK, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Steve Hackett also had some great solo albums Peter Gabriel's solo success was obviously very big. Don't Give Up, Mercy Street, Red Rain, and This is the Picture are my personal favorites. Not crazy about the other songs that were overplayed; but that didn't make Pete a bad artist. Despite the fact that Genesis went to crap in the 80s, former Genesis composer and guitar player(as well as Peter Gabriel's bandmate) Steve Hackett also had a great solo career. Albums like Defector, Spectral Mornings, and Please Don't Touch, you really can't beat it. Check Steve out! Submitted by sexysniffit (Englewood Cliffs, Minnesota) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
