Not all albums stand the test of time, but plenty do and Australian music critic Stevie Nix will bring one to you each week. He'll cover all eras and most genres and tell you why each record is so revered and, equally, why it deserves to be. And he only uses six songs to do it.

Face Value by Phil Collins

When Phil Collins released Face Value in February 1981, few could have predicted that this deeply personal debut would launch one of the most successful solo careers in pop music history. The album emerged from one of the darkest periods of Collins' life — a crumbling marriage that left him alone with his pain and a drum machine — and transformed that raw emotional devastation into something far greater than a simple breakup album. It became a watershed moment that proved Collins was an artist with a singular vision willing to take risks.
